prod: add alert if BLPPROD is applied but article is not in Category:Living people #458
prod: add alert if BLPPROD is applied but article is not in Category:Living people #458

So, BLP is a little misleading, as the policy includes the recently dead while Category:Living people includes only the living. It might be unlikely, but BLPPROD could well apply to a page not in CAT:LP. I think it's probably okay to offer an alert in that case, but I don't think automatically adding CAT:LP is a good idea in that case. Perhaps reword the |
The BLP policy includes the recently dead as well as biographical details covered in other articles that are not bios. But the policy on BLPPROD does not make any mention of recently dead people.
So I don't think there's a problem here. |
I checked with another sysop, who reads that as I do: in direct reference to the policy rather than the vernacular meaning. The lines after it give some context as to what BLPPROD wouldn't cover. |

All grammar/stylistic changes implemented and resulting commits squashed. |
If page is being nominated for BLPPROD, a check is done to see if article has [[Category:Living people]]. If not, user is warned about it and they can choose to either continue or abort the action. If they choose to continue, [[Category:Living people]] is added to the article along with the prod tag.
This feature makes TW smarter and helps prevent bios of deceased people (and non-bios) from being mistakenly tagged for blp-prod.
