fixes to Template:Lettercombo?

Hi. I see that you have done a lot of editing on this template. Apart from it really needs some documentation so users can utilise it appropriate, it is spawning red links which are not obvious how to fix. Page Category:9F letter combinations creates red links to a see also, which is not ideal. I would have thought that these could be overwritten (no docs), or they would be tested to not appear if the target page did not exist. Would you be able to look at and resolve? Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 20:56, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

I’ll try to add some documentation ASAP. Category:9F letter combinations (and a few such others) has red links because "9" is not really a letter and {{Lettercombo}} was never meant for it: Its current scope is basic Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic letters — other scripts can be used as needed, but combos of letters and digits, while categorization-worthy on their own, should be categorized manually or using a different, maybe broader, categorization template. The redlinks could be avverted in the code, but adding a lot of expensive #ifexist calls seems to be worse than just undo do those misuses of the template itself. Please note that unexpected use such as in Category:9F letter combinations is mostly due to the edits of one prolific but exceptionally clueless IP user, whom reverting is as fascinating as it is tedious when it has to be done multiple times a week. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 12:56, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Memo: See Template talk:Symbolcombo — work to be done there. Also, images of “funny” Cyrillic and Greek letters needed to avoid flagging at Category:Category pages with broken file links. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 21:17, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

It’s not {{PD-simple}}, but better ask at COM:Copyright. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 23:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Purpose of some categories?

Hi. I am wondering on the purpose of the categories such as Category:BSicon/chronology/uploads/2006-11, especially with all their dead images that turn up in maintenance cats. If they are created and curated pages, wouldn't they be more main ns pages rather than cats, which are dynamically populated. Thanks, their purpose is not evident to me.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:37, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

I really don’t remember. Maybe I created these cats to match a wider set by someone else, with these few as redlinks, and later that set was deleted? Maybe discuss at Talk:BSicon/Categorization. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 02:45, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
