 * certain things you should know for these kind of requests — which is understood by me and pizero — create redirects; protect them, wikify the articles. •–• 08:12, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Creating the redirect makes sense but you could have done that yourself, however, wikifying the articles would be much more time-consuming, which would slow down the process of populating the category. Also, it is my understanding that Pi zero has an on-going systematic project of going through the entire archive for the purpose of wikifying. Didn't want to interfere with that project. --SVTCobra 17:27, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikifying is a big task, yes. One of my major candidates for semi-automation (and I've discussed it with Gryllida too, so there's more than one vector from which a device for that task might come).  But, if you do feel like wikifying the occasional article in our archives, surely don't let my long-term project discourage you!  It's not like we have a shortage of articles to wikify so we have to ration them.  It's a very welcome discovery, when I go to wikify the articles from a given day, to find that some of them have already been done.  I sometimes do drive-by wikifyings here and there myself.  My only caveat would be, if there's a local target and the article isn't in the target category but should be (or, it's not clear whether or not it should be), either add the category, or use w so the matter is flagged out to be revisited eventually.  Laziness is a sufficient reason for leaving a w for now instead of adding the category.  --Pi zero (talk) 17:48, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * yes, I can do it now. I could not have done it before the category was populated because that would lead readers to empty category which “makes Wikinews look ugly”. I think it is better if the one undertaking the categorisation work creates after populating so that we don’t forget. Recently, I have started listing the redirects to be created — but these things, I guess Pi zero and I had that understanding evolved over time and if you are also going to use the dashboard at testing, I must let you know about the tasks which are expected to be done so that nothing remains incomplete and we don’t need to spend more time in future. •–• 20:46, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
