== Category order ==

Category order is something I've struggled with since joining WikiFur, as I'm sure you've noticed. I'd do better remembering if I had a visual list somewhere to refer to. Since you've been the one following me around with a broom and dustpan this entire time, I figured I'd ask you if you could provide me with one.

:I follow the example of our Category Lead, [[User:Sine|Sine]]:
:* <nowiki>[[Category:People]]</nowiki> always first
:* Activity-related categories (<nowiki>[[Category:Artists]], [[Category:Fursuiters]], constaff categories, guest-of-honour categories</nowiki>, etc, etc)
:* Species-related categories (generally main fursona)
:* Geographical categories (locations of significance - place of birth, current residence)
:* Time-related categories last (year of birth, year of death)--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] ([[User talk:Higgs Raccoon|talk]]) 17:59, 12 September 2014 (EDT)

::The basic idea is to lead with categories which are most likely to be of interest to furry readers, which are more specific to the subject, and which are more "important" considering this is an article about a person (i.e. being a comic artist is more important than being a fox character). [[:Category:People]] is a bit odd given all that, but at least it's easy to remember. Also, having any scheme at all helps when scanning to see if something's been missed out in a particular section of the categories. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:27, 12 September 2014 (EDT)

:::Also congratulations on your recent promotion. [[User:Interstellar Shipping & Trading Co.|Interstellar Shipping & Trading Co.]] ([[User talk:Interstellar Shipping & Trading Co.|talk]]) 15:57, 28 October 2014 (EDT)

== Stub tags ==

If I am adding a stub template to an article, where should I put it? Should it go beneath the main text and above the references/external links, like I did at ''[[Guardian Angel]]'', or beneath all that, like at [[Alfa Fox]]? --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 16:51, 10 May 2015 (EDT)
:I'd suggest below everything, at least if you're using that template, as the external links are still part of the article. We also have {{tl|Section-stub}}, which would go at the end of a section. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 16:53, 10 May 2015 (EDT)

== All Finished! ==

Hey there. Thanks for putting my page [[Kima]] in limbo for a bit while I made the major edits to it. I'm rather satisfied with what I've put for now and feel that it is done up enough to be put up. 
I will probably have more edits done to it later on down the road, but I think at the moment, the page well enough suits it's purpose. Thanks a ton!{{unsigned|Kima}}

:No problem! If you need any other help let me know. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 19:29, 14 May 2015 (EDT)

== Ocelot ==

Hi, could you take a look at the two comments I've posted on [[Talk:Ocelot (species)]]? Thanks. --[[User:Babou|Babou]] ([[User talk:Babou|talk]]) 12:13, 30 June 2015 (EDT)

== I actually did try to add a video ==

When it auto corrected me for me to wikify it, the embed for the video was just gone. I had to go back to actually add it

== posted on the LJ ==

please, please, PLEASE just delete that wikifur page.

== Artist collectives category ==

Should articles in this category have "Category:Artists" removed, as this is a sub-category of the Artists category? --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 02:48, 4 August 2015 (EDT)

: Thanks for asking. GreenReaper pointed out "They are not individual artists, as is implied for that category." So removing those collectives articles from Category:Artists would be appropriate.

== [[Twitch]] ==

May I ask what the point of keeping a link to a voluntarily excluded user on a disambiguation page is? All I see it doing is cluttering disambiguation pages and distressing users that have no wish to be included in the wiki. --[[User:Rasputin|Rasputin]] ([[User talk:Rasputin|talk]]) 14:14, 17 August 2015 (EDT)

== Page removal ==

Hello, a friend notified me that someone has written a page about me (complete with bizarre death theories) and I would very much appreciate if it can be removed. I simply decided some years ago that I wanted to separate myself from the fandom entirely, and while I would have no problem simply editing all of the misinformation in the article myself for correctness, the issue is I really would prefer my long-removed furry presence to be as minimal as possible. It is located at http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Abyss-Dog If needed, I am fully able to email you or DA note you from the account(s) mentioned in the Wiki as confirmation of my identity. Thanks for the help! {{unsigned|Abyss}}

:If you still have access to your "Abyss-Dog" deviantart profile, send me a note or publish a journal. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 16:33, 30 August 2015 (EDT)
::Actually, nevermind, I see the profile has been changed to match what you've told me. I'll go ahead and exclude the article. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 16:36, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

:::You're stellar! Thank you! :) -Abyss
