Portal:Intricate subpage
Is there any reason that this needs to be in portal space? It's not a portal about intricate subpages... Zetawoof(&zeta;) 07:20, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Deaths in 2001
Are you going to do the redirects on February and January also? I hope so as I have no idea how to do it and no idea what to put as the listas parameter for them. Thank you.

I have asked GPI-MediaWiki Union why those thirteen months have been selected. I hope to get an answer soon as I plan to nominate them for deletion on the grounds of over-categorization.

The listas parameter does for those talk pages that have the WikiProject Biography banner what the DEFAULTSORT value does for all other pages. It determines how those pages are sorted in the category listings when it is not desirable for the page to be sorted according to its name. (For example, the talk pages for Kenneth Armitage and Kenneth Oram should be under "A" and "O", respectively, in Category:Unassessed biography articles rather under "K" where they now sit.

The births by year and deaths by year categories are among those categories that have the WPBiog banner on their talk pages. There is a huge category of Biography articles without listas parameter that I am trying to clean. Right now the first three pages under "C" are I have to put the listas parameters to 0489 BC deaths, 0049 BC deaths and 0490 BC deaths, respectively. It bothers me a little that there are only about 300 categories like this that lack the listas parameter. It bothers me more that I do not care enough to check on the ones that are missing.
 * Category talk:489 BC deaths
 * Category talk:49 BC deaths
 * Category talk:490 BC births

Does that make sense?

Thank you! I had not noticed that the categories are manually populated. I am going to de-populate them post haste.
