Is there some sort of script that has been written or could be written to easily have a drop-down where categories could be added and all edits made automatically? ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 16:14, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there something you're thinking of that isn't covered by the tools listed in Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting § Scripts and tools? I personally use User:Enterprisey/delsort. Skynxnex (talk) 16:22, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, perfect. I hadn't seen those. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 17:20, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The topics are currently uneven, for instance there is Astronomy and Biology, but big omissions; I suggest adding Physics and Chemistry as a start, see for instance User:SDZeroBot/NPP sorting under STEM. Ldm1954 (talk) 18:50, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I noticed those large omissions, too, so I wholeheartedly second this request. Anomalous+0 (talk) 03:04, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could we move Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Artists to Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Visual Artists since that is the topic and to cut down on erroneous postings? Jahaza (talk) 20:35, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

or …/Visual arts ? —Tamfang (talk) 05:06, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should the Prod section be removed from the bottom of the list? Seems unused. Govvy (talk) 13:55, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can I go ahead and set up a list for Activism, or do I need to get permission in advance, and how would that happen? Anomalous+0 (talk) 02:26, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
