Discussion
[edit]Test edits 1 & 2 were not actually needed due to the DEFAULTSORT already matching the key value. Is there anyway to also check what that is set to before deciding if an edit is needed? -- WOSlinker (talk) 20:49, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- You could do like https://wiki.riteme.site/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Category:People%20from%20Raunds&prop=pageprops&ppprop=defaultsort&formatversion=2 Anomie⚔ 16:21, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Anomie@WOSlinker Thanks. Fixed. Can you take a look at the recent edits? Special:Diff/1045097487 Special:Diff/1045097468 Special:Diff/1045097446 Special:Diff/1045097508 Ladsgroupoverleg 19:52, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Please notify WikiProject Categories, and expand the function details a bit (does "sister categories" mean the categories in the category hierarchy having the same parent cat, or the other categories present on the same page?). – SD0001 (talk) 14:53, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @SD0001 Former (sister as having the same parent). I will notify WikiProject Categories Ladsgroupoverleg 12:40, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Would it be possible to link to the source code? I'd be interested in seeing the pattern recognition heuristics you're using. Colin M (talk) 16:46, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
