::::Including the category in the Citation needed template is critical for keeping an active list of articles that need citations as editors might not manually add the category itself, but across wikis the Citation needed template is universal. [[User:Mr Pollo|Mr Pollo]] ([[User talk:Mr Pollo|talk]]) 13:30, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

:::::Could be a separate category? where it's separated from the main 'articles in need or work' list [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 13:31, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

::::::Is it not already? I mean here are the categories I know of:

::::::*[[:Category:Articles with verification concerns or other deficiencies]]

::::::*[[:Category:Articles requiring expansion]]

::::::*[[:Category:Articles in need of additional work|Category:Articles_in_need_of_additional_work]]

::::::While pasting these, I realized the Incomplete template uses 2 categories, including the in need of additional work and the same category as the citation needed. By making a new category for the citation needed template, I feel it would be more complicated as there will be 2 categories for verification issues.

:::::::Ok, I think I understand how these categories are organized now. I’ll make a new category for this template. [[User:Mr Pollo|Mr Pollo]] ([[User talk:Mr Pollo|talk]]) 13:44, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

::::Honestly I don't think it would be too controversial if we just made you a moderator to give you the ability to do that stuff, assuming you're fine with that?

::::You're certainly contributing enough! [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 13:30, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

:::::I’m okay with being mod, but I assume I shouldn’t do anything else apart from, for example, just moving a page w/o leaving a redirect? [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|AnotherConsumerRightsPerson]] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 13:40, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

::::::Given your general level of interaction with, and understanding of, the site - I think we'd be happy to have you on the team fully! I've asked around and there don't seem to be any objections. You've already got to #5 on the edits of all time ranking so seems almost silly not to mod you lol. [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 19:57, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
