Could someone help me make sure these subcategories are correct? I'm really flailing about with them and probably messing it all up.

I also need ones for X-Men Fan Interviews and for Xena and Hercules Fan Interviews, though I only have red links for those so far. --Mrs. Potato Head (talk) 16:40, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Why are most of these interviews by canon source listed alphabetically (yay!) but some appear at the end out of order and under specific letters? --MPH (talk) 22:59, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

The sorting was inconsistent; I added an asterisk to the few that were under specific letters so they should all sort correctly now.--aethel (talk) 01:10, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
Thank you, Aethel. :) --MPH (talk) 01:25, 11 June 2017 (UTC)


I want to make a category for individual years. Should I call it "Interviews by Fans by Year" or ":Interviews by Year"? --MPH (talk) 18:51, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused by this category, to be honest. Why is the main cat "Interview by Fans" but every subcat is "Fan Interviews". Shouldn't the main category be "Fan Interviews" too? In that case, I would name the cats the same way you did with meta. For example "2002 Fan Interviews", etc.--Doro (talk) 21:19, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
Is it difficult to change "Interviews by Fans" to "Fan Interviews"? --MPH (talk) 22:07, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Helpful Guide?

Does someone know how to make a spot on the first page of all these interviews that allows a fan to click on a letter of the alphabet and go straight there, rather than clicking on next page, next page, next page.... to get further into the page? --MPH (talk) 16:51, 3 October 2017 (UTC) Never mind. It's there already. At the top of the page. I was looking further down. --MPH (talk) 20:22, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Fandom Subcategories?

There are a number of subcategories here that only have a couple pages in them. Usually we wait until there are 10-15 pages before making a subcategory. Are we expecting to fill these categories shortly, or should they be deleted and recreated when they have enough pages? --sparc 19:29, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

I know I broke that rule. I'm hoping for four things: one is we find more interviews for them. Two is that by showing there are so few it may ping other people to add to it. Three is that to me, it is interesting to see which fandoms have an "interview culture" and which don't. Four is that for me, finding them again is hard. --MPH (talk) 19:53, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Querying this again

An editor has suggested deleting a number of fan interview subcategories with only one page (but not all of the subcategories that only have one page). The pages they marked are in Category:Attention Gardeners. Personally I think if we are deleting, we should delete all of these subcategories with only one page and recreate them as needed. But I realise it's easier to identify there are multiple fan interviews relevant to one fandom, when the category already exists. So, are there any of these subcategories that can be deleted? Or do we want to keep them in the hope that they will grow in future?--Auntags (talk) 10:34, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
I don't have a problem with deleting the categories that are too small. --MPH (talk) 20:09, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
I deleted all the ones with one category. --MPH (talk) 20:23, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
