Fictitious template[edit]
The template imparts "Category:Maps of fictional places or locations to all files it gets placed in. However, that category is a super-category to Category:Maps of fictional Earth which is parent of Category:Maps of alternate histories which contains Category:Maps of The Man in the High Castle alternate history. That makes the template-imparted category highly redundant, and unnecessarily moves every file with the template into clogging that higher category. If you find that template so useful for fictional maps, then carefully check every other file with that template, move it to the correct sub-category individually, and finally remove the template-forced supercategory from the template. --Enyavar (talk) 08:03, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
- I support removing this automated categorisation. It is a topical category (which I understand as relating to what is depicted) and topical categories should not be included through templates, as per COM:Categories#Major categories. --HyperGaruda (talk) 04:30, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
- "{{Fictitious map|nocat}}" removes all forced categories. I changed all transclusions of the template and checked that an appropriate "fictional" category was set. --Enyavar (talk) 12:59, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- The argument
|nocatgenerates the transclusion of "[[Category:]]". @Enyavar: Maybe try again? -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 17:13, 12 August 2023 (UTC)- I was good with it so far. Was there a recent case here or did something change? Afaik the nocat-Tag still removes the transclusion of forced categorization, instead of generating it. Enyavar (talk) 21:20, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
