I don't appear to have reverted any of Bulimba12345's edits, but I did revert two edits by BulimbaGeek45 in 2023-11. This may be evidence of WP:Sockpuppetry. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:54, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it's nice to meet you. I see that you've been removing "Spiders of New Zealand" categories from NZ spider articles when the "Endemic spiders of New Zealand" category is present. I don't quite understand the rationale behind this (I am still a novice, so perhaps I am missing something).

My understanding is that you're removing this because endemic spiders is already a subcategory of the NZ spiders category. However, my concern is that this prevents a single list of all NZ spiders from being created because some of the species are separated out into a different subcategory, and thus are on a different list.

In the mean time, I'll proceed using just one of the categories.

My understanding is that you're removing this because endemic spiders is already a subcategory of the NZ spiders category. — Correct. Per WP:CATSPECIFIC "if a page belongs to a subcategory [Endemic spiders of New Zealand] of C [Spiders of New Zealand] then it is not normally placed directly into C [Spiders of New Zealand]".

my concern is that this prevents a single list of all NZ spiders from being created because some of the species are separated out into a different subcategory — Breaking down large sets of articles into sub-categories is an intended feature of the category system - see WP:DIFFUSE. There are (at least) two ways to achieve what you want, not necessarily mutually exclusive:

1. Create a list article, "List of spiders of New Zealand". (See also Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates.)
2. Declare Category:Spiders of New Zealand to be {{All included}}, and Category:Endemic spiders of New Zealand to be a {{Non-diffusing subcategory}}. See Wikipedia:Categorization § Non-diffusing subcategories. Personally, I don't think this is necessary.

Thanks Mitch, that's clear to me now. I'll create a spiders of NZ list once all species have pages on Wikipedia. AxonsArachnida (talk) 02:20, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have patience ... There is no deadline and several reasons why I don't respond in less than four hours. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:33, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
