Re: Category:30 Rock (season 1) episodes through Category:30 Rock (season 7) episodes, please:

1. move all the pages categorized in the old category to the new category
2. leave redirects from the old to the new

Thanks.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  14:19, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1. This is what I've done, yes, example.
2. Is there a need for redirects?

Why are redirects needed? They just pollute the search results when I'm searching for incorrect titles. Any fix should not be based on the old style. Gonnym (talk) 15:25, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no more links to the old cats, then I suppose they can be deleted, but that is a rare occurrence from what I've seen, and at the very least take some work to accomplish. Also, leaving #Rs is more user-friendly for those not aware of the transition.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  15:51, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Cat-a-lot: if you move too quickly between categories, it will skip over pages with no warning. You need to refresh the old category after a Cat-a-lot move to confirm that the old cat is emptied. 57 pages were not moved from seasons 3, 4, 5, 6.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  16:05, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the list to CfD speedy requests. Don't waste your time manually doing this when a bot can do this in two days (or sooner if the admins there decide). Gonnym (talk) 16:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I didn't realize that there were pages skipped, my bad. -- Alex_21 _TALK 22:55, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me rename my article. I would like to move the article Backrooms (web series) to Backrooms. Is there a way to move it to that title in a way that I’m still credited as the page creator. A couple of my articles last year were moved to redirect pages and because of that, I am no longer credited as their page creator. The person who made the redirects are now credited as page creator. The reason I want to change the title is because there are no articles in main space with the title “Backrooms”, I don’t think my article should need “(web series)” if there are no other articles with that title. If you can help I would really appreciate it. Key limes (talk) 02:49, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Key limes Backrooms is an undisambiguated title, and should redirect to Back room (a disambiguation page), while Backrooms (web series) should stay where it is. Whoever is credited as "page creator" is really irrelevant, as Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. -- Alex_21 _TALK 04:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thanks for creating Empire of Death (Doctor Who). I notice that Empire of Death redirects there. There are two other uses for disambiguation:

• List of criminal organizations in DC Comics#Empire of Death
• Paul Koudounaris#The Empire of Death

Do you think we might pull the four entries into a disambiguation page at Empire of Death, rather than a set index? Or should the set index be a third entry in the dab page instead? Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 08:51, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikishovel Absolutely, I wasn't aware of those two situations, so thank you for bringing them up. I'll convert the whole thing to a disambig page. -- Alex_21 _TALK 09:24, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
