Disputatio Categoriae:Officia Vicipaediae neglecta
What are "officia" in this sense? The example doesn't help me because it isn't really anyone's duty to create or edit a "Translatio hebdomadalis" page.
- If it hasn't been created, it can't be categorized.
- If it has been created, it then does not differ in principle from any other of our 130,000 pages. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 08:45, 30 Augusti 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, maybe I see it now. You put it on the formula itself, is that right? And it adds the formula to the category? Or it adds the "pagina prima" to the category? (A similar formula could go on about 95% of project pages at en:wiki -- and the en:wiki newsletter "Signpost" has been neglected for many months sometimes.) I'm a bit doubtful whether those who have undertaken repetitive tasks (I am one of those) would be grateful for a notice that a "duty" has been "neglected". We do our best, but real life intervenes. Also, not all repetitive tasks work in the same way: in the case of the "Pagina mensis" there is no single formula that is edited every month; in the case of the "Pagina cottidiana" there is, and as far as I can think, since the current editor took over the task, it hasn't been neglected for a single day!
- Maybe others have a view. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 09:18, 30 Augusti 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Andrew. Your doubts make sense, but as you correctly guessed {{Translatio hebdomadalis}} will appear here automatically if not edited for more then seven days. In my opinion the purpose of this category is not that of "stressing" who already does repetitive tasks, but on the contrary that of easing the burden: if one of these editors who normally does repetitive tasks forgets/cannot intervene, then another editor can easily take over. Other repetitive pages/formulae can have the same automatic reminder installed too. --Grufo (disputatio) 13:40, 30 Augusti 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, I see how it could be useful. Thanks for your reply. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 13:46, 30 Augusti 2023 (UTC)
