Sorry, I know I must be seeming really disagreeable over the past few days, but I'm actually going to oppose this. When an article is created without a category, it's usually the job of someone more familiar with the wiki and the existing categories to add one. An Other category can always be a fallback for particularly difficult pages, but I don't think we should delete useful articles simply because we don't know where to put them (like B.O.B., although we kind of proposed a category for that and other things like cauldrons and Chuffy, but have yet to create it). Granted, a few of those uncategorized pages aren't very useful at all and could probably be deleted. I probably just didn't bother adding the template when I saw them because it was kind of obvious. {{User:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | |||

I have noticed that many articles don't have a category. I think they should be deleted in a certain amount of time. Like the article's maker will be notified and asked to add a category in about 3 days. If the category is not added, the article will be deleted. I know there are little active users here. I think, this week should be dedicated to adding categories to articles. I think that if this proposal goes ahead, NEW articles made after this proposal goes ahead (if it does) will be deleted if it has no category after 3 days. Ones made before the proposal goes ahead, won't be deleted and should be fixed up by this community.

This proposal will start from the 5th of July to the 11th of July.
