Merge was approved, but support was subject to also merging the subcats. @Smasongarrison: will you be taking this forward too? – Fayenatic London 12:52, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I can handle this. It'll take a bit to implement, but I'm happy to make it happen. (The semester started this week, and I have a grant submission due next week.)^SMason_Garrison 19:37, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

  Doing... I'll take a crack at it. ^SMason_Garrison 17:55, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

  I've done all of A and B. Pretty much I'm only keeping people if they have some mention of anticommunism in the lead of the article. ^SMason_Garrison 18:28, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

  @Namiba want to take a crack at purging this category?^SMason_Garrison 01:34, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

  I did some work on purging it but, personally, I don't think it was the right decision. The anti-communist movement is a vast subject and it is very difficult to discern opinion from activist in this regard.--User:Namiba 01:50, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

  • @Johnpacklambert: I guess you finished this one? Can you also have a look at the entry above? Marcocapelle (talk) 10:41, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

    Neither of these are completed. I will be in the hospital with my grandson today without a computer. I will see what I can do the next time I have a computer. I also have a major product for my Facilitating Career Development class that is die on Tuesday. I might not get to this until the middle of next week.John Pack Lambert (talk) 11:04, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

      Good luck! I've added containerizing and diffusing tags to help out a bit. ^SMason_Garrison 18:38, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

I am still working on the Dramatists and composers. I am about halfway through the 20th-century American dramatists and composers category. I sorted through 19th and 21st and the main category. After I get through the 20th-century I will review the sub-cats by ethnicity and gender. In theory those are both sorted by century or in the unsorted category as well, but I will see if that is true when I get there.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:26, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

I have finnished sorting the Dramatists and playwrights by state. I will now start again on composers. It will take me maybe all of July to get that once done.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:49, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

I'll make the dramatists as done. ^SMason_Garrison 23:10, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Split off the toys. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 05:30, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

• Note that currently the games and sports are combined in one category tree and splitting that is still under discussion, see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2026_March_30#Category:Games_and_sports_by_decade_of_introduction. So I have just purged games from the toys tree, from the 1800s to 1990s. Next decades still to be done. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:51, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

  It was noted by multiple commenters that some games are toys, so those ones should not be purged; they should be in both toys and games. Mclay1 (talk) 12:58, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
