>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #3383004. --> Reported by: [leslieg](https://www.drupal.org/user/1746792) >>> <h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3> <p>We need to migrate the current "Categories" associated with a module project on Drupal.org to the new list of Categories and to take into account that we will be instituting a limit on the number of categories selected to three.</p> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p>With the limited cardinality of three (3) Categories allowed to be selected per module project, we propose simply truncating the existing list to the first three categories selected. (NOTE: ideally, if we can notify maintainers ahead of time to clean up their categories, all the better.)</p> <p>*Notes: </p> <ul> <li>The &ldquo;compliance&rdquo; category has no categories mapping to it. After a survey of the top modules that belong in this category, they are currently misclassified and should be re-classified manually after the migration.</li> <li>True &ldquo;example&rdquo; modules belong in Developer Tools; however, the bulk of modules categorized with this are not true developer examples, so we recommend dropping and manually allowing true example modules to be tagged correctly after the migration.</li> <li>Some of the deleted terms we intend to resurrect as a separate filter called &ldquo;ecosystem&rdquo; which will show modules that depend on but extend another core component or contributed module (i.e. Views or Webform)</li> <li>Ones marked "Delete" are to be deleted and we don't care (because that data isn't migrating anywhere). That is, they could be deleted at any time (ex.g. prior to the migration). The ones marked "delete-after-migration" have data in them, but once we migrate them, should have 0 nodes associated with that term, and can <em>then</em> be deleted.</li> </ul> <h3>Deployment</h3> <p>Drop categories:</p> <ul> <li>Community</li> <li>Content Construction Kit (CCK)</li> <li>Drush</li> <li>Education</li> <li>Examples</li> <li>Features Package</li> <li>Mobile</li> <li>Novelty</li> <li>Organic Groups (OG)</li> <li>Other</li> <li>Project management</li> <li>RDF</li> <li>Theme Enhancements</li> <li>Views</li> </ul> <p>Rename &amp;
