Keep but purge -- The present category is a mess. It has an inappropriate main article, one on a topic that is far too specific. The category could be kept, but mainly as a container category, with all organisations purged into appropriate sub-cats. Welfare agencies might need to become Welfare organisations, so that it can accommodate those that are not government agencies. After purging, there will probably be two or three general articles on specific aspects of the subject. Otherwise, this should be a container-only category.
Peterkingiron (

Whether an organization charges or not isn't usually defining - but even if it were, nearly all the various free advice providing organizations, whatever one decides is a large part, presumably still include nearly all religious, governmental, free health care organizations (lots on the net, and isn't health care free in much of Europe?), free legal organizations (lots on the net, and in the US there's various unions, ACLU, legal aid, immigration advocacy organizations, etc. all providing free legal advice), etc. Still not sold, here.

Nominator's rationale: It is customary to use "that" in this situation rather than "which"; "which" is typically used when there is a comma immediately preceding it. The point of the category is that the conjectures have been proved by now, hence the perfect tense "have been" in the rename. For mathematical proofs, the preferred verb form is "
proved", not "
proven"; the latter is better as an adjective meaning "dependable".

@Legoktm. A maintenance category absolutely should give details about what its purpose is and what if anything can be done by people interested in helping. If editors cannot figure out how to help with a task, it means in my opinion that the creator of the category hasn't done their job in providing enough context and self-description.
Jason Quinn (

The main purpose is to do comparative stats, so on
Category:Commons category Wikidata tracking categories we can see that 9k have a different local link, while 203k have the same. So about 4% still need work. There are probably related mailing list discussions somewhere, but that was pretty long ago now. The other purpose in the category is to start removing the local parameters like is currently happening with Authority control IIRC.
Legoktm (

And totally useless if we decide not' to migrate to Wikidata in the near future of course. This are two lists of pages where there is no problem with the Commons category link (the vast, vast majority of all Commons category links), so migrating these to Wikidata serves no purpose. The logical place to keep such statistics, if there is need for them, is Wikidata itself of course. Here they are only a distraction amongst the real maintenance categories.

Sadads (

When a category serves no purpose but needs to be stored anyway (and checked on every load of the page), all it does it slow down Wikipedia (not by a lot on any single page, but cumulatively it starts to be a lot anyway). While this is not a problem when there is a serious benefit from the category, it becomes a problem when there is no such trade-off.

Category:Commons category with local link same as on Wikidata (0), as the templates' code says. The maintenance task you mention (remove the local input) should be from this sister category (a category probably meant to be emptied!).
Per templates' code, this category has pages with |1=<novalue>, for example
London Buses route 1. In those, there is no maintenance job to be done. Even worse, this category cannot be made empty. It only says: "en:Pages where d:P373 is OK for its d:QID". -

Reply There is a very clear reason to split this category by gender. Per
WP:Cat gender, As most notable organized sporting activities are segregated by gender, sportsperson categories constitute a case where "gender has a specific relation to the topic". As such, sportsperson categories should be split by gender, except in such cases where men and women participate primarily in mixed-gender competition. Men and women compete separately in boxing, so gender is a defining attribute of a boxer. --
