Category talk:Alterers

There are a lot of NPCs on this list that aren't altererers. Is there a way to easily fix this or is it a matter of going through every single NPC that isn't one and changing their tags?

The second one. -CARAAMON (talk) 20:38, 12 June 2014 (CDT)

I did a quick spot check and it doesn't look like all NPCs on this list are actually flagged as Alterers. Is it just pulling the data incorrectly? --TEVESHSZAT (talk) 10:39, 13 June 2014 (CDT)

Just as one example, Hobglup is on the list but his page doesn't have him flagged as an alterer. --TEVESHSZAT (talk) 10:40, 13 June 2014 (CDT)

I had this same issue updating the spell scrolls categories. One fix is to make any edit to the pages that are mis-categorized. This will force them to update their categories to the correct ones. This is a bit of a tedious thing to do, but I don't know if elanthia will just get around to doing it on its own. The other concern with this solution is I can't tell if there are NPCs that are supposed to be showing on this list but aren't, and this solution doesn't work unless I can actually find them. I'll go ahead and work on the list currently showing on the category page for now at any rate.--ABSOLON (talk) 07:28, 16 June 2014 (CDT)

The good news: Saving an edit without making any changes doesn't actually create a history, but still updates the categories so this isn't going to spam the recent changes or contributions pages. The bad news: There are a crap ton of NPCs on this list. Feel free to help out. I'm starting with the A's.--ABSOLON (talk) 07:37, 16 June 2014 (CDT)

Thank you for taking on this task, Absolon! --TEVESHSZAT (talk) 01:03, 18 June 2014 (CDT)
