Two options[edit]

We can either make this an {{internal cat}} for social media platforms, or a regular cat with social media platforms also categorized in here. Heavy Water (talk) 20:52, 12 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

I think I, personally, favor the former. And no, not only for avoiding all the work of going through the archives and adding it. "Social media" has become ubiquitous in recent years. At this point, it's almost like adding a category for "people talking to each other". I invite Dr vulpes, as the creator of this category, to join this discussion. I certainly recognize there is the aspect of computers, phones and internet. SVTCobra 23:07, 12 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yeah making it an internal category makes sense. Going over that many articles by hand would take too long and I'm not willing to do it without AWB. Dr vulpes (talk) 23:27, 12 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Additionally, since Wikinews archives are fully protected, only administrators can do it. So even if you volunteered, you couldn't do it. SVTCobra 23:29, 12 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Alright. I've categorized the social media categories I could find in here and removed the article in here. Shouldn't the redirect social media be deleted, then? Heavy Water (talk) 00:13, 13 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
