Category:Categories for deletion

This is a maintenance category, used for the maintenance of BTW. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a container category. Due to its scope, it should only contain subcategories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the BTW's categorization scheme. Pages are categorized here using {{Cfd}}. This category is hidden on its [member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set. These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This category contains categories that have been nominated for deletion. The fate of these categories is determined at their Talkpages. Pages are categorized here using {{Cfd}}. Note that categories listed for deletion may end up being renamed, those listed for renaming may end up being deleted, and so forth.
