Hey. I'm sorry but I had to revert your edits. WikiProject categories belong to the talk page (and are created automatically when a WikiProject tag is added). Prolog (talk) 15:58, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the future, please explain your reasoning for such a deletion in the edit summary. I found this while researching why an experienced editor would remove without explanation what appears at first glance to be a legitimate category tag. Thanks! --Guy Macon (talk) 18:21, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I used rollback due to the high number of edits that needed reversion (see WP:RBK). Prolog (talk) 19:12, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. I understand. My apologies. --Guy Macon (talk) 23:50, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping out, and sorry for these troubles. Just to ask, how do I add WikiProject categories? Wei2912 (talk) 10:52, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You shouldn't normally need to add these by hand. For example, the template {{WikiProject Linux}} automatically categorizes the talk page based on the quality and importance ratings. Prolog (talk) 21:47, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So should i just add the template to the talk page? BTW I'm not supposed to add that to pages which the WikiProject has no effect on as of yet. I just need to add those pages to the category so that we can schedule these pages for improvements. I think I'll remain with nominating these pages. Thanks.

Yes, the template is enough. It should of course be added only to relevant talk pages. Suggested improvements can be tracked through to-do lists. Prolog (talk) 19:06, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I was directed to your talk page by the participants list on WikiProject Linux. I've started a discussion whether we can keep it running, or mark it as inactive.– Abuluntu ( talk 06:37, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
