Comment: Please note WP:DRAFTNOCAT, under which drafts are not allowed to be filed in mainspace categories as if they were already finished articles. Drafts must stay out of any categories while they're in draft, and may be added to categories only if and when they get accepted and moved by an AFC reviewer.
As I've had to pull this out of categories three times in the past week, do not readd it to categories again, and note that if it is readded to categories again I will be forced to editprotect it to limit who can edit it at all. Bearcat (talk) 19:59, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
