'''Note: This proposal did not go ahead. If you have any comments, leave it on the discussion page. Thankyou.''' | |||
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.

#I must '''oppose''' as well. Though I don't actually post here a lot of new users don't know categories exist. When I first started editing pages I had no idea categories were available let alone know where to find them. It's really the job of established members who know where everything is to come by and say "''Hey that could be categorized here''". Deleting pages is never a good idea unless they're simply vandalism. Especially when they're added with the intent of expanding this Wikia. Talk pages are there to get users to discuss where a page might be categorized and we should use them. – [[User:Morder|Morder]] 10:10, 9 July 2008 (UTC) | #I must '''oppose''' as well.

#I am really annoyed too when there are heaps of uncategorized pages. Don't worry, I feel your pain.

#I really find it funny that I am opposing this myself. Due to new comments that have got me thinking, I will vote oppose.
