Forum:About exporting and categories?

I have two questions.


 * 1) Exporting, is it possible to transfer a page to another without losing the history? Each time I do that, I only get the last editor. 85.30.155.6 20:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Categories, is it possible to add a page to a category without showing the category space? This would be really useful at Uncyclopedia and its sister sites, thanks. 85.30.155.6 20:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

(sorry for not logging in) Putting style="display:none" doesn't work, because it makes the opposite. It SHOWS the category box without adding it to the category. Smiddle 21:00, 20 December 2006 (UTC)


 * On Special:Export there is a checkbox at the bottom that says [x] Include only the current revision, not the full history, if you uncheck that it should give you the full history.


 * What exactly do you want to hide? If you wanted to hide all categories you could try (in a site-wide CSS):


 * 1) catlinks {display: none; }
 * But this would cause navigation problems for those who use categories. If you wanted to hide all the links (on all pages) to just one category, you could try something like:


 * 1) catlinks a[title="Category:Hidden category"] {display: none; }
 * But this isn't supported by all browsers, and would be a bit hit-and-miss. Also, if it was the only category on a page, the category box might look weird.
 * If you want to hide just one link to just one category, then you are getting into javascript which is a pain, and unreliable. If you really need to have a page marked as being in a category without showing it, you could put the talk page in the category instead, or make a subpage as a categorized redirect, eg: Page in category Category:Hidden could have (I believe) Page/redir with contents:

 * 1) REDIRECT:Page Category:Hidden

I want to hide the category box at the bottom of a page. For example on this page, the box saying "Category: Help desk". I'll try the redirect thing. And when I export pages I directly go to Special:Export/Page, thanks for the tip. Smiddle 11:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
