User talk:A smart kitten
Question
Hi @A smart kitten: can you please create the Template:Strongest support and Template:Strongest oppose pages? USB4215 (talk) 21:06, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- @USB4215: Thanks for the message :) To be honest, I probably wouldn’t be inclined to create them myself, as I guess I could just use something like {{strong support|Strongest support}} if I personally wanted to convey that sentiment within a discussion. All the best, —a smart kitten[meow] 13:15, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
Re: restoration of "Docker/SIG" categories
Hi @A smart kitten :) I removed those categories as part of my efforts to improve documentation. I explained my thinking, but I understand and accept yours. I did the same thing with MediaWiki-Docker-Dev - you are welcome to revert my change there too for consistency. Douginamug (talk) 16:55, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Douginamug: Thanks for the note! Out of interest, what do you think about the idea of moving them to 'former'/'historical' subcategories? My thinking is that something like that might hopefully prevent potential confusion for (e.g.) someone looking for active Docker-related pages in Category:Docker, while still allowing such pages to be discoverable from their categories for (e.g.) people interested in reading about previous Docker-related initiatives. (Thinking about it, maybe it might be an idea to start a discussion at the Village pump about how best to categorize historical documentation pages?)

- That is a good question and I'd love to know the answer! For me, the present has to take priority, so whatever is chosen, keeping current docs uncluttered should take precedence. I am still a preservationist, and wouldn't want to delete pages - even removing their still accurate categories is a degredation of sorts.
- Perhaps help:categories#Hidden categories could be useful? Let me know if you figure it out, or ask on Village pump. Douginamug (talk) 19:34, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Douginamug I'll try and remember to post a question about it on the Village pump tomorrow :) —a smart kitten[meow] 21:19, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
