This template apparently defaults to add several categories (Food and drink articles needing attention to referencing and citation, Food and drink articles needing attention to coverage and accuracy, Food and drink articles needing attention to structure, Food and drink articles needing attention to grammar, Food and drink articles needing attention to supporting materials, Food and drink articles needing attention to accessibility) unless they are turned off ("=no"), which seems very unhelpful to me. This automatically mis-categorizes hundreds of articles that have no such problems, rendering those categories useless for identifying the ones that do. These categories should remain off by default, unless someone identifies an actual problem that needs attention and adds "=yes". -Jason A. Quest (talk) 14:00, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
regardless of whether future problems will be created, what about the (estimated) 15,000 Talk pages that, from a 2008 bot-created mis-tagging,
is still unfixed? (see 2008 hangover: six tags, 15,000 cases : below) Pi314m (talk) 13:38, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The talk pages of aproximately 15,000 articles have the following category tags:
Food and drink articles needing attention to referencing and citation
Food and drink articles needing attention to coverage and accuracy
Food and drink articles needing attention to structure
Food and drink articles needing attention to grammar
Food and drink articles needing attention to supporting materials
Food and drink articles needing attention to accessibility
The problem has gone to HelpDesk, which sent it to BOTREQ, which sent it here, the project talk page. Now what - is there consensus that it's time to fix this, as good citizens, so that those tags mean something, after those places having all six together are fixed?

Anyway, it's much easier to understand what you are talking about if you use a template link the category, you can use {{cl}}or{{clc}} - the latter shows the page counts, as follows:
No bot was involved, and it certainly didn't happen "back in 2008": once the WikiProject banner was so modified in 2009-12, the categories populated automatically. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:28, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done I used Breakfast as the parameter because that is the heading of the discussion — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:51, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
