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

OK - so it's no longer being updated...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

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

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
