Category:Pages with raw sortkeys

Pages on which a sortkey has been used with a raw category.

For example, [[Category:IPA symbols|B]].

These are a priority to replace with category templates, since they are hard-coded and override the {{DEFAULTSORT:}} value for the page. This causes problems if there are any changes to the sorting scheme for the category, because there is no way of changing them centrally.

By comparison, raw categories which have no sortkey are less of a problem, because they will use the {{DEFAULTSORT:}} value; this can be centrally controlled and is designed to be language-neutral, so avoids the issue of different editors using multiple different sorting schemes for the same category. However, they should still be replaced with category templates, since there may be additional language-specific sorting rules which cannot otherwise be applied.
