Sino- en-dash

Hi, PharyngealImplosive7. Why do you think Sino-Tibetan languages, etc should have an en-dash? It doesn't seem to fit within the en-dash cases of MOS:HYPHEN. Kanguole 10:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, MOS seems to suggest that you shouldn’t use a hyphen unless the previous word is modifying the next. I don’t think that “Sino” is modifying “Tibetan”. It’s a little bold, I know.

This is what WP:Dashes (in page titles section) has to say about it: “ In article titles, do not use a hyphen (-) as a substitute for an en dash, for example in eye–hand span (since eye does not modify hand).” PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 10:10, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The difference is that "Sino" by itself isn't a word, so this isn't a conjuction of words as described by MOS:ENBETWEEN. Rather this is intra-word punctuation, for which hyphens are used. Kanguole 10:22, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see. You could revert my edits, or start a discussion on the talk page. Either is fine by me. PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 10:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll revert them. You could start a discussion somewhere, but everyone seems to describe Sino- as a prefix. Kanguole 10:31, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Double spaces

Please do not remove double spacing from articles. Many of us find the wikitext more readable with sentences clearly separated, and it does not affect the display. WP:COSMETICBOT advises against making such changes in bulk, especially with JWB, etc. MOS:DOUBLESPACE has more information. Thanks, Certes (talk) 10:12, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I never saw the policy and did not know that they would become rendered as one space. Thanks for letting me know. PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 14:21, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi PharyngealImplosive7. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 14:31, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The use of sfn and other short form reference templates

Hi PharyngealImplosive7. Short form reference templates such as {{sfn}} just create a hyperlink to a full cite elsewhere in the article. If you use them on their own they just create an error, tracked in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors. If you're going to be using such templates I would suggest turning on the associated error messages. Details of how to do so can be found in the tracking category. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 17:35, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I will from now onwards. Thanks for letting me know. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 17:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any questions or difficulties you're always welcome to ask on my user talk page. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 23:05, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for letting me know. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 23:07, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question about User Talk

Hey there, thanks for the tip on the Filter list, I just wanted some clarification. My understanding was that if someone's edits were disruptive, vandalism, etc. we notify them on their user page instead of the article talk? The user in question has done this over-tagging on 40+ articles, not just the one linked. - AquilaFasciata (talk | contribs) 21:11, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
