Categories

The permissibility of redlinks is limited to potential articles being linked in body text. Redlinked categories are not acceptable, per WP:REDNOT. Bearcat (talk) 15:35, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

This is a misreading of what definite article "the" is referring to from Help:Category referenced here: [t]he category itself is permanently created as soon as it has been saved on to any page. Unless you create a category page, it will display as a red link. Unless you add another category to the category page, it will not be placed in the category tree. Category pages are created like any other page. Most commonly, editors click on the redlink in an article and create the category page that way, and while I can appreciate the policy being linked, the best one would be WP:CATREDLINK. The category redlink is meant to be used by the category creator in a fashion more strict than article redlink with other members of its category being likely to exist considered insufficient.

Abraham Accords

Afternoon. I'm pinging you because you seem active on Abraham Accords, and I don't have the rights on this project to edit it.

In the lede, we write:

The name "Abraham Accords" was chosen to reflect the shared heritage of the Abrahamic religions—Judaism and Islam.

The Accords declaration, cited after the passage, states:

We encourage efforts to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue to advance a culture of peace among the three Abrahamic religions and all humanity.

I think we should match this by adding all three religions (in alphabetical order):

The name "Abraham Accords" was chosen to reflect the shared heritage of the Abrahamic religions—Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

Could you do that? Cheers!

For clarity I am just extended confirmed and there is not any WP:WikiProject. However it's good that you have used an on-site process, so it's actionable on my part and not canvassing. Also, I can see you're new, this is the lead, not lede. As for the faultiness of the old state it's a simple matter of WP:V but having the excerpt here is a bonus.

Thanks for the help! By project, I meant WP:EN – I'm most active at WT:EN. I wasn't aware of a ban on "canvassing" here, and I'm sorry if I bent the rules. Brittletheories (talk) 18:59, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Okay. Just to go farther into it, there was not identifiably an on-going "discussion" or dispute to be resolved. I took the most universalizable (and levied accusation, in my experience) prong of wp:canvassing and refuted that it was occurring. Whether permissions themselves are considered "consensus" I highly doubt. And so, actionable on my part did not mean impuning your actions. Also, I commend you for trying to bridge the gap between the sister projects. While Wikipedia has both the spirit and the letter of the law, Wiktionarians only have the letter and yet don't appear to appreciate that fact. Lumbering in thought (talk) 23:43, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
