--- Comment #22 from Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> --- (In reply to John Mark Vandenberg from comment #21) > Another way to improve the situation is for the output of the target > (reached via a redirect) to say more than 'redirected from [category:old > category]'. If automatic category member moving is not implemented, it > could say 'redirected from [category:old category] which has 10 members', > which alerts the reader to the fact that they should visit the old category. That's clearly not needed ! We don't have to use any template in the target category, only the soft-redirected category uses a template that will automatically recategorize as a subcategory of the target category, using a sort key listing it with an index character like a backward arrow. I don't see any rationale for modifying the target category (i.e. the former category page that has been moved). Listing the older category as a subcategory, as long as it is not empty, is enough !!! (and this works well in Commons, Meta-Wiki, Wikipedia... except that sometime we need to null-edit the empty soft-redirected category to unlist it from the target category and remove if from the maintenance category listing non-empty soft-redirected categories) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
