Some Outstanding Issues with Categories

Background: On Sat April 30, I recategorized pages with the “Pilot Cards” tag as “Characters with Pilot Cards”. To track which pages I converted, I activated the category page “Characters with Pilot Cards”, with the plans to later replace such with the description from “Pilot Cards”. I learned afterwards that one can’t move pages to overwrite another. I then moved “Category: Characters with Pilot Cards” to “Category:Characters with Pilot Cards(temp-delete)” in the hopes to move “Category: Pilot Cards” to “Category: Characters with Pilot Cards”, but that did not solve the issue either. I did manage to move the talk page for “Category talk: Pilot Cards”. But “Category: Characters with Pilot Cards” has been locked for six days now. Plus I am uncertain if move would allow me to overwrite a redirect page that corresponds to a different page. [FYI: I have now learned it is best to move the category page first before changing category tags.]

Dmon has noted that there have been some unsusual things happening with categories moves over the past month or so and that the issues will need further investigation. I am documenting the issues here so that the matter can remain on the radar until an appropriate time in the future.


What needs to be done

  • Move “Category: Pilot Cards” to “Category: Characters with Pilot Cards” replacing the latter (but leaving the talk pages untouched).
