Lua errors

Hi, your Module:Category series navigation in line 1894 calls Module:ConvertNumeric and it's "english_to_ordinal" function. Now that module does not have such function, which is causing issues at Template:Navseasoncats. Can you fix it, or should we just delete unused templates and modules.

Container cat template

Hi, Trade. I noticed this change you made, part of which added {{Container category}}. That template redirects to Template:CatCat. However, Category:Animated television series by topic is actually a metacat, so it should have the {{MetaCat}} template instead.

I fixed that one, as well as other metacats that used either {{Container cat}} or {{Container category}}. Please be careful about that. Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 20:42, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I saw that you used this template again where it should have been the MetaCat template. It saw it on these three categories:

• Category:Attacks by country
• Category:Attacks in Asia by country
• Category:Attacks by continent

I replaced the container template with the correct one, so you can see what's needed. Please use the correct template from now on. Thanks.

And in case you were wondering, I saw this because I watch Category:Categories requiring permanent diffusion to zero. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:22, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Any advice how i can keep it in mind so i dont forget about it? Trade (talk) 21:24, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) As I understand it, the key question to ask here is:

• Is the next level down a "thing" (e.g. Category:Transistors by model number is a catcat) or a further way of sorting things (the examples above)?

But I'll confess to sometimes being confused myself. @Auntof6: I see you changed Category:Categories of Ukraine by region from metacat to catcat. That was 7 years ago, so I'm not sure you even would do the same now, but if you think that was correct, can you tell me what I'm missing? - Jmabel ! talk 23:50, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

I really wish the names of templates used were consistent between Commons and ENWP. Would make things easier Trade (talk) 23:52, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

@Jmabel: Sure, and I would do the same now.

Most categories (maybe all, but I haven't checked) whose names start with "Categories of" are not metacats. In a metacat, subcats are grouped by something named in the metacat's own name. For example:

Rivers by country

Rivers of Afghanistan

Rivers of Belarus

etc.

Note that the metacat name includes "by country", and each subcat's name specifies a different country.

To be a metacat, your example category would need a structure like this:

Categories of Ukraine by region

Categories of Kyiv

Art of Kyiv

Geography of Kyiv

Categories of Lviv Oblast

Politics of Lviv Oblast

Society of Lviv Oblast

etc.

Here the metacat name includes "by region" and each subcat's name specifies a different region. (Category:Categories of regions of Ukraine pretty much has that kind of content, it's just not named/defined as a metacat.)

However, that's not what's in Category:Categories of Ukraine by region. The subcats there are categories of Ukraine that have "by region" in their name -- "Aircraft in Ukraine by region", "Potted plants in Ukraine by region", etc. Those are things grouped by region, but Category:Categories of Ukraine by region is not grouped by region.

I hope that makes sense. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:31, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

@Jmabel: One further note. In some cases, what makes a category a metacat depends on what's in it. My favorite example is the various "by name" categories we have. To be a metacat, a "by name" category would need to group things that have the same name. Most of them don't, for example Category:People by name. One that does is Category:Hotels by name, where each subcat is for any and all hotels that have the indicated name. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:38, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Read what I replied above to see if that helps. Feel free to ask more if you want. I have half a mind to propose eliminating the container templates to avoid this confusion. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:32, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Side issue

This got me looking at Category:Attacks in Asia by country. Trade, why Category:Attacks in Algeria ("in Asia"???)? And the other two categories here are each long, multi-category chains leading down to Category:June 2025 Israeli airstrikes on residential buildings in Iran, which is the only thing here that actually contains any files. What's the point of this much structure for this little content? - Jmabel ! talk 03:53, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
