As most everyone is aware, before we moved to Wazopedia and a separate USA namespace, we had many pages that were USA specific posted as subpages of global pages. During the transition we mostly cleaned up the global and USA subpages, but there are a few that are still out there that need consolidation back to a single page.
I want to use this thread to identify and track these pages as we locate them. Most should be easy to locate as the USA subpage is easy to see, but I have seen a few pages that were just renamed and they include content that refers to global vs USA specific guidelines. We should review those and determine if we still need to additional language for the USA specific pages.
The global pages already identified have the [[Category:Request for global merge]] on the page, but I have also included the ones I found in that list in my related pages below for easier tracking. Once we complete the list below, we will recheck the category to be sure no other pages have been added.
We don’t have a USA subpage template yet to point the other direction when there is no “global page,” so I might set one up to better track these pages. I have found the following:
Current USA subpages
All USA subpages planned for merging into standard pages has been completed.
Redirects to clean up
After the subpage is moved, we are leaving a redirect page from the original supbage. We are adding {{ReviewRedirects}} to the redirect page if it has current pages still linked to it. That template adds a link to the category that tracks pages that need the redirects reviewed. The italic pages listed on that category list are redirect pages. Those should be reviewed to update all the pages that link to it so those linked pages can get their links updated to point directly to the final page and not to the redirect page.
Note that the State Template pages may be shown in the list of pages linking to these redirects. The core template has been updated, but the individual state template pages will need to be “refreshed” (edit and save without changes or summary note) either manually or with a script to clear them from the lists. In cases where you see a subpage on the state template page, it is not part of the core template, so those pages will need to be updated manually to change the link.
Global Wazeopedia template
We also have pages that still carry the Global Wazeopedia template. These pages need to be reviewed and have the inappropriate global content removed followed by the template.
USA Regions
Pages like USA/USA/Southwest are more complex. They are part of the state template system and will take time to rebuild all templates involved. Currently they use the {{RC/CommonRegion}}.
Completed
I stopped tracking the completed pages since we have categories and templates to track what is still pending.
