Category talk:Inhabitants by gender

The lack of female category is just v_v --58.168.140.16 03:54, June 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * While I don't disagree, I think the category itself is disappointing, in that such a small percentage of articles that use the Person template include a Males or Females category. It also doesn't take into account sexless characters like beholders. Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 10:46, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

I didn't even know there were categories for sex/gender. Categories aren't easily discoverable; I just use what I remember seeing elsewhere. -- BadCatMan 10:56, June 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I do a short search for cats that I think would be appropriate but I don't tend to look very far. hashtalk 12:00, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Can we adjust the Person template so that the gender attribute automatically adds the page to the appropriate Inhabitants category? That would immediately populate the two categories with every "Person" we've got that has the gender specified.&mdash;Moviesign 13:35, June 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Perhaps make the allowable values for the gender attribute female, male, hermaphrodite, and sexless (or none?) If someone is transgendered by a Girdle of femininity/masculinity then the most resent gender will be in the info box and the description text will have to explain why the author put that person in both categories :D &mdash;Moviesign 14:05, June 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * It might be possible to have the template do it. I can't remember if MediaWiki or Wikia (which is based off of MediaWiki) has a way to remove wiki code/html; if a reference is included in the gender parameter, the function won't be able to know that Male means that the person is male. If anyone knows, please let me know! Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 21:49, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

I've now made Category:Females. There's only three at the moment. Well, this is still a small and slightly frayed wiki, and it's still growing and sorting itself out. -- BadCatMan 12:49, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
