Edit request

[edit]

{{Edit request}} Please change __HIDDENCAT__ to {{Hiddencat}}

This displays a Info box for the readers that this Category is hidden. (Hiding something is one thing, but hiding that it's hidden is more and I think against our transparency and difficult for next editors or readers.

@Strakhov: I think this request is correct. I don't know if you could edit the template. Saludos Shooke (Talk me in spanish, english or italian) 22:25, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@W like wiki and Shooke: I solved it in a different way. It now displays why it's hidden. Multichill (talk) 17:01, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Intended use

[edit]

@Multichill: while I think I understand what the template is used for, could you please add a brief description or something to elaborate on its intended use? Just to confirm, it is for hiding categories that categorize files by source (= non-topical), right? HyperGaruda (talk) 07:09, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll update the template and the documentation. That probably takes care of the previous topic too. Multichill (talk) 21:18, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
