Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • make an unreviewed article
  • place it in a hidden category (on enwiki, you can do this by adding a short description)

What happens?:

  • article no longer shows in the PageTriage system (Special:NewPagesFeed, info flyout of page curation toolbar) as uncategorized

What should have happened instead?:

  • article should show in the PageTraige system as uncategorized (hidden categories shouldn't count)

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Event Timeline

MPGuy2824:

If one adds the uncategorized tag to an article, it is added to 2 hidden categories ("Uncategorized from January 2024" and "All uncategorized pages") and hence stops being uncategorized.
