Problems with the WikiVoyage.pt

Guys, please, I am having two problems at Wikivoyage.pt: 1) I am not able to remove the categories there, it seems that they are added automatically... but categories are being added in English... How can I add and remove them manually? What about stoping the automatic process?2) there is a problem in the interface: when one opens the source code editor, there are some links in the taskbar to add the common templates automatically, but they appear, today, disfigured and it is not possible to understand their functions, can someone help? or where I can get help on this?

These are two independent tasks.

  • The one with detoriated icons might be solved globally.
  • The categories were issued by voy:pt:Módulo:Map which is a local configuration issue and are not caused by a MediaWiki problem to be discussed here.

That module appears to have been copied from an English project, either English Wikipedia or English Wikivoyage I guess. There are no precautions made to configure categories locally according to another project than the module has been written for.

Do I just find the maps that are inserting the categories and remove them from there? How do I find them?

And how did I solve this? I don't understand anything that happens on this page.

well you could delete it. That would have other effects though.

personally i think it is in scope for here (but not for phabricator), but its kind of unlikely anyone is going to help the poster from here.

I am asking help here.

PerfektesChaos (talkcontribs)

I do know.

However, this project here is maintaining global MediaWiki software.

You have two local problems in voy:pt: which are not caused by global MediaWiki software. You need to find a local solution for programming located at voy:pt. You might ask other pt people.
