Handle wikis where the currently configured category has no direct pages
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

For example, this happened for English originally (fixed manually).

Another example we didn't fix yet is https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_in_need_of_copyedit .

This might just require having populating https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8235695, which is specifically the "All" category, then using that. This is a lot easier than recursively expanding the category tree in the populate script.

Event Timeline

Mass-declining tasks that only have the now defunct Growth-Team associated but no other projects, as announced in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T127072 - Feel free to reopen this task if it is still valid by associating an active project and resetting its status.

Aklapper removed a subscriber: Mattflaschen-WMF.

MediaWiki-extensions-GettingStarted has been removed from Wikimedia wikis and is getting archived per T292654. Thus declining this task to reflect reality.

See e.g. GrowthExperiments-NewcomerTasks or #GuidedTour instead nowadays for related use cases.
