Bug ID: 61995 Summary: Babel AutoCreate should not recreate deleted categories Product: MediaWiki extensions Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: Babel Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: stradb...@gmail.com CC: asha...@wikimedia.org, robinp.1...@gmail.com, run...@gmail.com, siebr...@wikimedia.org Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: --- I deleted [[Category:User Yi]] from enwiki on 26 February, as it was a duplicate of [[Category:User yi]]. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Category%3AUser+Yi However, Babel AutoCreate recreated the category on 27 February, despite me having fixed the broken #babel invocation that led to it being created: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:User_Yi&action=history https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:%D7%97%D7%95%D7%91%D7%91%D7%94%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%98%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%94&diff=prev&oldid=597224662 If an admin has deleted a category that can be used by Babel, it probably should not be recreated. There is likely a good reason for such deletions, and recreation might need to be discussed. Instead of recreation, I recommend getting Babel AutoCreate to log these events on its user page or on a user subpage so that a human can check them. I have blocked [[User:Babel AutoCreate]] on enwiki, partly for this issue, but mostly because it was creating categories with the wrong capitalisation. (See bug 61993 and bug 61994 for more on that.) If there's a better way of doing this than blocking, let me know and I'll be happy to unblock the account. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
