Who runs this place?[edit]

Just wondering who runs this report, and thus who to contact when wanting to get it rerun. I know it's just been refreshed, and that's great. More things to work through. But in the future, once the current list is all processed, who should be contacted to request another refresh? TexasAndroid 16:09, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Editable copy[edit]

I updated Category:Orphaned categories from this list today, to help avoid duplication of effort. -- Beland 06:51, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How to copy contents elsewhere?[edit]

I was going to update the Category:Orphaned_categories#Updated_from_Special:Uncategorizedcategories_on_15_Oct_2005, but can't tell how to pull non-html source from this page? ∴ here…♠ 22:36, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this page now empty?[edit]

The list seems to have been empty all day. Was there some sort of bug? -- SCZenz 08:49, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Short Pages is empty as well. Whatever it is has struck multiple, if not all, of the cached lists of this type. - TexasAndroid 15:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Has some technical person been informed somewhere? -- SCZenz 19:54, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It was odd, but it is non-empty now. -- Fplay 08:33, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Update frequency/datestamp[edit]

How often is this page updated? When was it last updated? Or how can I request an update? -choster 18:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering the same thing; The current list is in pretty good shape ... -- ProveIt ^(talk) 21:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For this past few weeks it's been updating twice a week, on wednesday and saturday mornings. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 19:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

September 2008[edit]

OK - so it's no longer being updated... what happens now? Ian Cairns (talk) 09:37, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's been gone for ten days, and already I'm in withdrawal. Please someone, how do we get this page updated? Stepheng3 (talk) 20:57, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can now get the list at Wikipedia:Database_reports/Uncategorized_categories. VegaDark (talk) 15:22, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. I request that this Special: page be edited to direct users to this new source of information. Stepheng3 (talk) 22:19, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. You might also want to look into requesting the protection on this page be reduced to semi. Not sure why it needs to be indefinitely protected. Protonk (talk) 05:14, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This task needs to be redone. --Stepheng3 (talk) 18:39, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you are talking about. The last edit made to the page was mine and I made it in october. No one has "undone" my edit. Protonk (talk) 20:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have nulled your request. I see nothing actionable without more explanation—indeed, I don't even understand the request. You previously requested the page be redirected to Wikipedia:Database_reports/Uncategorized_categories after VegAdark provided the link there; this was done by Protonk and the redirect is functioning. What is it that you want "redone"?--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:26, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect is working now, I see, but it wasn't at the time I placed my request. Sorry for the confusion. --Stepheng3 (talk) 21:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{editprotected}}

It's gone again. Or am I losing my mind? --Stepheng3 (talk) 19:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are losing your mind? :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 07:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, but try this one. Special: is a separate namespace from Wikipedia:, I think. --Stepheng3 (talk) 01:31, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please update[edit]

The list of uncategorized categories was last update on November 27, 2014. Could there be regular, weekly updates? I am visiting many categories listed and they have already been categorized. Unnecessary listings tend to discourage editors from checking in and working on these pages as the information is so out-of-date. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 13:30, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Updates are permanently switched off. There is a database report at Wikipedia:Database reports/Uncategorized categories that performs the same function and is updated regularly. QuiteUnusual (talk) 16:44, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe there should be a note to this effect on the Special page, QuiteUnusual...if there isn't already. Thanks for responding! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:10, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There already is; it reads "For updated data, see Wikipedia:Database reports/Uncategorized categories... Updates for this page are currently disabled." Or did you mean a different message or a message somewhere else? QuiteUnusual (talk) 15:36, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
