• Purge Category:Songs written for films (formerly "Songs from films") of songs not written for films

progress discussion

@Fayenatic london: this category is very large, so it is quite unlikely that anyone will ever systematically review all content. Should we just assume that the relevant articles will have been purged on an incidental basis during the previous 3 years? Btw the tag {{Cfd manual}} has already been removed by an anon quite a few months ago. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:27, 17 January 2020 (UTC) Thanks for the reminder, Marcocapelle. I've reinstated the template for now. The category does need work, (i) to remove songs that are in a sub-cat (e.g. http://petscan1.wmflabs.org/?psid=15019145 ), and (ii) to review what remains per the CFD. E.g. I have just removed Kiss (Prince song), which appeared to be categorised because "a bit of the song was heard in the film" (& there was no apparent rationale for animated films [1]). I think Songs from animated films should certainly be renamed "Songs written for…", e.g. Changes (David Bowie song) was in Shrek 2 but not written for it. Perhaps we need a nomination for the animated category, and in the discussion we could raise whether all the film-specific sub-cats should be renamed too; that might be overkill.  Done - well, nominated at least. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:17, 19 January 2020 (UTC) For info, increasing the depth of the PetScan currently brings up unexpected results because Songs from animated films > Pixar songs > Walt Disney Records singles. – Fayenatic London 21:34, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Templates removed or updated – deletion completed but backlinks yet to be resolved

These requests have been processed but "what links here" on the deleted category still shows multiple links from article and category space. This may be, in part, due to links in templates for which the revised version has yet to be populated; these are automatically processed by the job queue. The current backlog size can be seen there. Null edits can alo be used to resolve these backlinks. Please do not remove entries from the list until the only remaining backlinks are from project or user space pages.
