The Countryside page has a lot of unneeded categories, that for some reason I can't delete. When I edit with the classic editor, the already existing categories don't show in the categories section, which makes me not be able to remove them. It only shows recently added categories.

The categories that should be removed from this page are:

• Lots
• Residential lots
• Lots with 2 floors
• Huge lots
• Occupied lots

This also happens with the visual editor. SimDestroyer (talk) 19:54, July 3, 2017 (UTC)

Those categories were automatically added by the {{Lot}} template, and so can't be removed through traditional means. The template has a |cat = no parameter that you can use to disable the categories. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 20:56, July 3, 2017 (UTC)

I have disabled the category-adding feature for the template on that page. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 20:57, July 3, 2017 (UTC)
