Forum:SH:OMG why is my category gone?!?!?!

That snarky title is in response to what I'm sure some people will be wondering when they find out their "articles by" category no longer appears on their articles. It's still on your articles, but it's been hidden. Tonight, JM76's bot, Weeg, added Hidden to every category in Category:Articles by author (the ones that were already hidden now have two of those templates, so feel free to remove one so long as you leave the other). It's still there and your articles are still categorized in your "articles by" category. The category is just invisible from view.

The reason for this is because the new Manual of Style says that all "Articles by" and "Fan fiction by" categories "must be hidden using Hidden." This was voted upon by the community, though I'd be willing to guess a big chunk of the 20 people who voted didn't read the proposal and, therefore, have no idea about this.

Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. =) - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 08:54, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
