Wanted categories - Tamriel Rebuilt

One of the Wanted Categories at the moment is Tamriel Rebuilt Pages Needing Images. This has highlighted an inconsistency in the way that Tamriel Rebuilt pages are listed in the 'needs action' categories:

• Pages marked with {{Stub}} are shown in the categories :Category:Tamriel Rebuilt (Morrowind) Stubs|Tamriel Rebuilt (Morrowind) Stubs (which doesn't currently exist) and :Category:Tamriel Rebuilt (Oblivion) Stubs|Tamriel Rebuilt (Oblivion) Stubs.
• Pages marked with {{NeedsMap}} are shown in the categories Category:Tes3Mod Pages Needing Maps and Tes4Mod Pages Needing Maps.
• There are categories called Tes3Mod Pages Needing Images and Tes4Mod Pages Needing Images, both of which are currently empty and are unlikely to gain any members.

The reason for this difference is the way in which the templates determine the namespace for the category.

• {{Stub}} uses "{{NS_NAME}}{{#ifeq:{{NS_NAME}}|Tamriel Rebuilt| ({{NS_PARENT}})}} ".
• {{NeedsMap}} uses {{NAMESPACE}}.
• {{NeedsImage}} uses {{NS_NAME}}.
• {{Cleanup}} and {{Verification needed}} also use {{NS_NAME}} - and there are already Tamriel Rebuilt, Tes3Mod, and Tes4Mod categories set up for these templates, and in both cases the Tes3Mod and Tes4Mod categories are empty and are unlikely to gain any members.

I would like to propose that all of these 'needs action' templates are modified to work in the same way as the {{Stub}} template, so Tamriel Rebuilt pages that require action are placed in 'Tamriel Rebuilt (Morrowind)' and 'Tamriel Rebuilt (Oblivion)' categories, rather than Tes3Mod or Tes4Mod. Does anybody have any objections or other comments? --Gaebrial 14:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree - and that has been on my "to do" list for a while. I set the stub one up and was going to start a debate on it but it completely slipped my mind. –rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 14:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I think this is all done now, unless I've missed something. I've created categories where necessary, and prodded the ones that are no longer used. I've left the generic Tes3Mod and Tes4Mod categories, even the ones that don't have members, as they can still pick up non-TR pages. --Gaebrial 08:42, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
