What is 'Batch recategorization' on WikiAnswers?
"Batch Recategorization" is a Supervisor-only tool that allows Supervisors to add a bulk amount of questions to certain categories. This is useful when a contributor incorrectly categorizes multiple questions in a category.
Does a recategorization on WikiAnswers count as a contribution?
Yes, a recategorization counts as a contribution. Every time you mark in or unmark a category, it counts as one contribution. Therefore, you can get a total amount of 6 contributions for unmarking 3 categories, and marking 3 categories.
What was the Mission Recategorization contest?
Mission: Recategorization was a contest held on WikiAnswers in the summer of 2008. Those who recategorized the most questions during the week won Amazon.com gift certificates or WikiAnswers logo hats. To view the winners of the contest see the related link below.
How do you use Batch Categorize?

What is the fastest way to get contributions on answers?
For a Supervisor, it would be batch recategorization, batch splitting, batch reverting, and splitting alternates from questions. For a normal Contributor, it would be splitting alternates from questions, asking questions and putting them in several categories.
Why do some Supervisors add inappropriate questions to different categories instead of the inappropriate question category?
The majority of the time that Supervisors do not catch inappropriate questions is when they are using the Batch recategorization tool to move hundreds of questions at a time. If you see a question that is inappropriate, please report it via the red "Report abuse" button.
Can the Uncategorized category ever be cleaned up?
When the batch recategorization supervisor tool launches in August the "Uncategorized" category will likely start decreasing in size. Furthermore, when the automatic categorization engine under development is completed it might be possible to go back and automatically assign categories to all questions that are currently in the "uncategorized" category.
How do you recategorize questions in bulk on WikiAnswers?
WikiAnswers' Supervisors have a tool called "Batch-Recategorization" in which they can select multiple questions to categorize. Unfortunately, this is not available to non-supervisors; therefore the only way to do so would be manually. If you have a lot of questions that you think should be recategorized somewhere else, feel free to email WikiAnswers @ WikiAnswers.com (remove spaces) and they will sort it out.
How do you get a lot of contributions on WikiAnswers?
If you are a non-Supervisor: categorizing is one of the easiest tasks to do and does not take much time. Flags would be the second best option since most flags are simple and you get points for removing the flag and editing the answer to fix it. For Supervisors: Batch Recategorization is the most efficient way to get a lot of contributions. Again, flags would also be a good option. Batch Revert is also a good option but most times it is not appropriate to use this.
Which activity do you find the most difficult on WikiAnswers?
Answering question is probably the most difficult task on wiki answers because it requires knowledge on a certain subject, and time to type out a good answer. Other activities such as recategorization and editing alternates are much easier because they don't require much thought. Supervisors can even make changes such as those on a very large scale, but answering questions must usually be done on an individual basis.
