Fix category bug
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If template's category has been set using the category bar each page which use the template inherit that category.
The proper way of assigning categories is writing Category: ... INSIDE the <noinclude> tag. However bad categorized templates present no way for fixing the bug.
This is the reason why in meta site under official templates there are also Sprints/CERN 2016
Sprints/CERN 2016/Schedule

It's not really a bug, but the wat mediawiki works. @liguorisofia if "bad categorized templates" means those ones with no [[Category:...]] inside <noinclude> tag, then I think we should change them now by hand or with a simple find and replace. Is it what you're referring to?

The fact is that when you fix it by hand (i've already done it) nothing changes. There's a sort of memory of previous bad categorization

It seems that if you enter templates in this


everything goes wrong and leaves templates in "bad categorized" status (i.e. it shows the problem written above). I think the only solution is to remove categories from the input form and include them inside the <noinclude>
