Hi, I have started a discussion to rename a large collection of categories, one or more of which you may have created or edited.

Automagic interactive maps on list pages

Hi, please take a look at List of covered bridges in New Brunswick. There you'll see that I have implemented a mapping template to create a map of the objects in the page. You might consider implementing something similar on some of the geographic lists that I see you've been editing. Any questions let me know on my talk page. --Cornellier (talk) 15:34, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you -- I will definitely add it to the United States lists with coordinates. I've been attempting to make that set of articles more consistent while adding any information I could find. I wondered whether people were reading those lists, or the "pageviews" were just a result of my edits! Waz⁸:T-C-E 16:28, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Great, have fun! As well as adding the template to the page, you'll need to add the name parameter to the actual coordinate. Just take a look at the covered bridge page, it's pretty self-explanatory. --Cornellier (talk) 17:20, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Dog userboxes

Hey, can I trouble you to make some more dog userboxes? One for fostering rescue dogs (Adopt me!) AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:39, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Sure, would you like one with a counter or just something that says you foster? Waz⁸:T-C-E 01:17, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Just one that says foster. I've lost count how many of them have actually been adopted. :) AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:42, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Take a look at User:Waz8/Userboxes/Dogs fostered. If you provide a number, it will use that; otherwise, it shows, "Adopt me!". Let me know if you want me to change anything. Thank you for being a foster "parent"! Waz⁸:T-C-E 16:46, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Can there be one for "is fostering" and "has fostered"? The former would be ones that are available and the second would be for ones that have been adopted, like "helped X dogs find their forever home". Thanks! AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:52, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

How does User:Waz8/Userboxes/Dogs fostering look? Waz⁸:T-C-E 17:10, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Looks good :) Thanks for making them. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:06, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome -- thanks for adding them to the dog-related userbox list! Waz⁸:T-C-E 22:51, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

It can be deleted immediately. While it had served a purpose, all content has been moved, and the category is no longer useful. The same rationale is applicable to Category:Triple-A East ballparks. Thanks for letting me know! Waz⁸:T-C-E 19:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Templates should not be put into content categories

Hello Waz8. Thank you for working on creating categories for team roster templates. Per WP:CAT#T guideline, content categories should not be used for categorizing templates, like you did recently, for example in Category:Current Midwest League team rosters templates. Categorization of templates is done via administrative categories only. Please consider putting wikilinks to related content categories on the template category page instead, for example, in form of a hatnote. —⁠andrybak (talk) 23:38, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

OK, I see what you mean -- I'll start using hatnotes instead. I just checked the other template categories that I recently created, and it appears that you've already fixed them. Thanks for letting me know about this! Waz⁸:T-C-E 01:17, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion.

Bruxton (talk) 03:22, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

@Bruxton: There's a corresponding list for each U.S. state in which covered bridges exist. The numbers per state vary from over 100 to a just few, but there is currently only one in this state. I created the article to complete the set. Waz⁸:T-C-E 03:38, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

It is possible that an article for the bridge would work if it is notable with significant coverage, but not a list article in my opinion. Soon we will see what others say, but you can likely merge info to an article about the bridge in case of deletion. Bruxton (talk) 03:42, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

So being part of a larger group having a corresponding list for each state is irrelevant? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but you seem to be implying that only states with a "significant" number of bridges should have lists? Waz⁸:T-C-E 04:28, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
