US 27 and US 127
[edit]I don't know where you got your information, but it's wrong. All 3dUSs would be mainline highways in the sense that they aren't special routes, i.e. not alternate/business/bypass/truck routes. US 131 is just as much of a mainline highway as US 31, but the various Bus. US 131s in Michigan would not be mainline highways. However, US 127 is still a child of its parent US 27. Also, US 127 is not an extension of US 27. US 27 starts in Miami and ends in Fort Wayne, Indiana. US 127 branches off US 27 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and ends south of Grayling, Michigan. Because US 27, the parent, was truncated on paper in 1999 and on signage in 2002, and because US 127, the child, was extended, the two highways no longer meet a second time. That means that you can't say that US 127 is an extension of US 27.
In any case, you've made 10 edits here on Wikipedia in the last 4 days. All of them have been reverted. Your additions to List of Interstate Highways in Michigan added unneeded information. The termini of those highways in the tables reflects how the infoboxes in the individual articles are formatted. (Also, we don't tend to capitalize the word "exit" as it's not a proper noun/name, even with a number.) Your edits to the Portal:U.S. Roads header as well as to United States Numbered Highways were based on the misconceptions or misinformation I've attempted to correct and explain above. We do value new contributors, but you might want to make sure that you're grounding your additions in actual facts in the future. Imzadi 1979 → 16:32, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Problem with your custom signature
[edit]You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
- Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
- Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
- Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
- Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
- Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.
More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:03, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
