I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Evelyn Harthbrooke. Thank you for your work on Alberta Provincial Highway Network. Another editor, SunDawn, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thank you for spending the time and energy to create this article! Your contributions are greatly appreciated, I have marked this article as "reviewed". Have a blessed day!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Alberta Provincial Highway Network, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rules of the road. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Short descriptions

Please remember that none is a perfectly valid Short description when the article title is enough. This is almost always the case for a list article. If a List article seems to need a Short description other than "none", then consider renaming the article to make the subject matter clear. — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 16:48, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Please explain where the Short description List of provincial highways in Alberta for the article List of Alberta provincial highways helps search autocomplete. Which browser or app is this and which search? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 18:26, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Please explain how not having a short description helps anyone. - Evelyn Harthbrooke (leave a message · contributions) 18:28, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
The Short description is often displayed by searches underneath the article title to provide extra information when the article title could be unclear. Is "Heavy water" a band, a ship or something else ...? In this case, there would be the two lines
List of Alberta provincial highways
List of provincial highways in Alberta
which is just two equivalent statements. The second adds nothing and so for an article like this, the SD is set to "none" and the second line is not displayed.
Where have you seen the SD being displayed without the article title? Which browser or app is this and which search was it? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 18:47, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
It doesn't matter. The short description is nice to have, and by "search autocomplete" I was referring to the short description showing up underneath the article title in searches. There's no valid reason to not have them. Plus I updated the short description. Not having a short description goes against Wikipedia's policy on short descriptions, and I'd argue the "None" section in the same article contradicts its own policy. Therefore, I am not going to follow that "None" policy, because it doesn't make sense and it contradicts with the policy where it says "All articles should have a short description". - Evelyn Harthbrooke (leave a message · contributions) 18:50, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
I wish that Americans would sort out their broken date format, but that is not going to happen. I think that Vector 2022 is a really poor interface, that often contradicts good affordance practice, but I don't think that it will go away or be fixed either. I suspect that there are also policies here that I don't like, but not liking them does not give me license to ignore them.
Please remember that none is a perfectly valid Short description. It is not the absence of a Short description. There is no policy contradiction. A number of editors routinely scan for and fix, as being a straightforward technical error, any list article with a redundant Short description.
If you do find a search with technical errors around the display of the Short description, please get in touch so that I can log a Phabricator ticket for the developers to investigate — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 19:49, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Sk 1

Thanks for removing the communities box at Sk Hwy 1. I've been slowly removing them on the other Sk Hwys. Masterhatch (talk) 19:00, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

WP:SDNONE

Would you mind reverting your edit to List of Alberta provincial highways? WP:SDNONE says "some article titles are sufficiently detailed that an additional short description would not be helpful" and I believe List of Alberta provincial highways meets that criteria. If you have an issue with the SD of "none", best to take it up at Wikipedia talk:Short description. Thanks!

Sorry, no. A short description of none isn't helpful. And the short description is there to differentiate the two articles listing current and former Alberta highways. I'm not going to remove the short description, as the short description integrates with Wikipedia's search previews on desktop and mobile. The short description is staying as is. - Evelyn Harthbrooke (leave a message · contributions) 23:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Page mover permissions

Hi, I saw your request at WP:RMTR and noticed your mention that you couldn't move the page yourself, but weren't quit sure why, so I'm just here to follow up if you are interested in the details on why it didn't work. The reason for it was due to the page Features of YouTube you tried to move it over having had more than a single edit on it, which means that it requires WP:PAGEMOVER permissions in order to be replaceable to ensure that no complex edit history is potentially lost, in which case instead of overwriting the page, we typically do a WP:ROUNDROBIN page swap instead.

If you are commonly doing more complex page moves such as these and have experience with it, you can request those permissions, but if it is relatively rare, then probably doing what you did and posting on the WP:RMTR related noticeboard for such requests from users with those permissions to assist with such moves is the typical way to go. Happy editing :) Raladic (talk) 04:15, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

@Raladic Ahhh, yeah, that explains it! I didn't realize that if a page has more than one edit on it that it requires page mover permissions; that makes a lot of sense. And no, I do not personally do complex page moves super often, however I have moved a number of pages in the past. Thank you for the explanation, it was very kind! <3 - Evelyn Harthbrooke (leave a message · contributions) 04:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
