hlist[edit]

Hi PK2. Regarding [1], it seems to me you can add |class=hlist or you can use the {{hlist}} template. But it is necessary to do both? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:20, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits[edit]

Information icon Hi PK2! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Why are you mass-substing Template:anchor?[edit]

Please stop doing that indiscriminately. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 05:28, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop breaking templates[edit]

You're making untested changes you don't understand to templates you don't use. {{JCW-Letter}} is already using " listclass = hlist" class. It's literally the first thing you changed. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:07, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please preserve formatting when you change templates[edit]

See this edit. It is the second one I have cleaned up for you, if I remember correctly. Use Preview and compare the before and after results by switching back and forth between two browser tabs. Save only when the results are the same. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:28, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Language (general concept)[edit]

Hello PK2, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Language (general concept), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Language (general concept).

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|BuySomeApples}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Hey PK2. I appreciate all the effort you've put into maintaining the list. I was thinking, if there are some removed charts you'd like to preserve, maybe we could create a new article on Meta called "List of Wikipedias (charts)" or something like that?

Also, I've been considering the problem of the creation dates being unsourced in the article. It might be difficult, but if we could get a developer to create a table on Meta, it could make sourcing most of the dates much easier. I also had an interesting discussion with GreenC and a few other people about this last year at User talk:GreenC § Wikipedia edition launch dates. Regards.

Unnecessary changes[edit]

Hi, I reverted your edits on Bracket, and I explained why some of the changes were bad in my edit summary, but I just wanted to explain why some of the other changes were unnecessary. The good changes I went ahead and redid.

Firstly, I just wanted to mention that I wrote nonsense "uma dúvida ... Angle bracket pi" (copy-paste error?) in the edit summary, but I actually had that diff backwards and it was an earlier edit that introduced that change. Sorry for thinking that was you.

Changes:

  1. Piped link target capitalization makes no difference. For example,
    [[Writing system#Directionality|directionality]]
    +
    [[writing system#Directionality|directionality]]
    Per WP:PIPE, "In a link, the first letter of a page title is never case-sensitive." So this change had no effect. Plus, article titles normally begin with an uppercase letter anyway, so that's the format you'll see inserted by tools. There's no reason to change it.
  2. Blending piped links makes no difference. For example,
    [[Function (mathematics)|mathematical functions]]
    +
    [[Function (mathematics)|mathematical function]]s
    Since the link label is explicitly specified, there's no advantage to blending, whereas with a non-piped link, it makes the wikicode shorter, like say,
    [[Apple|apples]]
    +
    [[apple]]s
    Although if "apples" already exists as a redirect, it's fine to use it, which is why I didn't bother to redo
    [[phonemes]]
    +
    [[phoneme]]s
  3. At first I thought
    [[Crescent|crescent moon]]
    +
    [[crescent]] moon
    was a good change, but on closer inspection, the article Crescent says the shape is fundamentally about the moon.
  4. I'm not totally opposed to having anchors for every combination of terms (like "Uses of angle brackets" and "Uses of chevrons"), it just seems excessive unless there's a compelling reason to include them. Maybe for consistency?

    For square brackets though, I don't think anchors about "brackets" are useful since the whole page is about "brackets".

    And, I added back the anchors that are useful for technical reasons (like "Uses of angle brackets" to avoid special characters in a link) and for consistency with plural/singular (like "Angle brackets"/"Angle bracket" → "Chevrons"/"Chevron").

In the future you might want to break up your edits so that instead of a big omnibus set of changes all at once, you do one "thing" at a time, like say, 1) improve whitespace in the source code, 2) fix links, 3) blend links, etc. I prefer to do them from least controversial first to most controversial last (or the ones I'm least sure about) so that they can be more easily undone if needed and so that it's easier to read and understand each change. Check out Wikipedia:Good editing practices § The normal editing process. When redoing your edits I ended up doing 9 separate edits.
