A navigation question for Wiki Admins, please...

[AK9R]

The columns have been swapped and some instructions added above the table.

Looks good!

I believe you are headed down the right path. I think organizing along the lines of hierarchical categories is a good idea.

Sounds good, thanks.

• For uniformity, we will do as ibagli is doing and remove the region-category when applying the state-category to the individual articles.
  • This will eventually cause the comprehensive list to disappear, leaving a dynamically-generated list of only subcategories in the bottom half of the region page.
• I will update the ones done thus far before continuing to new ones.
• A table of links will be used in the upper-portion of the Region-page, (at least until all the recategorizing effort is complete).
• After a Region's recategorization is complete, the instructions on the Region-page will be updated so they make no reference to a comprehensive list.

Thanks again for the advice and assistance. If I misunderstood anything, I apologize, I have been focused on a different situation.

Have a good evening,

If you wish to include the articles on regional programming in your design, that's fine - but please leave the original category there. It is being used to house special techniques necessary for trunking some systems, and makes it a whole lot easier to find.

I added the needed category statement to the Trunktrackers and Stars article, as an example. If you take a look at the category listing, you'll see how useful it can be.

Thanks...Mike

As far as I know, I have been exchanging only the seven regional categories (Pacific, Intermountain, Great Plains, Midwest, Southern, Mid Atlantic, and New England) for the applicable state-sub-categories, and adding state-sub-categories to pages missing them. I have tried to leave all other categories in-place.

If I deleted a "Category:Regional Programming" tag, it was by mistake. Even though I hadn't checked out that category page until just now, I was guessing it was a special-grouping that I should not change. It looks like it could be useful in a variety of ways.

Thanks for the clarification about its use, and for replacing the deleted tag,

Wiki Admins, assistance requested

Good afternoon Wiki Admins,

I might be having a brain-cramp, and this might have a simple solution, but at the bottom of the Categoryrovince Data page, please notice links to the following eight Wiki articles:

• AFRRCS
• Durham Region (redirect)
• London Fire Department
• Mobile Business Communications (LTR) A (ON)
• Mobile Business Communications (LTR) B (ON)
• Peel County (ON)
• Toronto County (ON)
• Toronto Hydro & Public Works

After assigning each of these articles to a sub-category, I removed their [Categoryrovince Data] tags. As a result, the "Province Data" category is no longer listed as it was formerly in each page's footer section. Yet, for some unknown reason, the articles remain listed on the "Province Data" category page. I have checked each article's Wiki code and have not found a statement that would assign this category to those pages.

Would you please investigate this and advise me on how best to resolve this, so that these pages will no longer list in this category. As mentioned before, each has been assigned to one of Categoryrovince Data's sub-categories.

These eight are the only Wiki articles for which I could not fully reassign/remove a category.

Thank you for your time and assistance,

Those articles all had redirects pointing to them, and the Province Data category was on the redirect page and not the article.

Thanks

Excellent. Thank you for taking care of those. I suspected redirect-pages were somehow involved. I still have a lot to learn about Wiki code and various things that can be hidden.

Thanks again,
