On the use of Template:Anbl

User:Joy, please note that Template:Anbl is a wrapper for Template:Anl, the use of which was disallowed for pages performing disambiguation like functions per discussion at Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation/Archive 50#Use of annotated links for the following reasons:

• They contain formatting that is not in line with the long-established formatting for disambiguation entries at MOS:DAB.
• The text of the descriptions is frequently not optimal for disambiguation pages, as it may be neither distinguishing nor succinct.
• They would remove control of the text from the disambiguation page itself, and allow disambiguation pages to be modified without appearing in the edit history of the page itself, or in notifications relating to the page. (This reason is not fixable, and is sufficient reason not to use the template or any modification thereof.)

All of the reasons still apply in 2024, and so the decision should be respected. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:2D98:B108:5F54:7DA0 (talk) 21:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

It's confusing to me how you're able to compose so much text without actually examining the effect of the template in this list. There practically isn't one. None of this makes any sense. There is nothing not in line with standard formatting here. The text is just fine. There's no loss of control because if something goes wrong we can simply replace it; it's no different to any other transclusion on Wikipedia. It's especially jarring to see all this edit-warring and wikilawyering about something from five years ago from someone who doesn't use an account. Have you been blocked or banned before? In any event, for whoever else might be reading, I've brought the matter up at WT:D. --Joy (talk) 21:33, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

User:Joy the text comes from the documentation at Template:Annotated link. I was not the one that came up with those reasons, the community did, and I am beholden to that decision just as you are. If you disagree wih the community decision you may seek to overturn it through in WP:RFC, following a proper WP:RFCBEFORE. Policies, guideline, procedures, best practices etc, are all recorded in projectspace and may be uncovered by anyone at anytime regardless of age, in fact some policies like NPOV date to the beginning of the project. Your question regarding blocking or banning is odd because talk pages are content rather than conduct forums, so properly it belongs on my usertalk page, if anywhere, as it a rather extreme non-sequitur whose only implication can be that you presume anyone who disagrees with you must be evading a ban. Regardless, to the best of my knowledge neither I nor any one else on this IP range has previously been blocked. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:2D98:B108:5F54:7DA0 (talk) 21:40, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
