Adding links to disambiguation pages
[edit]Hi there, I'm AukusRuckus and I just wanted to let you know about the wikilinks you've recently added to some article pages:
Your
recent edit to Ceolwulf of Northumbria included one or more links to the page
Orthodox Church, which is a disambiguation page. This type of page is intended to direct users to more specific topics. Ordinarily we try to avoid creating links to disambiguation pages, since it is preferable to link directly to the specific topic relevant to the context.
You can help Wikipedia by trying to add only links that refer directly to the most relevant topic, which you can check by previewing your edit BEFORE saving it, then clicking on the link you have added. If it goes to a page that is shown as a "Disambiguation page" (it will say near the bottom of the page: This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the title [Orthodox Church]), please try to find a better link to add to the article. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia.
There are also some earlier ones with the same link added (which I think were possibly your edits too):
- [1] Pope Marcellus I
- [2] Speusippus, Eleusippus and Melapsippus
- [3] Ceolwulf of Northumbria
- [4] Emebert
- [5] St Adalsinda
- [6] Pope Sylvester I
- [7] Pope Zosimus
- [8] Adalard of Corbie
- [9] Seiriol
- [10] Sabinus of Spoleto
- [11] Martinianus (bishop of Milan)
- [12] Saint Hunger
- [13] Trasilla and Emiliana
I really appreciate your efforts to make the pages more complete, but it is better to link directly to the related page rather than the "DAB" (disambiguation) page. You might like to try linking to Eastern Orthodox Church instead, or one of the other links shown on the Orthodox Church DAB page. Please drop by my talk page if you have any questions or comments on this. Thanks for your edits and welcome to Wikipedia. AukusRuckus (talk) 10:56, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
