Web browser: --- Bug #: 33553 Summary: User:Babel AutoCreate creating categories it shouldn't Product: Wikimedia Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: General/Unknown AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: lorddarkknig...@hotmail.com Classification: Unclassified First and foremost I apologize if this is not the correct location to be reporting this, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Babel_AutoCreate says to report here any "Categories we want disabled". Additionally when I brought this up on the Mediawiki talk page for the babel extension I was directed here. I'm having a problem with this bot re-creating a category I salted, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:User_simple-3. I'm not sure why this bot should have administrative capability of being able to recreate creation protected pages. Presumably if a page is creation protected, this bot should not be going in and recreating it. In any case, this CfD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/User/Archive/February_2008#Category:User_simple_and_all_subcategories concluded that all the simple categories should be merged with the parent category. Therefore: User_simple-1 User_simple-2 User_simple-3 User_simple-4 User_simple-N Should be disabled from being created. At the time of the CfD User_simple-5 had not been created so it wasn't included, but there's no logical reason to allow that one either, so please disable that as well. Furthermore, I noticed this bot also recreated the previously deleted User bat-smg series of categories. This was originally deleted here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/User/Archive/September_2007#Category:User_bat-smg and later re-deleted here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/User/Archive/September_2008#Category:User_bat-smg While those debates only included Category:User bat-smg and Category:User bat-smg-3 (the only two existing at the time), again there would be no logical reason, based on the discussions, to exclude Category:User bat-smg-1, Category:User bat-smg-2, Category:User bat-smg-4, Category:User bat-smg-5, and Category:User bat-smg-N as well. Therefore, please disable both of these categories trees from being created. Ideally this bot should not have the permissions to recreate salted categories so someone wouldn't have to file a bug report each time a babel user category is deleted (admittedly rare, but as above you can tell it happens from time to time).
