:: [[Forum:Limit categorisation to the Main namespace?|This]] proposal? I'm certainly in favor of the goal but I really don't know what the right approach is. Will say something in more detail there. [[User:Optimatum|Optimatum]] ([[User talk:Optimatum|talk]]) 16:24, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

: From what I understand from PSGarak and Tirerim's responses, it seems that SMW queries, which are the default way of displaying information on pages, already exclude the User namespace. That is, with [[Zeefaring]] as an example, Actions which raise, Actions which lower, Pages which use/require and Challenges are all already SMW queries.<br><br>So while userpages are included in category pages, it may not be a high priority concern as the expectation is that casual wiki browsers will not actually look at category pages.<br><br>I ultimately do not have strong feelings about this. I do browse categories, but generally only wiki-internal ones like Guides needing work. I don't really know how casual browsers use the wiki, though I'd be interested in finding out!

::More precisely, SMW queries ''can'' exclude the User namespace but have to do so manually. Most of the major templates do so but definitely not all of them; I've seen userpages show up occasionally (generally when templates have a link to full query results). More likely to evade notice are guide concepts or other queries that are custom written for one purpose.
 
::I don't have especially strong feels about this either, certainly not enough to embark on a large project myself (especially with several other more meaningful projects I already have half-done). But I do care enough to address the occasional stray page if I see it. [[User:Optimatum|Optimatum]] ([[User talk:Optimatum|talk]]) 19:47, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
