Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Redundant categories/reply (3)

Yes. I'm doing it in a two-stage process so that I can be certain that entries aren't accidentally orphaned after the category is removed from the template. is only added if the script "sees" another template on the page that already adds the same category, like. That way it becomes a process of elimination, cutting down the numbers gradually in steps until nothing is left. Once that's done, then the categories can be removed from the templates, and the  parameter can be removed too.

I won't remove it on all form-of templates. The ones I'm working on are the templates for 8 "Indo-European cases". These are probably our oldest grammatical form-of templates so they probably reflect older practices that are not done anymore. The category is one of those, since most other grammatical form-of templates don't add categories either. This brings them in line with the rest.
