Category talk:I forgot to add categories
From Geohashing

Ah, yes. I'll be sure to "forget" to add categories in the future. That way you can once again feel superior by mocking someone who may have been around for a while, but who rarely ever uploads pictures and is unfamiliar with category conventions due to never using them.
This particular category serves no positive purpose. It just doubles the amount of work involved, one for the person adding this tag (with other categories), and one for the person removing it. -Srs0 12:37, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- Actually it's meant as a humorous reminder, like a light hearted nudge. No offence was intended. I fully expect something of mine will end up in here at some point. --mykaDragonBlue [- i have no sig -] 12:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- Please create a guide listing all categories to remember in the first place. You will see that there is no such thing as "forgetting to add categories". -- relet 12:43, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- Take a look at the bottom of the upload page. --mykaDragonBlue [- i have no sig -] 12:45, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- I stand corrected. :D -- relet 12:50, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- I keep forgetting to include the Expeditions category. A list of categories one might forget, or a category indicating "I don't know what categories I should use" would not be a bad thing. However I'm guessing from Myka's comment that this discussion pertains mainly to photos, in which case anyone sophisticated enough to add that category could read the upload form and add the needed ones. More categories one might want to use on photos are linked in the Uploading photos help section.
- srs0, I'll apologize on Myka's behalf that you felt mocked. I think it was a fair (although apparently false) assumption that someone who Geohashed on the very first Saturday of the sport, and who hails from the mighty Vancouver graticule would know photo category conventions and had merely forgotten to add them (as your partner in crime, thepiguy, often does). Take it as recognition of your long geohashing experience that you were teased rather than having Myka just add the categories for you, as would have been done for a newbie. -Robyn 18:39, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
