I believe that consensus should have been sought for the change from numerals to words. What do yo think? MattSucci (talk) 14:28, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How to reverse a redirect? (from A→B to B→A)

[edit]

There is an article called Leonard Komon (athlete). The complete name of this athlete is Leonard Patrick Komon. So I just wanted to move the article to his complete name and then create a redirect from Leonard Komon to Leonard Patrick Komon.

But it just so happens that Leonard Patrick Komon already exists as a redirect to current article Leonard Komon, which is exactly the opposite of what should've been.

I tried a renaming trick with no success and it left behind a redirect that I can't remove.

Thank you!

Feelthhis (talk) 02:30, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the question. From what I have seen there should be no problem if you move "A" to "B", which from my tests yield what you want. Keep in mind though, middle names are typically not included in page titles, like the page Donald Trump is not called Donald John Trump. Hence, it is technically possible, but I'd discourage it.

See WP:NCP: Most biographical articles have titles in the form <First name> <Last name>, as with Albert Einstein and Margaret Thatcher. This guideline explains how to handle cases where this format is not obvious, or for one reason or other is not followed.

Thank you for the answers and guidelines! Cheers Feelthhis (talk) 11:06, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Eumat114:When I try to move A to B but B already exists, like in the example, I get the error. So, first, I tried renaming B to B(temp) which doesn't work because B will still exist. Any way to workaround this? Following your guideline I found WP:NCSP which precisely applies to the articles I'm seeing (thank you!), but I can't fix some of the athletes articles because of this issue. Feelthhis (talk) 11:36, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Feelthhis, is B an article or a redirect? If it's an article then creating a temp page is needed. If B is a redirect then as tested in my userspace, I don't see any problems. For the former case, you may try WP:PAGESWAP, an automated tool that helps you work around it. Cheers, Eumat114 formerly The Lord of Math (Message) 12:07, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Eumat114: A is the article and B is a redirect to A. This still doesn't work. I just tried moving Gladys Cherono Kiprono to Gladys Cherono and I get the same error The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Feelthhis (talk) 12:20, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Feelthhis, then do you want to make the move? I might try to sort it out. Eumat114 formerly The Lord of Math (Message) 12:24, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
According to WP:RM#TR you would be right. My bad. Eumat114 formerly The Lord of Math (Message) 12:31, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Eumat114: No problem! Yes, I'd like to make the move, preferably myself :) but I understand if this is not possible. Thanks for your help. Feelthhis (talk) 14:57, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Ford Mustang (sixth generation) into Ford Mustang Mach 1. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:59, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Diannaa, sorry about that. TIL. Feelthhis (talk) 17:42, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

using {{r}} with {{excerpt}}

[edit]

Quick definitions:

Source article: article being used to source material to the calling article

Calling article: article displaying an excerpt of the source article via {{excerpt}}

~

I tried using {{r}} with {{excerpt}} and the result is: it works in the source article but it does not work in the calling article.

Example: I had to undo my attempt in order to keep the COVID-19 Pandemic (calling article) error-free in the ref department.
Why: I wanted to insert a quote inside an inline citation (as seen in the example), and the {{r}} template was the solution I found. If there is other solution, please let me know.


Thanks in advance.

Feelthhis (talk) 22:59, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how many other editors have taken a look at this. I've spent a little time and I still haven't figured out what problem you are having.
If the defining reference for refname is outside the scope of the excerpt, I can see why that would fail.
What I see from your history is
But I remain a bit mystified about what you tried or what you saw that led you to the conclusion it "does not work". Can you provide more detail or, optimally, a small sample that demonstrates the "does not work" part? You do realize that the quote part from {{r}} shows up as a pop-up (think tooltip) attached to an underline under the page number; it does not get merged into the ref at the bottom of the page. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 01:36, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for looking into this. (below, source is Transmission of COVID-19#top and target is COVID-19 Pandemic#Transmission).
The error is: in the example I gave, in the 3rd paragraph of source, the ref is not rendered correctly in the target article when it's invoked by {{r}} (instead, it raises a "reference not defined" error* in red colour). Whereas in the first paragraph of target, this same ref is rendered correctly when it's invoked by <ref name>.
*I'm not 100% sure it was "not defined" error, but it was an error in red. Reproducing this would involve submitting an edit to the source using {{r}}.
The tooltip behaviour you described is exactly what I'm looking for, so that we don't need to duplicate the ref just to add a quote.
Thanks again for your time.
Feelthhis (talk) 03:32, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If you allow me a second question: when the exact same ref is defined in multiple sources, the target would display them multiple times. I tried setting them up exactly the same in the source articles but that didn't work. Example: the source entitled "Q & A on COVID-19: Basic facts" in COVID-19 Pandemic. It shows up two times, one for each source (Coronavirus disease 2019 and Transmission of COVID-19), even though they're set up exactly the same in the sources (ref name="ECDCQA"). Feelthhis (talk) 03:54, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you don't mind, I disabled the help-template as we IRC helpers get notified every few minutes for every non-closed help issue. It sounds like you might have a more technical query that could be better addressed via one of the community forums such as #technical on Wikipedia's Discord channel. --Salimfadhley (talk) 10:16, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Likewise for the {{help me}} template. Per above, do try the WP:Discord for quick answers if you're still after help — IVORK Talk 23:23, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Have a beer and nil carborundum

[edit]
It's a pain when you've made a good, reasoned argument and it gets rejected. But in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal.

If the tozinameran name gets used more, there will be a better case to move back to the INN name. For now, I can understand folks not wanting to use a name that we don't see much in the sources so far (even if I don't agree with them).

Anyway, have a virtual beer on me and don't let it stress you! RexxS (talk) 23:50, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Would you be able to fix this?

[edit]

Hi, I am adding more information to the Microsoft Defender Wikipedia page, and I noticed that when I added a new image to the advanced feature section, the text is to right of the image instead of on top (Controlled Folder Access)

I don't understand how to fix this 😓

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Defender — Preceding unsigned comment added by Win32SasserB (talk • contribs) 16:38, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Win32SasserB! The fix is to put the image below the section title and then put {{clear}} at the end of the section. Like this:
===Section title===
[[File:yourpicture.png|thumb|left]]
First paragraph.
Last paragraph.
{{clear}}
Thanks for your contributions to Microsoft Defender!
