→Interwiki links in categories
Since this isn't covered in Help:Editing, when should language links be added to categories? And how come a Chinese link is fine, but other languages are not? I guess it makes sense to not add interwiki for maintenance categories, but for example for the pending deletion category I noticed a lot of pending requests (on German wiki as well as other languages), some dating back to early 2020, even 2019, and so I added the links to pending requests, for ease of use. I don't know if someone checks stuff like that manually or not. [[User:Dubesor|Dubesor]] ([[User talk:Dubesor|talk]]) 21:56, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

:The Chinese link can be deleted from the category. Generally speaking, if you don't have the ability to delete a page, you needn't worry too much about it, unless there's a page with a swear word as the name or something similar.

::Yea, I am not particularly worried, it's just a bit ugly e.g. when a page is in pending deletion due to for example misspelling, the misspelled word will still show up in search suggestions (such as the German "Schme'''r'''tterlingsstall").
