Category talk:ParserComp

This is the talk page for. See How to edit IFWiki to find out about using talk pages, and editing the wiki generally.

This page is out of whack. It evidently requires an admin to fix.

Please check it out.

Thanks, fos1

It would help if you could be more specific about what you saw that was wrong versus what you expected to see.

If you mean that the years are (were) out of order: that was caused by my adding a 'sort key' of '2024' to the ParserComp 2024 page as part of this edit (the relevant bit of markup is [[Category:ParserComp|2024]]), without checking whether the other Parsercomp pages also used this convention. So ParserComp 2024 sorted under '2', where the other ones still sorted later, under 'P'.

I've now fixed this (by adding sortkeys to the other pages).

(This doesn't require an admin to fix, any editor could have done it, but it does require an understanding of how Category pages' contents are influenced by their constituent pages.)

Thank you for fixing this issue. I guess I need to study Category Page editing.

What's the benefit of adding the sort key, in this case? Jonathan (talk) 21:04, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Not a lot in this case, admittedly (at least until we've had 1,976 more years of ParserComp). Just a habit to elide Foo from all the Foo pages in Category:Foo so they don't all end up sorted under F. -- JTN (talk) 22:21, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
