aaronpk wow, someone's browser is hammering monocle with 30 requests per second
#
aaronpk i wonder if it was bad JS that queued up all the requests when the server was down

#
[tantek] Agreed capjamesg. The category for stub template pages should be named the same as what Wikipedia has for that
#
[tantek] Also the framing of "incomplete" makes no sense on a wiki IMO. It's a wiki. By definition pages are expected to be incomplete. That's not what stub means
[Murray] and [artlung] joined the channel
#
[tantek] Wikipedia just uses the eponymous Category "Stubs" in their stub template. I'm going to change ours accordingly. No need to reinvent new phrasing there.

#
[tantek] ^ capjamesg, is this less unintuitive, or rather, more intuitive / meaningful?
#
capjamesg It's a lot better than what we have, but the stub category is a bit duplicative given we also have the stub section at the top of an article.
#
[tantek] it's potentially more useful as a page

#
[tantek] there we go
#
[tantek] except now there seems to be a weird caching problem as the old Category page https://indieweb.org/Category:Incomplete_pages_that_need_work still shows links to lots of subcategories and pages, and when you click on them, they all link to the new Category:stubs page. Very strange. Maybe the caches just need flushing? Or we wait 24h for it to sort itself out
#
[tantek] that old Category page should be *empty* except for the two lines of static text at the top

#
capjamesg [edit] Like https://indieweb.org/follow has the category, even though it has several thousand words and years of history by multiple contributors.
#
[tantek] heh
#
[tantek] ya that page certainly has broad enough contributions from many folks to no longer be a stub
