Template talk:Subjects

Exploratory change
I'm nearly ready to make a preliminary change to this template. All it'll do (if I don't screw up) is, essentially, gather some statistics, using hidden categories. It'll reveal which books use categories that don't have subjects properly set up for my allbooks scheme; and it'll reveal which books use the  parameter (my guess is, all the Wikijunior books and no others, but it's only a guess and this way we'll know). --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 16:28, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Allbooks device
I'm about ready to go live (I hope). The device should populate allbooks categories, but only ones that actually exist &mdash; avoiding redlinks, and the ones that do exist are presumably hidden. The code also doesn't use any expensive parser function calls if all the relevant allbooks categories exist and are well-formed, so as the allbooks categories are created (which the code facilitates), the expensive calls will go away.

The actual edit to bring it on line will be to Subjects/leaf. For a while, at least, it will be possible to take it off line by simply reverting that edit. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 03:30, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
