XYZ

Hi, I noted you removed the reference to XYZ London-based brand experience agency, but kept in the one about a production company? I did not add for promotional purposes and I'm not affiliated in any way, I just thought it would be fine to add in more details. Please can you explain? Thank you!

Hi Experienz3, I'm happy to explain that edit.

Disambiguation pages are not regular articles; they are merely navigation pages intended to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily, much like the index of a book. For this reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles (MOS:DAB, if you're interested). One of these guidelines is that all entries should have an article or should be discussed in another article. If you look at XYZ, you will see that every line has a blue link, either at the beginning, or in the description. There is an article about the production company XYZnetworks but there is no mention of the London-based agency in any article. If a subject is not mentioned in a book, it would make no sense to list it in the index.

External links are not used as a replacement for blue links because DAB pages disambiguate Wikipedia, not the entire web! And just FYI, external links should not be used in the body of any article (per Wikipedia:External links). It is better to use them as an inline citation or in an External links section at the end of the article. Leschnei (talk) 11:48, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great thanks for the explanation Leschnei
