Linking

[edit]

Dhaka shouldn’t be linked to Dhaka Division since they are distinct entities, which would mislead readers. Similarly, Bengal shouldn’t be linked to Bengal Presidency for the same reason—they are separate entities. Being an Indian citizen of the Dominion of India and identifying as part of the Indian people are also two different concepts. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 16:16, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read this at MOS:OVERLINK, Disambiguation pages should not be linked from articles unless the link is purposeful, such as in a hatnote. Instead, use a piped link to the appropriate article. For example, use Moana for the Disney character, which appears as Moana and leads to the intended page—instead of Moana, which appears identical but leads to a disambiguation page
There is no rules stated about the following discussion other than personal preferences. Please abstain futility. See MOS:LINKCLARITY for better understanding. James Conan Niag (talk) 17:27, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have also reached out to @Nikkimaria and Wikipedia:WikiProject Geography in the hope that someone will assist in resolving this issue. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 20:54, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are conflating two distinct contexts. Piping disambiguation pages is different from piping two separate geographical entities. MOS:LINKCLARITY supports my stance. It is essential to maintain a clear distinction between Dhaka Division and Dhaka, as well as Bengal Presidency and Bengal. Piping these entities together only detracts from clarity.

The locations at issue shouldn't be linked at all. Per MOS:GEOLINK "For a geographical location expressed as a sequence of two or more territorial units, link only the first unit"; as for the citizenship, Indian nationality law indicates that no separate Indian citizenship existed until 1949 so that entry should be subsumed into the previous one.

@Nikkimaria Does this look good? Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 22:09, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine as far as it goes; I'd also suggest dealing with citizenship per above. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
