Please read this before posting about User:RussBot: If the bot moved pages out of one category into another one, it did so because the first category contains a {{Category redirect}} template. The bot did not put that template there; a Commons user did. The bot does not create any category redirects, nor does it have any way of determining whether they are correct or not; that has to be done by humans. If you think the first page should not be a redirect, or should be redirected to some other target, you can either change it yourself, discuss it with the user who put the template there in the first place, or raise the issue through the Commons:Categories for discussion process.

Seems Category:Photographs by the Federal Senate of Brazil might take some time, despite help from others. Enhancing999 (talk) 12:55, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. Enhancing999 (talk) 12:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Suppression of a not redundant category

Hello. Recently User:RussBot suppressed from the page "Category:Jean Senebier‎" and two other pages the category « birth in Geneva », probably assuming that the category « birth in the Republic of Geneva » was a subcategory of it. But this is not so (or should not be so). None of these two categories is redundant. Geneva is a city in which one could be born from its existence until now, and the Republic of Geneva is a former state, consisting as well of other localities than the city of Geneva itself, in which one could be born in a limited period of history. I reverted these suppressions. Sapphorain (talk) 12:16, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I do not understand what you mean by "suppressed". The bot does not suppress anything. Did you read the highlighted notice at the top of this page? --R'n'B (talk) 12:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I read the notice and suppressed the appropriate redirection. Thanks. --Sapphorain (talk) 16:35, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Hiddencat normalization

If you are interested, you could include Commons:Bots/Work_requests#Hidden_categories_added_as_Category:Hidden_categories in the daily run of the bot (replace [[Category:Hidden categories]] with __HIDDENCAT__) ?

Postcards

Hello R'n'B, thanks for your work with RussBot. Your bot added unsorted postcards to the Category:Postcards. This is helpful, but it is possible to change the target. Can your bot put this postcards to the Category:Unsorted postcards? This is our working-category. We, the helper of Commons:WikiProject Postcards, will try to sort these postcards from this category into the best possible categories at the next opportunity. Thanks --sk (talk) 15:31, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

To prevent this from happening in the future, the target of the redirect on Category:Carte postale should be changed. --R'n'B (talk) 19:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Ok, with this information, I'd rather leave everything as it is. It's not that important. Thanks --sk (talk) 21:37, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
