"Category:Literary"[edit]

the category introduction is "The following is a list of words related to literary" - wtf does that mean? I'd try to change it, but these topiccat templates are mighty confusing. --Rising Sun talk? contributions 14:54, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's an artifact of the grand design of the template system for categories. Either put in a petition to get it fixed or remove the offending template. DCDuring TALK 11:25, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Those make me crazy too. How the heck is an editor supposed to edit parts of an open dictionary if they're hidden away? What is accomplished by removing text from the page it appears on?
If the system's broken, just ignore it. I suggest you just edit the category page in question, surround the bad template with <del> ... <del>, and type the correct text in place. Michael Z. 2010-05-17 13:21 z
I've made a start. Feel free to improve my description. Michael Z. 2010-05-17 13:23 z
Topic cat is pretty recondite, I should be able to fix it using topic cat helper and parents, although it's very very complicated even by wiki markup standards. 91.105.54.107 10:36, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
