OTRS --> VRS
Hey J, the changes to the templates caused many, many talkpages to be categorized into non-existent categories; I trust you plan to create all the necessary cats? In the meantime, I have reverted the subset of template code changes causing the miscategorizations. Best, UnitedStatesian (talk) 17:00, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry, missed your message. Yeah, I'm following up now about this. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 20:43, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Proposed merge
I may be confused about the merge of topicons - if OTRS is merged into the one you proposed, what exactly will it do? Is it the same VRT topicon that I have my UTP? If so, and it doesn't change anything, then I will strike my O ivote. (please ping when you respond)  Atsme 💬 📧 04:25, 1 April 2022 (UTC)


 * @Atsme I simply want ot move the "main" topicon used by most users to that name, if you're willing to change your template's name. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 20:45, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm a team player - what shall we change it to?  Atsme  💬 📧 20:47, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Howabout Template:VRT topicon2 (similar to how Template:OTRS topicon2 exists which should be deleted later). Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 20:51, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Works for me - have it it, Joseve05!!  Atsme 💬 📧 21:11, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedia pages with unconfirmed permission received by OTRS
Hello, Josve05a,

There are 48 categories that have been moved into this redirect category that is supposed to be empty. The fact that a category redirect has contents is causing it, and other OTRS categories to show up in Category:Wikipedia non-empty soft redirected categories which states Wikipedia soft redirected categories should not be populated.

If you could move these 48 categories into the correct target category, Category:Wikipedia pages with unconfirmed permission received by VRT, that would be awesome. Since you JUST received the page mover right, maybe recategorizing an area of categories that has been around for a while wasn't the ideal plan to start using this advanced permission. Start slow as you are learning your way, this was not the best way to start as a page mover. Thank you for looking into this. Liz Read! Talk! 18:48, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, and please fix the categories in Category:Wikipedia category-redirect box parameter needs fixing, too. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 18:53, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * As with above, I didn't get an email that I got a new message here, and I was away for a few days. Seems like it has been solved but I'm following up now. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 20:44, 1 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Please can you also fix all the relevant templates and categories so that Category:Wikipedia files with unconfirmed permission received by OTRS as of unknown date is no longer populated. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:06, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Will take a gander at this first thing tomorrow morning once I'm at a desktop and with a cup of coffee. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 19:00, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thought I did this already, checking what needs to be done... Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 19:36, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

This site shows five automated high-level metrics where you can see the overall health and performance of our wikis' technical environment.

 * On Wiktionary wikis, the software to play videos and audio files on pages has now changed. The old player has been removed. Some audio players will become wider after this change. The new player has been a beta feature for over four years.
