Adrignola, please share your thoughts about whether to keep or delete "Micronations". You are being notified because you have contributed to this work. |
When you move a page, please be sure those that link to it are updated. Thanks!
[edit source]Back on 17 March 2011, you moved Making an Island/Declaring Independence to Micronations/Starting your own micronation without leaving a redirect. A link on the Wikipedia page Micronation had gone to that older address since 4 November 2005, and was not corrected until I did so yesterday. That’s eleven years of a broken wikilink. In the left-hand margin of articles, there’s a blue-linked “What links here”, which shows such dependencies. Please use that before making a move, to see what needs to be changed, and make those changes accordingly after the move. Or else at least leave a redirect, so it can be followed. Thank you! – .Raven (discuss • contribs) 23:47, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- What makes you think "What links here?" works across different projects? It doesn't. It is also not a requirement for any project to consider other projects nor to maintain links between them. The Wikibooks policy is not to have endless redirects, so we don't. It is Wikipedia's job to treat other project links the same as an external link and maintain them properly. What you are asking is the equivalent of showing up at the BBC to complain that they moved a page and didn't create a "redirect" and therefore broke Wikipedia.

Refend.
[edit source]https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Refend&diff=next&oldid=1917894
This apparently broke stuff, in that the corresponding open tag from {{refbegin}} is in a number of situations not actually added to paqes, whereas the corresponding end tag is. Perhaps you could take a moment to match the respective constructions from BOTH templates,so that the intended constructions are not malformed. (Using a DL solely for indenting is a BAD practice anyway.) ShakespeareFan00 (discuss • contribs) 10:12, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- You do realise that edit was made over 12 years ago? MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 10:51, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes. I know it's an old edit, but it's STILL a technical problem that needs resolving. ShakespeareFan00 (discuss • contribs) 10:54, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- I have stepped away from any editing on Wikimedia websites so I have forgotten most everything I knew about templates, much less what exactly my intention was with that edit over 12 years ago. As I am no longer an admin here I can also no longer even edit that template as it is protected. Someone should be able to help in the reading room. – Adrignola discuss 11:45, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
