how do I archive a category?  Or, disable a category?

Why would you want to archive a category, if it's even possible?

[+FamilieFrohne]

If the category is in the public directory and has entries, there is no way to remove it - at least for us normal users. A (database) admin may remove it, but surely he won't do it if not forced by legal reasons.

 

So: as Max and 99 pointed out: WHY do you want to delete a category?

And the second interesting question would be: WHAT is the offending category?

[+Thot]

Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. 

 

I would like to have no additional waymarks added to the category.

[+Alfouine]

Could you give us the name of the category ?

It is the Outhouses category.

It's not possible to archive a category, but you can promote new officers to manage the category if you do not have time to do it

A category belongs to Waymarking, and once it's approved in Peer review, it's forever

If you are looking for a follow up - I'm willing to volunteer in this category.

You are the leader of this group.

If you are uninterested in continuing with this category just promote a new leader.

Your enrollment is off. I would join the group and willing to take it over.

How many officers in the group, if you drop out it could leave the group/category struggling without sufficient officers.

Are you referring to the Outhouses Category?

Or more general? A minimum of three officers including the leader.

More of a general comment, but specifically Outhouses if the OP is the only active officer. (I haven't checked out the category to see who the officers are.)

If a Category is at the minimum number of officers required, and the one and only active officer drops out, there may be no one to promote new officers and keep the group active. Without intervention from Wayfrog (or others)

It is with the deepest regret, to inform the Waymarking community that Thot  passed away. 

Mrs. Thot is the OP. 

The Outhouses category is under new management.
