Talk:Madeleine McCann

Untitled

Why is the page still protected? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hicktunus (talk • contribs) 13:09, 16 February 2008.

Because the subject, Madeleine McCann, is a non-notable person (though her disappearance is notable) and protection prevents recreation of the page, sometimes in error. If a notable person of this name arises then the page can be unprotected to allow creation of a new article. TerriersFan (talk) 19:25, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

As per WP:INCOMPATIBLE, please add the following content to the redirect.

Category:2003 births Category:Living people Category:Kidnapped English children Category:People from Leicester

Partly done: added three of them. It's not a good idea to use categories to assert unverifiable information though. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:20, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Add {{R to subtopic}} inside the redirect category shell. Geolodus (talk) 09:28, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello.

Please remove Category:2003 births, which is irrelevant in this context, as nobody is ever going look for her using that category.

Please add Category:Missing English children, which is obviously infinitely more likely to be searched.

Thank you.

 Partly done: I have added cat:missing children, but I have not removed the births category, as it is standard to include folks in that category. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 02:54, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

But it's not even an article. HandsomeFella (talk) 07:01, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Link to Wikidata

I would like this redircet to be linked to corresponding WD object Madeleine McCann (Q18542441). That would help for other WP versions. In order to link it to WD the redirect needs to first be undone and after the link been done a few seconds later, to recreate it. The protection will not allow me to do thisYger (talk) 14:47, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: Linking to WD objects this way is a known hack. Izno (talk) 01:52, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

I appeal. This is an accepted action, see T54564 and {{Wikidata redirect}}.Yger (talk) 05:54, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

 Done this is a well known procedure and I'm not aware of any harmful effects — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:01, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Please change [[Disappearance of Madeleine McCann]] to [[Disappearance of Madeleine McCann#Madeleine McCann]] and add {{R to section}} because, as already noted, this is a subtopic of that article. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 23:55, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

 Not done the lead of the article already calls out the subject's name so is an appropriate target. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:41, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
