Forum:Subcat

Blottobot and I recently got through removing the {{subcat}} template from Uncyclopedia. We did this because the software automatically lists subcategories before everything else in a category, so having a template to do just that is redundant, and it also removes the automatic alphabetical ordering of subcategories, which you can see here (without alphabetical ordering, with subcat used in the subcats) and here (without subcat).

And now I find out that subcat is also in use here, where our mediawiki is just as up to date, and this isn't making me happy. I'd like to propose that we remove it from here too for the reasons I've just outlined. What do you say?  Flyingcat (meow?)fr: 19:16, 21 Farbleum 2014 (UTC)

I say fine, but then... I'm an ignoramus. LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png 19:37, 21 Farbleum 2014 (UTC)
So then is it ok if I go around and get rid of them with AWB? I think you'll have to add my name to here first, though, and possibly I should have a bot to do it with so I don't spam up recent changes.  Flyingcat (meow?)fr: 02:41, 22 Farbleum 2014 (UTC)
So, what would that entail? Copying the CheckPage from Encyc to here and edit for this wiki? Unsure how to proceed. LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png 02:50, 22 Farbleum 2014 (UTC)
I think you'd put this on the page:

==Users== ===Approved bots=== ===Approved users=== *Flyingcat

I suppose I could instead, since I doubt the page is actually protected, but that seems wrong.  Flyingcat (meow?)fr: 02:55, 22 Farbleum 2014 (UTC)
Being a wiki code simpleton, I say more power to you... and whatever you're doing. Cheers! LAR Adriator-Gruntled.png 19:07, 2 Arche 2014 (UTC)
