25 September 2015

• curprev 05:5205:52, 25 September 2015 DexDor talk contribs 5,508 bytes −92 →What types of categories are there?: rm "Different parts of Wikipedia use different schemes for organizing articles..." (it's unclear what that might mean to readers - and afaics incorrect)

24 September 2015

• curprev 20:4320:43, 24 September 2015 DexDor talk contribs 5,600 bytes −136 →What types of categories are there?: rm ref to "intermediate categories" (afaics there's no wp guidance refering to such a type of category).
• curprev 05:4205:42, 24 September 2015 DexDor talk contribs 5,736 bytes +402 →top: remove block of links that included lots of things not of interest to readers - no need to make readers (especially on phones) scroll past that to get to relevant stuff

17 September 2015

• curprev 21:0121:01, 17 September 2015 DexDor talk contribs 5,036 bytes −418 →Can I specify categories when searching?: rm "restrict your search to articles tagged with a particular category" para (doesn't really work to find things as it doesn't look in subcats, unlikely a reader would do this)

16 September 2015

• curprev 20:1620:16, 16 September 2015 DexDor talk contribs 5,454 bytes 0 →What are categories?: ch "related" to "similar" (better match to Help:Category and better match to how cats are used - e.g. Chuck Yaeger and Bell X-1 are about related subjects, but not similar subjects - one's a man the other's a plane)

15 September 2015

• curprev 20:0520:05, 15 September 2015 DexDor talk contribs 5,454 bytes −1,109 →Why might a category list not be up to date?: remove section - templates are very rarely (and probably should never be) used for subject categories, "if you are editing..." doesn't belong on this page (which is for readers)
