Request that local description page for File:BLogo 930x818.png be unprotected. __meco (talk) 18:45, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

As far as I can tell it is not protected. --Etenne (talk) 13:23, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

I receive this error message: "Permission error - You do not have permission to create pages, for the following reason: This page has been protected from editing because it is included in the following page, which is protected with the "cascading" option turned on: " __meco (talk) 18:02, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Can you explain to me what is your reason for wanting this? --Etenne (talk) 19:28, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

In order to add the local page to Category:BoyWiki-en images. __meco (talk) 19:57, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

See I am not understanding what the purpose of doing that is? It seems redundant.--Etenne (talk) 20:45, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

I want to start out with simply adding all image files to this category. Then, eventually create more specific categories for different types of images. __meco (talk) 14:23, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Why not do that on Media wiki. If you want to categorize, I can give you access. However, we want to add to, not recreate. I assume as a European, you can speak more then one language and can understand the French and German a bit. Also, you have to be able to take advice from the French curator as he his the person who is primary on that part of BoyWiki. --Etenne (talk) 14:34, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Doing the categorizing simply on Media wiki is not a good solution. Then those categories would be sequestered from the category structure of BoyWiki/en. Category surfing also would miss these categories in that case. Besides, I don't want to be the only person who was expected (or allowed) to edit the media pages. __meco (talk) 15:26, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

I am still not seeing the benefit of doing this (other then wasting disk space which is not unlimited). How does this improve the content of BoyWiki?--Etenne (talk) 15:33, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
