Moves

[edit]

Hi, HingWahStreet. How are you doing? I see that you made a huge amount of move requests for buses. The moves seem to be straightforward and not controversial at all, as there's an obvious mistake. However, is there any reason why you can't do the moves yourself? You would have to move the category using the tool on the right-hand side of your screen and then (once the move is done and all the files moved to the new category) replace {{Category redirect}} with {{Bad name}}, as there's no need to preserve the redirects. If you have any doubts, you can ask me. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 08:59, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is, I would have to create categories with correct names and redirect all pages to the correct ones, and finally delete the wrong ones with a typo.
I'll do that. 興華街 (Hing Wah Street) - 💬 - 📝 14:13, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. Well, not exactly. On the right-hand side of your screen, you'll find a link that says "Move". You click there and then you type the new name of the category, the correct one. Thus, the category will be renamed properly. If you don't know how to do it, you can ask me for further instructions. Once you've done that, then you can move the files in it and use {{Bad name}} to indicate that the category is no longer needed. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 14:31, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK 興華街 (Hing Wah Street) - 💬 - 📝 14:32, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, exactly, the way you are doing it now. Once you've done that, you have to reallocate the files. Do you know how to use Cat-a-lot? It's very useful. You can find instructions here. Alavense (talk) 14:38, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes 興華街 (Hing Wah Street) - 💬 - 📝 14:38, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, then, perfect. Once you've emptied the category with the wrong name and all the files are in the correct category, the one without the typo, you can ask for the deletion of the old one replacing {{Category redirect}} with {{Bad name}}. But only when it's empty. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 14:40, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"CATEGORIES MUST BE NAMED IN ENGLISH"

[edit]

That is not correct. Please read COM:C.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:27, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. It should be "CATEGORIES SHOULD NOT BE NAMED IN BILLINGUAL" (unless necessary).
Per COM:C: Category names should generally be in English. 興華街 (Hing Wah Street) - 💬 - 📝 02:26, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The category you cited is with a bad name that can be searched for on Commons. Or I can replace that with {{Bad name}} for that category.
Previously I made ~750 deletion requests to the categories about buildings in Hong Kong that were named in BOTH English and Chinese (some with addresses simultaneously) and were redirected to a concisely-named category with either {{SD}} and {{Bad name}} without any problems and those badly-named categories were later deleted as normal. Why you regarding these edits as vandalism? 興華街 (Hing Wah Street) - 💬 - 📝 03:09, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
These are not normal deletion requests, they are speedy deletion requests with invalid criteria, with removal of the category redirects (categories containing such are normally empty), with no summaries, and marked as minor. What you are doing is vandalism.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 03:37, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If replacing {{SD}} with {{Bad name}} would be an appropriate criteria for deletion, this would not be vandalism. 興華街 (Hing Wah Street) - 💬 - 📝 03:48, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
{{Bad name}} requires "Name of the correct category" and is related to COM:CSD#C1, not COM:CSD#C2.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 03:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The "Name of the correct category" for the categories redirected are all related to COM:CSD#C1. C2 was a reason that I used wrongly in my previous requests (sorry for that). The deletion requests are all targeted for categories that were named in BOTH English and Chinese by someone with multiple usernames, which I moved to a properly-named category which I then removed them with {{Bad name}}. As such, category names should generally be in English. 興華街 (Hing Wah Street) - 💬 - 📝 04:06, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The removal is the problem. Have you read policy COM:CATRED?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 04:08, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. I'll stop. 興華街 (Hing Wah Street) - 💬 - 📝 04:11, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is, should the aforementioned categories named like "Wing Cheung Industrial Building, No.58-70 Kwai Cheong Road 永祥工業大廈" and "Wing Tak Building, No.9-11 Waterloo Road Yau Ma Tei 榮德大廈" be retained as redirects. 興華街 (Hing Wah Street) - 💬 - 📝 05:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:22, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
