Whenever I click the “Categorize Articles” button from the Community Dashboard, I arrive at this screen. http://www.wikihow.com/Image:Categorizer_Screenshot_382.png Despite this, the community dashboard says that there are more than three hundred articles to categorize. http://www.wikihow.com/Image:Categorizer_Icon_998.png Occasionally, it will let me onto the app, but after about five articles it promptly says that I may go no further. It gets a bit frustrating.

You can get this if you skipped a lot of articles. Feel free to categorize the articles from this link .

I can back this top statement up. It only offered me 4 articles to categorize, before telling me no articles to do. yet, the list of uncategorized articles is at 74 ( http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Special:Uncategorizedpages&limit=500&offset=0 - so that 300+ number is totally off now!

By the way, this version of the app runs on the former steps for the former categorizer, and still keeps the articles coming up in the regular Categorizer app itself. (I’ve tested this theory, and it indeed still comes up there-articles I’ve categorized via the old method, still appear, hours after being done in the new categorizer). For new users, since these steps don’t exist in the help article for the app, maybe it would be best, not to send them to work on this there. But, as I originally mentioned, you could tell them what the number really is. Also, this is about the 55th post talking about the No articles to categorize issue. It’s been documented now(for about the 55th time). If someone can really look into fixing this issue ASAP!

When I click on the “start” link I’m given articles to categorize. Is this still happening for you @Byankno1 @Inconvenience ? Please check again to make sure this bug is still happening.

Tommarow, I’ll try this and see!

Not good yet. Uncategorized articles page( http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Special:Uncategorizedpages&limit=100&offset=0 ) said 60, yet the Dashboard said 300+, yet it only gave me 5-6. And no, I haven’t skipped any in the past. Since the previous post(before Krystle commented), I haven’t been in this app. http://screencast.com/t/SQXvrapQ

^ I’m experiencing the same issues. http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/clXuIrVeUe I have the latest version of Chrome on Windows 7, if it helps.

I see the same on the latest Chrome, Windows 7, and I haven’t categorized anything in months. So you can’t say I skipped anything.:wink:

Noticed another, maybe similar resulting problem with the old Uncategorized articles page, which may lead to the problem here: http://screencast.com/t/3juRMm0Zu Other articles on page prove the same point. It seems to be selecting which ones it wants to show users in the Categorizer.

When I use my computer at home it always I can’t categorize articles, but it lets me on the schools computers.

The same thing happened to me and I have posted a thread about this already http://forums.wikihow.com/discussion/4433/what-is-the-problem-with-the-categorizer-app/#Item_4

@Milind007 @Writelf @Inconvenience @Byankno1 I just tried again, this time with Chrome, thinking perhaps it’s a browser issue. I still get articles to categorize. Is this still happening to you?

Before I was mandated to “run away” temporarily, it wasn’t happening as often. However, I couldn’t get the categorizer app to open on my classic Kindle device on full-site view. So I can’t say.
