curprev 22:1122:11, 3 April 2025 Tryptofish talk contribs m 12,458 bytes −1 →Inappropriate types of user categories: null edit to acknowledge that I read the edit summaries, thanks undo Tag: Manual revert
curprev 22:0722:07, 3 April 2025 Pppery talk contribs 12,459 bytes +1 →Inappropriate types of user categories: For example the list includes the pickle cabal discussion closed as keep. I've been attempting to maintain a complete list of all user category discussions regardless of outcome or reason at WP:UCFD/H - if you think something there (or not there) that was closed as keep is missing from the topical index feel free to add it undo Tag: Reverted

curprev 21:4521:45, 4 July 2022 Pppery talk contribs 12,400 bytes +35 On second thought let's be more direct; the relevant CfDs closed as no consensus, hence there is no consensus on whether this type of category is allowed. Challenge the closures through a discussion on User talk:Fayenatic london or Wikipedia:Deletion review if you disagree undo
curprev 21:3221:32, 4 July 2022 Pppery talk contribs 12,365 bytes +6 I probably should revert this edit entirely, but I'm instead going to hedge and say "may be tolerated" because they have been deleted many times before and an unequivocal "are allowed" is not really consistent with a "no consensus" closure undo

curprev 00:0900:09, 7 April 2021 Pppery talk contribs 12,266 bytes −18 Undid revision 987748327 by JPxG (talk) Don't think this is an improvement, because the nonsensical category may not have been deleted, or the joke may actually be funny, but none of those make the category more applicable undo Tag: Undo
