Bullies
Hi there! Category:Inquisitorial Squad is under Category:Bullies - that is, all members of the Inquisitorial Squad are Bullies by definition. The Category system is a hierarchy like a series of folders within one another, not a word tagging system, so only the most specific category needs to be applied, a rule that the bot will enforce automatically. Hope this helps --Ironyak1 (talk) 22:33, December 23, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Ironyak1 for replying, but your bot has made a few errors with categorisation rules that do not exist. Happy editing. RedWizard98 (talk) 02:01, December 24, 2018 (UTC)


 * If you want to make sure I see your reply, you should post in on my talk page. What are the categorisation errors you believe the bot is making? Again, articles should not have higher-level redundant categories applied which seems to cover most of the changes you seem to take issue with. Other "problems" you note, like the UK spelling of biassed can be confirmed via a dictionary e.g. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/biassed


 * Let me know of any other questions that may need explanation. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 06:56, December 31, 2018 (UTC)

RE bot errors
To reiterate: biassed is from the Cambridge Dictionary as the UK form of biased. Pottermore does not follow UK spelling so the spelling here and there are often not going to agree. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/biassed

In looking through the Categories, Category:Azkaban convicts is a child of Category:Death Eaters along this path: Azkaban convicts -> Dementor_victims -> Dementor_attacks -> Dementors -> Death_Eater_allies -> Death_Eaters

While this logic clearly does not work, the fault is in the categorization system, not the bot's changes. These odd categorization loops are often caused by people adding new categories to one another without understanding the overall hierarchy. I've broken this category chain at Dementors so that this inheritance logic no long applies and will not be enforced by the bot in the future.

Similarly, Category:Blood is in Category:Body fluids which is in Category:Creature products. As such When you add an an article to Category:Blood it is by definition a Body Fluid and a Creature product. This logic does make sense so there is no need to add the Creature products category to any article with the Blood category as it is redundant (and will be removed by the bot).

I would suggest you spend more time exploring and working through the Categorization system if you are going to apply and extend it - this probably would lead to less frustration and a better understanding of its structure and rules. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 04:16, January 1, 2019 (UTC)
