`  == 2012-10-23 ==  A plain reading of your topic ban  on ``category-related edits outside the main namespace`` includes edits such as     as well as the edits to the ``Category`` and ``Category talk`` namespace that you have recently made. Fram already warned you about your topic ban in the section I linked, and I am certain you are aware of the topic ban, because you made an edit on Oct 17  regarding several of the pages that you edited in the diffs I gave above.  Although I think it is an unfortunate turn of events, because of the topic ban violations I have blocked this account from editing for 72 hours. I chose this length because it was the previous length of a block of this account for the same reason (block log)  If you are looking for guidance about what to avoid, I would suggest: * Do not add or remove categories from any page outside the main namespace, either as a standalone edit or as part of another edit. * Do not edit the ``Category`` or ``Category talk`` namespaces at all. I believe that avoiding those things would keep you safely inside the limits established by the topic ban. — Carl ( ·  `
