When I tried to use the Categorizer app, I noticed that deleted articles are showing up in it for categorization. I have no idea what happens if you actually try to categorize these articles though, but it is making using the tool somewhat difficult.

Hey @R2_d2000 how long have you noticed that this is happening? Do you think it’s something that’s changed recently?

I tried to use categorizer, but got stuck with another one myself. https://www.wikihow.com/Convert--Different-Formats-to-Video-and-Audio-using-MediaVideoConverter-RMVB-Converter

Also, I remember categorizing another article about “Mexican Car Insurance” and that diff edit isn’t showing up on My Contributions page - apparently, these aren’t even making their diffs - official edits. Don’t remember the title in it’s entirety.

@EpcotMagic I also categorized the Mexican car insurance one! It’s definitely a bug, so hopefully we’ll have a fix soon!

I think this is also a problem with “c” articles. I saw there was an issue with those on another post.

Here are some articles I’ve seen with this problem:

Perhaps those “C” articles were deleted during the time where no edits to “C” articles were saved? I know I had to promote and re-demote an article I had moved to quality review, so this could be the case, yikes.

Great catch, @Freyrr ! This is definitely a knock-on effect from the database issue, thanks for your insight - it will help with the fix!

This is a different thing, but a redirect seems to have shown up in the categoriser.

Okay thanks! I’d never seen it happen before.:slight_smile:
