Linking names

edit

I saw that you created a fair number of wikilinks in this edit at Straight pride. Some were good, but a couple I undid -- someone reading a straight pride article is unlikely to need an explanation on media (communication), for example. But one a wanted to call attention to: you saw the name Glenn Bishop, I bet you checked and saw that we have an article Glenn Bishop, and thought it would be a good link. However, with names, it's a good idea to check if the person you are linking to is the same as the person being discussed in the article where you're placing the link... and this is particularly true with common names like "Glenn" and "Bishop". It seems rather unlikely that the person hosting a protest in Canada is that retired Australian cricketeer who we have an article on. So it's a good idea to check if the person you are linking to is the same person being mentioned in the article, and particularly important when one of those people is involved in actions which some may view as disreputable.

Thanks for seeking to improve Wikipedia! -- Nat Gertler (talk) 13:02, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, about 50% of the links added here to Pottery, are MOS:OVERLINKING. Johnbod (talk) 14:18, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Convenient shortcuts

edit

FYI: in your edit to Craft, you didn't needed to write [[Anthropologist|anthropologists]]. You can just write [[anthropologist]]s. Article titles are case insensitive and you may extend the wiki link with, for example, s or ism or anything else that makes sense. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 09:14, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

thank you. i have understood Nity Exam (talk) 09:49, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
My <nowiki> markup was just to display the wiki syntax of opening and closing double ]s without invoking them. It is never used in articles. This edit shows what to do. (Your original version worked fine and was not invalid, but just gave you extra work that you didn't need to do.) --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 10:05, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cristero Museum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Church tower. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
