Got a spare minute? The Archives need some love. See the to-do list to find a way to help.
If you upload a new image make sure you name and categorize it properly. If in doubt, ask an admin or see our FAQ page.

There is no reason to move the categories, that just wastes edits, and don't fight me on what things belong and what don't, I am currently the highest authority that is working on the archives, I know what to do more than you. Moldy orange 18:59, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Quit wasting edits!

moving the categories from the summary to the end is USELESS!! they would still appear where-ever they are on the page, so stop forcing server stress by virtually doing nothing! Moldy orange 03:25, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm only putting them at the end so they can be alphabetized. It's not useless, it's standard practice. Baby G 19:05, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
It is useless because no matter what order they are in or where they are on the page, they would still appear as the exact same in the categories. Do not do this again or you will suffer the consequences. Moldy orange 19:10, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
How is it useless to follow standard practice? Baby G 19:12, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
What standard practice? I can only find that you are going against standard practice by forcing another server crash. There is no reason to do it and I wish you would stop. Moldy orange 20:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
On all sites that use MediaWiki software, it's standard practice to alphabetize categories. Baby G 20:09, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Zhen Lin said that we have our own set of rules and we don't have to follow everything other sites do. We are our own site with our own rules. Currently, you are breaking many of our rules; if you don't like our rules, which I have told you what they are and what to stop doing, you can leave to your other sites and never return!

Which rules am I breaking? Baby G 21:31, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Edit warring, failure to comply with a sysop, etc..., and there is no statement under the Archives:Manual of style#Categories section in the MOS about alphabetical order. Do you know why? Because it is not an issue. Categories are categories, no matter where they are on the page; they work exactly the same and putting them in a different order only wastes time, because there is no benefit to what order they are in. I wish you would understand that and move on to do something that is actually beneficial, not useless. Moldy orange 22:23, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

It's more organized to alphabetize them. Baby G 00:32, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

There is no need to organize them, the point is to have them on there. They are organized by alphabetical order on the category page, where it actually does matter. It doesn't matter on the file page because it works the same way no matter how they are organized. But it is set up alphabetically on the category page. Moldy orange 00:43, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
That's not how I mean it. On Image:Whos That Pokemon Revealed.JPG, the categories looked like this before:

Categories: Pikachu | Anime screenshots

They now look like this:

Categories: Anime screenshots | Pikachu

Don't you agree that the latter is more organized? Baby G 14:36, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

No, they both equal each other. They are both the same and they work the same meaning they have no difference what-so-ever. Moldy orange 14:49, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
The latter is in alphabetical order, which, is more organized IMO. Baby G 14:53, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
