[edit] Categories for bees versus "apoids"

Hi. Just so you understand; "Category:Bees" is a sub-category of "Category:Apoidea" (it wasn't for some reason, but that was an oversight, or possibly an error by an earlier editor). Accordingly, in the future, please do NOT place any bee-related articles into the Apoidea category; since the categories are hierarchical, inclusion in the "Bees" category automatically places an article into the Apoidea category. Manually adding the Apoidea category to an article (e.g., Apidae) only results in a duplicate entry. Essentially, the Apoidea category tag shold only go into articles dealing with "sphecoid" wasps (there is no superfamily Sphecoidea any more, and they are not bees). Thanks.

The hierarchical categories are straightforward; if Apoidea is a sub-category of Hymenoptera, then all of the articles in the Apidoea category will ALSO appear on the Hymenoptera category page. Likewise, all articles in the "Bees" category will appear on both the Apoidea category page AND the Hymenoptera category page. As for "Bumblebees", that was a pointless category, since there are only a few species that have their own articles, and they are already linked to from the Bumblebee main article. That was not my idea, but there's no reason to delete the category at this point; it does no harm to have it there. Dyanega (talk) 23:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply:Sandbox/article

The reason for sandbox articles are for keeping drafts. When making large changes to an article, it's sometimes easier to make a draft on your subpage so it doesn't get edited by anyone except yourself. You can stand up and finish your draft anytime you like. I have to admit that I'm not working on the Bee article anymore nor really ever was, the reason why I had that was for beta testing of the Simple English link in the article (scroll down to the external links in my article and you'll see a Simple link). The reason why it showed up in those categories is because originally, the bee article was in those categories, I just copy-pasted the entire article (including categories) onto my subpage. Hope that helps, if you have any further questions, feel free to ask any. -- penubag  (talk) 02:38, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Something useful

Since you seem so interested in categories, you might like this catgraph. Just type the title of any category and click create graph. -- penubag  (talk) 04:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
