Category:Cover story nominees | Result: Pruned[edit]
Delete[edit]
- Outdated category, we have RW:Articles for demotion now. There's no real reason to keep this. Plutocow (talk) 04:54, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Keep[edit]
Actually no, I think there's no point in removing it.Template:Cover is still added to talk pages for gold-nominated articles (and kept as{{cover|approved}}when gold). The category may not matter much, but it doesn't hurt either. It just now pointed me to one article that needed to have that template call updated. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 05:42, 16 August 2023 (UTC)- The template should be updated anyway, as its documentation refers to policies that no longer exist. If the category needs to be removed, that's a bonus. Plutocow (talk) 05:51, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- On third thought, fine, with these additional updates we're making it makes sense. Furthermore, I'll see to using DPL to add an auto-list at Help:Cover stories for any gold articles with missing cover pages. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 06:09, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- That extra idea turned out too complex for DPL, unfortunately. But regardless, what we end up with is no worse than before without it. One possible further change is to change Template:Rated so it automatically includes Template:Cover for gold, after all they are always supposed to be used together. (All gold article talk pages would need updating, though.) --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 06:48, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- I did that later change. Now people are not meant to manually add
{{cover}}at all anymore, instead only{{rated}}is used. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 07:26, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
