I just noticed the change in the re-direct for "60s punk". I was not aware that there had been a discussion about moving its re-direct from garage rock back to proto-punk. I think that the debate needs to be re-opened and the matter re-considered. Garagepunk66 ( talk) 07:44, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

So I am well aware of how hatnotes work and there was a reason for that one (that I'm sure will be contentious), have a look at the link provided in this Google search here, basically Google takes ICI to mean Investment Company Institute so I thought we should have a way to link people to the disambig page (maybe via a different hatnote though) but this is some questionable logic because it isn't our job to deal with Google I understand that. The reason I did it is I Googled ICI looking for Imperial Chemical Industries and was completely unable to find it without manually typing ICI (disambiguation) into the Wikipedia search bar... (couldn't remember the company name and was looking for it) EoRdE6( Come Talk to Me!) 15:59, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

At a quick glance, the first article is a not terrible good stub, which you've edited hence me being here, the other a pretty terrible longer article that equates Political Islam with Islamism. Thus at the top of the article is " For the movement of "Political Islam", see Islamism" while of course when you search for Political Islam you find an article that differentiates it from Islamism. There seem to be a lot of reliable sources discussing "political Islam" but not calling it Islamism. I see it was started by an IP with the edit summary ". (this article is an exact copy of the one censored under the title Islamism, this article replaces that one, and complements militant Islam (on specific groups, tactics, doctrines))" and has been changed radically so that it's hardly the same article.[. (this article is an exact copy of the one censored under the title Islamism, this article replaces that one, and complements militant Islam (on specific groups, tactics, doctrines))] The two articles seem to have developed without editors knowing about the other one. I'm not sure what to do about this. Any suggestions? Take it to a Wikiproject? Strip one and merge? Doug Weller talk 17:15, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Wbm1058, thanks for the clean-up. I noticed on your talk page that you made note of the apparent fact that 57% of Canadians aged 24 to xx have a college degree, while 40% of similarly aged Americans do. You might be interested in a recent book by Bryan Caplan The Case against Education Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money [1] who argues that the US would be better off if the 40% were 20%. Cheers, Acad Ronin ( talk) 19:29, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Definitely agree with you. I teach part-time in an US "Ivy League" school, and long ago had some exposure to the products of the Swiss apprenticeship system. I would like to see much more use in the US of apprenticeships, and far less of Liberal Arts. Most of my students would be much better off working rather than sitting in classes they have no interest in just to get the credential, which they need because the people they are competing with have the credential. That part of schooling is just a Prisoner's Dilemma. And there is no need for doctors or lawyers to have an undergrad degree. Cheers, Acad Ronin ( talk) 14:51, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Regarding your undoing of my edit here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Dypsis_lutescens&oldid=prev&diff=834449271
1. "Areca" palm is a common name for several species of palm. While it's the first "hit" on Google for "Dysis lutescens", it is used in the Philippines as an alternative name for the "Betel" palm. Given that the same word can lead to two completely different species, a disambiguation of some sort is needed, whether a "redirect" or not.
2. Rather than "undo", why not "fix" the issue? If you're good at the tech side of Wikipedia, please consider repairing the issue rather than undoing it. Because at the end of the day, I identified a problem that needs a solution and I applied a solution. But then you undid it, so now what? Ryoung122 21:28, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia is about "verifiability", not "truth". And my statement was "truthful" to the best of my knowledge.
Moving on to the real issue here: the vernacular meaning of "areca", a common name for several different palm species, leads to confusion...thus the need for disambiguation. I'm proposing that the most-common hit result on Google (dypsis lutescens) be the default return and that disambiguations be given for other species that also are sometimes referred to by the same name.
I know a lot about palms...it's the Wiki-redirecting system that I'm not as familiar with. Ryoung122 17:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. I added a third disambiguation link to the areca palm page. I'll discuss this further on the WikiProject plants section. Ryoung122 18:00, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi there! A proposal has been made for the Ohio Wikimedians User Group to release a statement in support of net neutrality, amid similar statements of support from the Wikimedia Foundation and other U.S. affiliates. If you're interested and have thoughts on the matter, please comment here (within the day if possible; if there's support we'd like to make our stance known as soon as possible). Thank you! ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 05:59, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Sorry about my change to {{ age in days}} breaking articles using {{ uspop}}. Thanks for reverting. I monitored various things but did not look at Category:ParserFunction errors which would have shown the problem. The issue was that the old template accepts weird combinations of syntax and {{ uspop}} contains
{{Age in days|{{Uspop-startyear}}|{{Uspop-startmonth}}|day1=1 }}
which, using the current values of {{ Uspop-startyear}} and {{ Uspop-startmonth}}, is equivalent to:
{{Age in days|2013|12|day1=1 }}
In other words, year and month are given as positional parameters, but the day uses a named parameter. Using the module, the fix is to omit day1=
(or insert year1=
and month1=
). I intend trying that soon but I will first attempt to see where {{
age in days}} is used in templates to determine if others would need similar fixes.

Hello. I do not know so much about Korean name-spelling. But one of these two redirects Kim Seok-Jin [2] and Kim Seok-jin [3] should have {{ R from member}} and one of them {{ R from typo}}.

Hi, these are the discussions here and here that confirm WP:Orphan that orphan tags should only be added if there are no valid incoming mainspace links not including disambig links so the orphan few parameter is in contravention of WP:Orphan and consensus, thanks Atlantic306 ( talk) 17:27, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
|few=
and
Category:Low linked articles. I also read the followup discussion
"Possible new bot?" further down that archive page and the sidebar discussion at
Wikipedia talk:Orphan/Archive 1#Isolated articles. Yet further down
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Orphanage/Archive 2 I see a
proposed change to Template:Orphan. That discussion had three new participants who neither participated in nor acknowledged the two earlier discussions. The third discussion resulted in the (bold) addition of the three additional parameters that have caused so much trouble over the succeeding years. Thus, the proposed
Category:Articles needing additional links or
Category:Isolated articles became
Category:Low linked articles. Note that per
Template talk:Orphan#few parameter this "few" parameter continues to cause much confusion. This has been on my back burner for quite a while, as I hadn't really seen a strong consensus on what to do about it. Now that I've read more of the background discussions prior to its creation, and the more recent village pump discussion you pointed me to, I feel more confident in the resolution. I'll take this back to
Template talk:Orphan for a more definitive resolution soon. It's helpful to see that
Category:Low linked articles is now empty. –

Does anything require temporary whitelisting still. I think that, in the end, it would be best to disable the links by removing the preceding http://. Threre is generally no need for a working link in archived discussions, it does not change the meaning of the post, and to those really interested there is just a minor inconvenience to have to copy/paste the link. — Dirk Beetstra T C 02:49, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Heya... Just poking you to double check if I might have borked the bot or otherwise done something wrong (or right) when re-opening this previously-closed, now re-listed discussion. In theory (if handled like DRV) one would assume that we'd want the discussion to re-appear as "new" for the purposes of AfD date categorization, for example, but I dunno if that's the convention at MRV or if the bot otherwise knows how to handle it. Also, feel free to rewrite history/fix it if I did something wrong. :P -- slakr\ talk / 02:36, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi there - apologies for the late notice, but I wanted to make sure Ohio Wikimedians are aware. Proposal submissions and scholarship applications for WikiConference North America 2018 (Oct 18-21 in Columbus) are due today (August 15). If you have any projects or ideas to share through a presentation, roundtable, etc., I encourage you to make a submission. If you would be traveling from out of Columbus to attend the conference and need funding for a hotel + transportation, $500 scholarships are being offered (apply here).
We have also started an accommodations and transportation guide for visitors here - if you have information and recommendations to add, I encourage you to edit the page.
I know some folks have expressed interest in helping out with the event. We'll have public information very soon for opportunities to help with logistics and sponsorship, as well as a sign-up form for volunteering to help out at the conference itself.

If you'd like to attend, I encourage you to register as soon as possible - especially if you're interested in the pre-conference events, as they're filling up rather quickly. If you're on Facebook, we also have an attendees group for folks to coordinate travel, logistics, and ask questions. We also have a new volunteer coordinator, who is working on creating the on-boarding process for volunteers to help out at the event - you'll hear from me again when that's ready, if volunteering interests you.

Hello ( User talk:Wbm1058)
I have to revert your edit, and adjust my last entry to what your intentions describe, without the additional fiction.
Fact: In contemporary Navigation there has been no use of the word Lodestar for hundreds of years. Difficult as it may often be to prove a negative, this one is a simple exception. Lodestar has not appeared in any current known works of navigational instruction, not in Bowditch (that goes back 200+years), Reeds, HO 249 (my bible for many years) or any non fiction or non ancient-history work of navigation you can find. At the risk of touting "original research" here, my 30+ years as a Master Mariner, 20 years instructing mariners and aviators, I can pass that along to you as gospel.
I see that in your brief torrent of edits, you changed the page from a disambiguation page, apparently a claimed forte, but the Talk:Lodestar page still reflects disambiguation categories.
You cite WP:DDD in your walk back of my edit, for "one blue link per line in disambiguation", that's fair, thank you, but your amendment, apart from being false, fails the "Keep descriptions short" requirement, also in WP:DDD.
Happy to learn from you some minutia of editing Wikipedia. I'm Happy to educate the rest. Happy to hear a well cited response, but please lets work together here for a professional factual encyclopedia. I don't do "barnstars" or self-accolades. That may have to change.

Did you intend to disambiguate both these terms? One still redirects to Polaris, now without a hatnote. Lithopsian ( talk) 19:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello again Wbm1058
I do not know for sure how you come by your edits, I'm guessing you aggregate google searches, but this does not always produce facts.
The net result of your torrent of edits has been corruptions of the actual meaning of Lodestar.
Lodestar is not a person, though it may be used as a descriptor or qualifier, or as an adjective, but that is self evident, and perhaps more pertinent to wiktionary.
The use of a lodestar for navigating anything but planet Earth is obviously conjecture. It is a terrestrial phenomenon with regard to the pole star, unless you have superhuman resources.
I do not enjoy reverting edits, it wastes my valuable time. Please be more judicious here. Your knowledge of wikipedia editing minutia is better than mine, but your approach to knowledge is atrocious. My objective is to improve encyclopedic value, I don't think you appreciate that. I dread to think what other subjects you may have affected negatively, but a senior editor may need consulting if I have to deal with much more.
Anyway, regards Ssaco ( talk) 19:00, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Per your edit summary I have followed up with a TFD. Just FYI, the user in question was blocked for the very fact that they created templates like this one in the first place. This wasn't a "I'm going to CSD a page when the user can't defend themselves". The user's block was because they have been creating useless and disruptive templates. After multiple warnings, including being told by multiple admins not to make ANY edits in the Template namespace, they created yet another template. That was why I went straight to a CSD. The template is redundant and has no transclusions except on the documentation pages. -- Zackmann ( Talk to me/ What I been doing) 01:04, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

In 2016, you deleted That's Not Me (disambiguation) because disambiguation was not needed. Since that time, That's Not Me (film) has been added to That's Not Me and That's Not Me (Skepta song), and a handful of DABMENTIONs.

Hi Wbm1058, I see the redirects zero, one, two target the number articles (the primary topic of the respective numbers 0 1 2). I was surprised that three up until at least nine redirect to their dabs, changed fairly recently by you. Is there any discussion? A quick look finds Talk:Zero where the same change of target to the dab was reverted, and one was once changed to target the dab, but that didn't stick long. I think they were better before.

About my {{ SimpleNuclide}} merge-by-Redirect edit you reverted [5] (es: "premature; 62 transclusions yet").
|Link=
(as first unnamed parameter)? Because, this parameter use is the only difference between old {{
SimpleNuclide}} and new {{SimpleNuclide2}} (new=2009 BTW). So, once this category is empty, there is no problem merging the templates.|Link=

Did you happen to check the two Simpsons episodes list articles before you changed the season articles to see what the final effect on the size was? I'm just curious.

I see that the syntax in {{episode list/sublist}} was changed. That makes managing these splits a lot easier than it was the last time I engineered one. Less things that need to be simultaneously changed. I found that I was four series short of having enough include-bytes to make a full List of Casualty episodes. But there's room for all of the List of Holby City episodes (1,911,556 / 2,097,152 bytes), albeit not much headroom for future expansion without finding further efficiencies. We'll see what effect this has on the requested move there. – wbm1058 ( talk) 00:59, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

The RM for List of Casualty episodes* has closed with the closer moving List of Casualty episodes to List of Casualty episodes (series 21–present) as well. That decision appears to have been made without consensus. The RM discussion was only for a move of List of Casualty episodes* to List of Casualty episodes (series 1-20). The proposal to move List of Casualty episodes was made by one editor and opposed by me. No other editors commented on this part of the proposal so I don't see any consensus to move List of Casualty episodes. Do you agree with that? -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 13:46, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
On a separate, but related note, if they're going to name articles like this, there's really no need for any of the efforts that we've made. The articles should be separate and all out of scope content should really be removed. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 14:03, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your help -- and your patience, in the past. Such as , e.g., circa << "18:38, 30 July 2018 (UTC)" >> ... (and iirc a few other replies, before and after that) ... at Talk:MediaWiki ... in a section there called [something like] << 'Is there still some "HOPE" for ... (this certain idea about improving "What links here") -- ? --' >>.
I have a new one which (big surprise) might "also" have been initially asked / "posted" in a clumsy place (/slash "the wrong place").
The new question can be seen at Talk:Jordin_Sparks in a section called [[Talk:Jordin_Sparks#Confusing_mixup_regarding_footnote_number_"[1]"]] (well, shoot, the double-square-brackets "linkifier" will not take that! Why? I do not know; ... Oh well ...) it does have a sub-section called Talk:Jordin_Sparks#Expert_advice_needed_here?_(I_think_so...)) [there! that link worked OK!];
One of the main questions is in the sub-section " Talk:Jordin_Sparks#Is_this_a_BUG?"; and even if that section were to get archived, or something ... (which iirc could turn the above useful hyperlink[s] into instances of " dead link"-type disappointment), still ... the URL of the DIFF listing would still work OK! [right?] ("at least", to aid one in finding the archived section).
My apologies if this is the wrong place (or the wrong way) to have asked where to post that question.
Any advice would be appreciated. -- Mike Schwartz ( talk) 21:48, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

At a quick glance, the first article is a not terrible good stub, which you've edited hence me being here, the other a pretty terrible longer article that equates Political Islam with Islamism. Thus at the top of the article is " For the movement of "Political Islam", see Islamism" while of course when you search for Political Islam you find an article that differentiates it from Islamism. There seem to be a lot of reliable sources discussing "political Islam" but not calling it Islamism. I see it was started by an IP with the edit summary ". (this article is an exact copy of the one censored under the title Islamism, this article replaces that one, and complements militant Islam (on specific groups, tactics, doctrines))" and has been changed radically so that it's hardly the same article.[. (this article is an exact copy of the one censored under the title Islamism, this article replaces that one, and complements militant Islam (on specific groups, tactics, doctrines))] The two articles seem to have developed without editors knowing about the other one.

Definitely agree with you. I teach part-time in an US "Ivy League" school, and long ago had some exposure to the products of the Swiss apprenticeship system. I would like to see much more use in the US of apprenticeships, and far less of Liberal Arts. Most of my students would be much better off working rather than sitting in classes they have no interest in just to get the credential, which they need because the people they are competing with have the credential. That part of schooling is just a Prisoner's Dilemma. And there is no need for doctors or lawyers to have an undergrad degree. Cheers, Acad Ronin ( talk) 14:51, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Regarding your undoing of my edit here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Dypsis_lutescens&oldid=prev&diff=834449271
1. "Areca" palm is a common name for several species of palm. While it's the first "hit" on Google for "Dysis lutescens", it is used in the Philippines as an alternative name for the "Betel" palm. Given that the same word can lead to two completely different species, a disambiguation of some sort is needed, whether a "redirect" or not.
2. Rather than "undo", why not "fix" the issue? If you're good at the tech side of Wikipedia, please consider repairing the issue rather than undoing it. Because at the end of the day, I identified a problem that needs a solution and I applied a solution. But then you undid it, so now what? Ryoung122 21:28, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia is about "verifiability", not "truth". And my statement was "truthful" to the best of my knowledge.
Moving on to the real issue here: the vernacular meaning of "areca", a common name for several different palm species, leads to confusion...thus the need for disambiguation. I'm proposing that the most-common hit result on Google (dypsis lutescens) be the default return and that disambiguations be given for other species that also are sometimes referred to by the same name.
I know a lot about palms...it's the Wiki-redirecting system that I'm not as familiar with. Ryoung122 17:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. I added a third disambiguation link to the areca palm page. I'll discuss this further on the WikiProject plants section. Ryoung122 18:00, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Sorry about my change to {{ age in days}} breaking articles using {{ uspop}}. Thanks for reverting. I monitored various things but did not look at Category:ParserFunction errors which would have shown the problem. The issue was that the old template accepts weird combinations of syntax and {{ uspop}} contains
{{Age in days|{{Uspop-startyear}}|{{Uspop-startmonth}}|day1=1 }}
which, using the current values of {{ Uspop-startyear}} and {{ Uspop-startmonth}}, is equivalent to:
{{Age in days|2013|12|day1=1 }}
In other words, year and month are given as positional parameters, but the day uses a named parameter. Using the module, the fix is to omit day1=
(or insert year1=
and month1=
). I intend trying that soon but I will first attempt to see where {{
age in days}} is used in templates to determine if others would need similar fixes.

"Possible new bot?" further down that archive page and the sidebar discussion at
Wikipedia talk:Orphan/Archive 1#Isolated articles. Yet further down
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Orphanage/Archive 2 I see a
proposed change to Template:Orphan. That discussion had three new participants who neither participated in nor acknowledged the two earlier discussions. The third discussion resulted in the (bold) addition of the three additional parameters that have caused so much trouble over the succeeding years. Thus, the proposed
Category:Articles needing additional links or
Category:Isolated articles became
Category:Low linked articles. Note that per
Template talk:Orphan#few parameter this "few" parameter continues to cause much confusion. This has been on my back burner for quite a while, as I hadn't really seen a strong consensus on what to do about it. Now that I've read more of the background discussions prior to its creation, and the more recent village pump discussion you pointed me to, I feel more confident in the resolution. I'll take this back to
Template talk:Orphan for a more definitive resolution soon. It's helpful to see that

We have also started an accommodations and transportation guide for visitors here - if you have information and recommendations to add, I encourage you to edit the page.
I know some folks have expressed interest in helping out with the event. We'll have public information very soon for opportunities to help with logistics and sponsorship, as well as a sign-up form for volunteering to help out at the conference itself. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you! ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 18:10, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello! Kevin from the Ohio Wikimedians and WikiConference North America here. As a quick reminder, WikiConference NA is happening Oct 18-21 at the Ohio State University Libraries. The schedule has been posted (more to come), and registration is open as well. If you'd like to attend, I encourage you to register as soon as possible - especially if you're interested in the pre-conference events, as they're filling up rather quickly. If you're on Facebook, we also have an attendees group for folks to coordinate travel, logistics, and ask questions. We also have a new volunteer coordinator, who is working on creating the on-boarding process for volunteers to help out at the event - you'll hear from me again when that's ready, if volunteering interests you. Any questions, feel free to reach me on my talk page. Thanks and hope to see you later this month! ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 08:17, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello ( User talk:Wbm1058)
I have to revert your edit, and adjust my last entry to what your intentions describe, without the additional fiction.
Fact: In contemporary Navigation there has been no use of the word Lodestar for hundreds of years. Difficult as it may often be to prove a negative, this one is a simple exception. Lodestar has not appeared in any current known works of navigational instruction, not in Bowditch (that goes back 200+years), Reeds, HO 249 (my bible for many years) or any non fiction or non ancient-history work of navigation you can find. At the risk of touting "original research" here, my 30+ years as a Master Mariner, 20 years instructing mariners and aviators, I can pass that along to you as gospel.
I see that in your brief torrent of edits, you changed the page from a disambiguation page, apparently a claimed forte, but the Talk:Lodestar page still reflects disambiguation categories.
You cite WP:DDD in your walk back of my edit, for "one blue link per line in disambiguation", that's fair, thank you, but your amendment, apart from being false, fails the "Keep descriptions short" requirement, also in WP:DDD.
Happy to learn from you some minutia of editing Wikipedia. I'm Happy to educate the rest. Happy to hear a well cited response, but please lets work together here for a professional factual encyclopedia. I don't do "barnstars" or self-accolades. That may have to change.

Did you intend to disambiguate both these terms? One still redirects to Polaris, now without a hatnote. Lithopsian ( talk) 19:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello again Wbm1058
I do not know for sure how you come by your edits, I'm guessing you aggregate google searches, but this does not always produce facts.
The net result of your torrent of edits has been corruptions of the actual meaning of Lodestar.
Lodestar is not a person, though it may be used as a descriptor or qualifier, or as an adjective, but that is self evident, and perhaps more pertinent to wiktionary.
The use of a lodestar for navigating anything but planet Earth is obviously conjecture. It is a terrestrial phenomenon with regard to the pole star, unless you have superhuman resources.
I do not enjoy reverting edits, it wastes my valuable time. Please be more judicious here. Your knowledge of wikipedia editing minutia is better than mine, but your approach to knowledge is atrocious. My objective is to improve encyclopedic value, I don't think you appreciate that. I dread to think what other subjects you may have affected negatively, but a senior editor may need consulting if I have to deal with much more.
Anyway, regards Ssaco ( talk) 19:00, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Per your edit summary I have followed up with a TFD. Just FYI, the user in question was blocked for the very fact that they created templates like this one in the first place. This wasn't a "I'm going to CSD a page when the user can't defend themselves". The user's block was because they have been creating useless and disruptive templates. After multiple warnings, including being told by multiple admins not to make ANY edits in the Template namespace, they created yet another template. That was why I went straight to a CSD. The template is redundant and has no transclusions except on the documentation pages. -- Zackmann ( Talk to me/ What I been doing) 01:04, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Wbm1058, I see the redirects zero, one, two target the number articles (the primary topic of the respective numbers 0 1 2). I was surprised that three up until at least nine redirect to their dabs, changed fairly recently by you. Is there any discussion? A quick look finds Talk:Zero where the same change of target to the dab was reverted, and one was once changed to target the dab, but that didn't stick long. I think they were better before.

About my {{ SimpleNuclide}} merge-by-Redirect edit you reverted [5] (es: "premature; 62 transclusions yet").
|Link=
(as first unnamed parameter)? Because, this parameter use is the only difference between old {{
SimpleNuclide}} and new {{SimpleNuclide2}} (new=2009 BTW). So, once this category is empty, there is no problem merging the templates.|Link=
parameter. So these transclusions do work as intended, before & after merge.So with this, do you still see objections to that merge? - DePiep ( talk) 22:34, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Just an FYI, List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes is now broken as the Simpsons was. I'm not looking forward to fixing this one. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 04:37, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
Did you happen to check the two Simpsons episodes list articles before you changed the season articles to see what the final effect on the size was? I'm just curious. I haven't got JWB installed, otherwise I'd try it at the season articles linked from List of Casualty episodes. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 18:15, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
I see that the syntax in {{episode list/sublist}} was changed. That makes managing these splits a lot easier than it was the last time I engineered one. Less things that need to be simultaneously changed. I found that I was four series short of having enough include-bytes to make a full List of Casualty episodes. But there's room for all of the List of Holby City episodes (1,911,556 / 2,097,152 bytes), albeit not much headroom for future expansion without finding further efficiencies. We'll see what effect this has on the requested move there. – wbm1058 ( talk) 00:59, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

The RM for List of Casualty episodes* has closed with the closer moving List of Casualty episodes to List of Casualty episodes (series 21–present) as well. That decision appears to have been made without consensus. The RM discussion was only for a move of List of Casualty episodes* to List of Casualty episodes (series 1-20). The proposal to move List of Casualty episodes was made by one editor and opposed by me. No other editors commented on this part of the proposal so I don't see any consensus to move List of Casualty episodes. Do you agree with that? -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 13:46, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
On a separate, but related note, if they're going to name articles like this, there's really no need for any of the efforts that we've made. The articles should be separate and all out of scope content should really be removed. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 14:03, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello, and the happiest of New Year's to you and yours. It's Poppy!. Good to have met you on the rocky Wikipedia road. Randy Kryn ( talk) 04:35, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your help -- and your patience, in the past. Such as , e.g., circa << "18:38, 30 July 2018 (UTC)" >> ... (and iirc a few other replies, before and after that) ... at Talk:MediaWiki ... in a section there called [something like] << 'Is there still some "HOPE" for ... (this certain idea about improving "What links here") -- ? --' >>.
I have a new one which (big surprise) might "also" have been initially asked / "posted" in a clumsy place (/slash "the wrong place").
The new question can be seen at Talk:Jordin_Sparks in a section called [[Talk:Jordin_Sparks#Confusing_mixup_regarding_footnote_number_"[1]"]] (well, shoot, the double-square-brackets "linkifier" will not take that! Why? I do not know; ... Oh well ...) it does have a sub-section called Talk:Jordin_Sparks#Expert_advice_needed_here?_(I_think_so...)) [there! that link worked OK!];
One of the main questions is in the sub-section " Talk:Jordin_Sparks#Is_this_a_BUG?"; and even if that section were to get archived, or something ... (which iirc could turn the above useful hyperlink[s] into instances of " dead link"-type disappointment), still ... the URL of the DIFF listing would still work OK! [right?] ("at least", to aid one in finding the archived section).
My apologies if this is the wrong place (or the wrong way) to have asked where to post that question.
Any advice would be appreciated. -- Mike Schwartz ( talk) 21:48, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
