About your edit request on Template talk:Topic of country

Thanks for your edit request on Template talk:Topic of country for changing the "diffuseat" parameter. I did not know it works this way. I'll make a note in the CFD. JopkeB (talk) 04:49, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

@JopkeB: You're welcome. There are still the other tasks for that CFD marked as assigned to Joshbaumgartner, such as the one to replace {{CatDiffuse}}. -- Auntof6 (talk) 05:26, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I know, but it turns out that I have misinterpreted his contribution, he is not someone who makes bots, so I have to invent other solutions and remove his name from the assigned tasks. It is on my to-do list. JopkeB (talk) 08:34, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

I'd love to be that skilled, but unfortunately templates and a few .js tweaks are about as far as my old brain will carry me. That said, I have gone ahead and made the requested edit to {{Topic of country}}. If there are any others requiring similar attention, let me know. Josh (talk) 22:50, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

@JopkeB @Joshbaumgartner: Also, I see that there are 1,733 categories using {{Diffusion by condition}} with a count of 50 specified. Those should be changed as well, best by just removing the count parameter altogether. An example is Category:Archaeologists from Ukraine. -- Auntof6 (talk) 03:04, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

In the case of Archaeologists from Ukraine, the '50' has been added at the category level directly. I think we still want to allow editors to set specific limits for individual categories vs. forcing a mandated number on all categories no matter what. It has been a bit since I dug into that discussion, but my recollection is that we wanted to reset the defaults to 200, but still allow other numbers to be selected. I could have misread things though, @JopkeB might know better. I'm not sure I am really clear on exactly why having 50 instead of 200 is a problem...clogging the maintenance categories maybe? Josh (talk) 03:19, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Fair point. It clogs the categories, yes, but also, 50 just seems too low. However, I guess that wasn't the point of the CFD. Some categories are just going to have a lot of files because there's no good way of diffusing them. For example, I'm working on diffusing Category:Men with beards, but there are still thousands of files in it. -- Auntof6 (talk) 03:33, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

I agree with Josh, he wrote in the discussion: "Obviously, there are a lot of categories where 200 is too high a number, but those can be set by users in those topics as needed." and I agree, this was not an issue. So my suggestion is to leave {{Diffusion by condition}} as it is. JopkeB (talk) 04:33, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Category:Pages using Occupation template with incorrect parameters

Hello, trying to help with cleanup in that category I think the majority of the cases is caused by instances of {{Creator}} giving Dutch rather than English keywords for the creators' occupation from a GWToolset Batch Upload of Rijksmuseum Amsterdam objects (?) of yours. I'd be very happy if we could find a way to clean this up. Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance, --Marsupium (talk) 17:43, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

@Marsupium: I've never done a batch upload of anything. However, I just looked at:

1. this file, which has the error
2. this file, which does not have the error

The difference I see is that the first one includes the nationality and occupation templates in the artist parameter. Maybe those shouldn't be specified with this kind of artist. -- Auntof6 (talk) 22:49, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

"rem template that's only for metacats"

Have you considered the possibility that {{By quantity}} shouldn't include the {{MetaCat}} template? In fact, navigation templates should never automatically include {{MetaCat}}. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 03:41, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

@DanielPenfield: There are two types of categories I see using this template.

1. Categories with names like "Foo by quantity": these are metacats and need the metacat template one way or another
2. Categories with names like "4 foos": these are not metacats. I'm replacing the necessary code with better templates for defining these.

I'd be happy to have the metacat template added explicitly on the actual metacats (instead of being added by a template), but that would require also changing the categories of type 1 and that's not in the scope of what I'm currently doing. Are you thinking that just removing the metacat template from {{By quantity}} would make it useable for the categories of type 2? It seems to me that more would be needed. -- Auntof6 (talk) 03:51, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Your statement	My response
"There are two types of categories I see using this template. 1. Categories with names like "Foo by quantity": these are metacats and need the metacat template one way or another	Have you thought that through? There really shouldn't be "categories of type 1" as nobody should ever place a navigation template on a MetaCat as the primary key for the MetaCat is the navigation--MetaCats do not need additional navigation beyond the primary key.
"Categories with names like "4 foos": these are not metacats. I'm replacing the necessary code with better templates for defining these."	Actually, you're deleting them outright: [1], [2], [3]. I see no evidence of your "replacing" claim.
"Are you thinking that just removing the metacat template from {{By quantity}} would make it useable for the categories of type 2?"	No, I'm stating that nobody should use navigational templates on {{MetaCat}}s as the primary key for the MetaCat is the navigation--MetaCats do not need additional navigation beyond the primary key.
