Category talk:Japanese-language surnames

Damage to navigation

Where are all the surnames formerly in the "Japanese surnames" category? They should have been moved here rather than leaving only three (!) Everything we do must have our users foremost in our minds and a hasty, poorly thought out category deletion against consensus, without actually taking the time to move the articles to a new category, is akin to encyclopedic malpractice. Please do your legwork in the future rather than leaving editors to pick up the pieces by hand. Badagnani (talk) 08:54, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

It's in process. When the categories were originally deleted, there was no consensus what they would be named to, which is why they weren't automatically transferred. Feel free to participate in the process rather than stubbornly re-creating Category:Japanese surnames again. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 09:28, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

There's no excuse. Forcing our users to spend even a single day searching for Asian surname articles through 10,000+ surnames in the "Surnames" category was wrong. Please don't do this again. Badagnani (talk) 09:41, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

It's time to get over it and start participating in consensus-building. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 10:44, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Again, please don't do this again. The situation of having three Japanese-language surnames in this category is highly improper and reflects poorly on our encyclopedia, something truly to be ashamed of. We must keep our users foremost in our minds with each edit we make. Kindly fix this situation immediately. Badagnani (talk) 11:36, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
