Any solution to this?
Did you ever figure out a solution, or have any other suggestions, to the problem we discussed at User talk:Mike Peel/Archive 59#Commons cats? ww2censor (talk) 12:13, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Ww2censor: I still think the obvious solution is to split the articles, but it sounds like that's a lot of debate away and a lot of work. So I've been getting on with the simpler cases instead for now (there are still quite a lot of them to tackle!). If you want to get rid of the red warning text, you could use {{Commons category multi}}, but that's just kicking it into the long grass for a bit. Thanks.

semi-automated edit concern
I saw this diff come up [1] which I think was triggered since the article page name did not match the Commons category name. However, the commons cat is clearly related to the page at had (its still about the game itself). A quick check of your contributions in the last hour show a mix of other similar removals that may be wrong, pages that aren't exactly the same name as the commons cat but which the commons cat would clearly be appropriate to include. Given the edit timings you're likely doing this semi-automated (AWB? not sure), but you may want to slow down and check that. --Masem (t) 20:46, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Masem: This is part of a long-term project to synchronise links between enwp and Commons via Wikidata. I'm using a Python/Pywikibot script to make the edits, but I'm checking them as I go. In this case, commons:Category:Fez (video game) should be linked from Fez (video game), but not from Development of Fez - if there was a Commons category that was for the development of the game, then it would make sense to link to that, but as it stands the Commons link is misplaced. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:00, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- As Masem points out, the Commons category is clearly related. Seeing closely related Commons categories saves the reader to find the related article and provides convenient quick access. I suggest the perceived need to have a strict 1-to-1 relationship between Commons categories and Wikipedia articles is restrictive and not in the interest of readers. If it were enforced, the {{Commons category}} might as well be deleted. Your proposal at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#RfC: What to do with category links to Commons? was restricted to categories, but you now enforce this on articles. Where was this discussed? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:23, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- There was an RfC at Category talk:Commons category Wikidata tracking categories. I don't think that the links I'm removing are useful to readers, hence why I'm removing them. Always happy to discuss individual examples if you want. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:19, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- And that RfC ended inconclusive. The authors of articles who put those Commons categories into closely related articles obviously think they are useful. Those articles often started as splits from their main articles, which demonstrates their relevance. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:49, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
