There are 112 of uncategorized articles. I browsed thru a few of them and then reached the end where I got “No articles to categorize… Try again later”. http://www.wikihow.com/Special:Categorizer
Actually I also wanted to categorize my own article that I just submitted and forgot to categorize. But… ditto … no luck.
I got out of wikiHow, came back, clicked “Categorize” and got the same thing. UPDATE: I already categorized mine, just a few minutes ago, by editing.
Laura - Have you ever used the categorizer tool before? It could be that you pressed “skip” on a lot of them so now they are not showing up for you. I’m moving this to the “Help Using wikiHow” forum category, since it’s a question about using wikiHow
Yes, Krystle, of course I have used a categorizer before. This message happens occasionally, not often. I did not think it mattered how many articles I skipped … I thought when it reached an end, the last one, it should NOT get stuck and show this message to me.
^ Mmhmm, it did that to myself. Once you’ve skipped all of the articles that were up to be categorized, it tells you to wait 'til more are there. It won’t, however, redo itself and start over - You have to wait 'til there are more.

Hi June Days … What surprised me was I got out of wikiHow completely to let it reset this database. I thought it should start the articles from the beginning of the database. That is what knocked me out when I got the same message. Often times closing a website completely and starting over does the trick. But it did not this time.
^ Yeah, I don’t know why it does it though. If you’re in the same account and have skipped/categorized all of them, it won’t refresh.
Hope this helped you.June Days
