[edit]Hi NotToScale. Please don't paste an entire article onto your userpage. Instead please use your sandbox :) 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) 01:47, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- Hi 45dogs, thank you for the heads up. That was my mistake! NTS (talk) 01:51, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- Hi again, any chance there's a way to see what my original revision was so I can copy it to my sandbox? I can't seem to find how to show the old revision. NTS (talk) 01:55, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- I'm on vector legacy so if you are on a different appearance it might be a bit different, but you should go to history and then click on the 17:45, December 9, 2025 version, which will bring you to a page that looks like this. Then go into edit mode and copy and paste to the sandbox. Please remove the categories when bringing it to the sandbox though; drafts and sandboxes aren't supposed to have categories designed for articles. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 01:57, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for the help here. I was able to find the original and paste to my sandbox so hopefully that is more inline with good practice. I was under the impression that adding a space after the colon on categories would deactivate the categories, so just to make sure I removed the double brackets this time around. Thanks again for the assistance here. NTS (talk) 02:02, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- You can make categories not be categories by changing [[category:living people]] to [[:category:living people]] . This turns them from categories into links. There are other ways to disable them, but that is probably the easiest, besides just removing them all together. Happy editing :) 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 02:08, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- @45dogs Oh that seems like the way to go. Thanks again :) NTS (talk) 02:10, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
