Question from Kiera Roche on User:Kiera Roche/sandbox (06:19, 19 December 2021)
Hi, i have created a page for the charity I run. How do I publish it to Wikipedia for other people to see?

- @Kiera Roche: You place
{{subst:submit}}at the top of your page, and then it will be reviewed (which may take up to 3 months). ― Qwerfjkltalk 09:29, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
Empty categories
Hello, Qwerfjkl,
Thank you so much for tagging the empty categories! For years, I did this task every morning (U.S. time) but lately I've been getting to it later and later in the day and I didn't do it at all yesterday so today's list was twice as long. It's good that there is more than one person who checks this list. Typically, there are between 10-20 categories each day but it can get into the hundreds depending on what pages have been deleted so extra help is always welcome. It doesn't take a lot of time to do, but it's good to stay on top of so things don't pile up.
There are a few editors who create most of our categories who have asked not to be notified when a category they created has become empty and I can relay this information to you if you pick this up as a regular task and add it to your already crowded list of things you tend to on Wikipedia. Thanks again! Liz Read! Talk! 23:09, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- No problem! I intend to keep patrolling Special:UnusedCategories, so a list of editors not to notify would be great. Thanks! ― Qwerfjkltalk 12:37, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Pinging @Liz. (Or Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories.) ― Qwerfjkltalk 07:19, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll start thinking about that list. By the way, User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/unusedCategories.js is classified as an empty category so you might want to add in a colon somewhere on the page so that it isn't tagged for deletion. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 23:41, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, and yes, Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories is the page I use as it is compiled nightly (at least it's night for me) while Special:UnusedCategories is only compiled every 3 days. But, Special:UnusedCategories does have empty maintenance categories which for some reason are omitted on the Database report so that is a useful feature. Liz Read! Talk! 23:44, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- I have a comment about this that I'd prefer to email you but you don't have email enabled. So..... Liz Read! Talk! 17:35, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Liz: Just enabled it (I thought I already had). ― Qwerfjkltalk 17:37, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- You got mail! Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 20:16, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- Sadly I can't access my email on my.mobile device, so I'll read it tomorrow. ― Qwerfjkltalk 20:21, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Why NO BOTS
Hi, why did you add "NO BOTS"[3] after listing Category:Hexadecimal color redirects for renaming? It does not appear to be populated by a template. May I remove this code on WP:CFDW so that a bot will process the task? – Fayenatic London 12:18, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london: Okay. ― Qwerfjkltalk 12:40, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london: Shouldn't the category be at Category:Redirects from hexadecimal colors, not Category:Redirects from hexadecimal color ? ― Qwerfjkltalk 13:17, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- Agreed, other categories of "Redirects from..." take a plural at the end of the name. I'll process that as remedial work. (WP:G6) – Fayenatic London 16:03, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
