For example on > en.wiki: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_that_need_to_be_wikified I'll try to explain which is the difference that you don't see, and please excuse me for my bad English: Yes, Hidden Categories are categories, but maintenance categories, not encyclopedic ones. Now suppose you plan to collaborate by means of categorizing encyclopedically uncategorized pages, I mean tagging some articles in there respective thematics (i.e. geography, politics, biographies or so). Where can you find a list of such thematic-uncategorized pages, especially those already including one o more maintenance cats? The category where you are supposed to base this job is not Articles_that_need_to_be_wikified, as most articles in that category *are* already thematically categorized. My proposal would create a list of *all* articles encyclopedically uncategorized, having them been or not categorized in hidden maintenance categories. If, as you consider, it isn't logical to search for them in this particular Special page, feel free to change this bug title to "create a new special page" that does that; but imho it shouldn't be a new special page. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
