True, you can access all of their subpages via [[:Category:Verified translations/<lang>]], but the category is not actually set for the subpages. For example [[:Category:Weapons/de]] is a subpage of [[:Category:Combat/de]] but is not itself in [[:Category:Verified translations/de]]. --[[User:Ickputzdirwech\|Ickputzdirwech]] ([[User talk:Ickputzdirwech\|talk]]) 08:57, 11 November 2025 (UTC)		:: I see where the confusion might come from, but I don't think excluding category pages is necessary.

			::: The category pages are generally quite short and rarely edited, so I think it's acceptable to "lose" the tracking of their translation status in favor of making the navigation more clear, meaning that if you start from "Verified translations" and follow category links (e.g Combat -> Weapons -> Pistol), you can't end up on a page with an unverified translation. -- [[User:Bilka\|Bilka]] ([[User talk:Bilka\|talk]]) - <span style="color:#FF0000">Admin</span> 15:29, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

MrGoodkat: /* Use of this template on category pages */ new section

Use of this template on category pages: new section

New page

== Use of this template on category pages ==

Hello fellow editors, I think the documentation for this template is a bit misleading. Because if this template is used on ALL translated pages (including category pages), it will add the respective category with all its pages – no matter if verified or not – as a sub category to [[:Category:Verified translations/<lang>]], e.g. [[:Category:Verified translations/de]]. Same thing would happen in the rare case that a category page is marked as outdated. I think this defeats the purpose (and the advantages) of having dedicated maintenance categories for verified/outdated articles. Could we change the documentation of this template? Maybe some minor edits like this:

<pre>This template is meant to be placed only on translated pages in the article namespace (i.e. ''not'' on category or talk pages) to provide an automated way to check whether a translation is still up to date. If the revision-ID provided to the template is the most recent edit of the corresponds English page, the page is added to a category like [[:Category:Verified translations/de]] (depending on its language). If it doesn't it is instead added to [[:Category:Outdated translations/de]].

This template should be placed on all translated article pages right after the {{T|Languages}} template. Just copy the following text and fill in the revision-ID.</pre>
