Question from Hakonmarcus (08:50, 29 July 2024)
Hello! I just joined because I was reading the "Xenophobia"-article and found that someone had put "Warhammer 40,000" in the "See also"-list. I thought that seemed a bit off, so I deleted it, and stated the reason. Is this the right way to make edits, or should I have opened a topic discussing it with others first? --Hakonmarcus (talk) 08:50, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hakonmarcus, that seems like a good edit to me! Thank you for joining Wikipedia. We generally only expect topics to be opened for controversial edits or when there is disagreement on a recent edit. You can read the essay Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle for some more explaining on this. But you did well ^u^. We generally call the type of content you removed (i.e. that which appeals to a small population of fans and is not relevant to a majority of editors reading that article) "fancruft".
- PS: To link other wikipedia pages within wikipedia you can use double square brackets. For example [[Warhammer 40,000]] will become Warhammer 40,000. — ♠ Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Sign up for the 2024 DCWC! — Non nobis solum ♠ 16:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
