Talk:Vesele

Bluelinks for redlink entries

@FromCzech: I too thought linking that article was stretching things, but my understanding of WP:DABRED is that a bluelink is required. As I disambiguated the Vesele link at 1938 Ukrainian Supreme Soviet election that's the one I had available.

What would you suggest instead? I'm not up to weaving the link into Kryvyi Rih Raion or Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (which would probably be better), right now. But we have to have something. (You're a super-experienced editor, so perhaps you can set me straight: Do I have it wrong?) I will just nix it altogether, otherwise: it's not that important in itself – although good to be there to help reduce DAB linking in articles, by providing clues to editors ... of all the possibilities for the term.

The previous wording was very unnatural and inappropriate for the dab page, and you are right that even the current state does not correspond to conventions. If the "1938 election" article is the only one that links the settlement, it's best to leave it out completely until it has its own page or is mentioned in the list of settlements in Kryvyi Rih Raion or Novopillia rural hromada. The meaning of dab page is not a complete enumeration of the meaning of a given word or name, but a signpost between existing pages on wiki. FromCzech (talk) 09:27, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm aware of the purpose of a DAB page. As an editor who does a lot of DABbing, I'm very focused on ways to prevent the DAB links creeping in, in the first place. Completeness of pages helps a lot with that. Oh well.

But, we must go with the WP:DABRED protocol, so I've removed it. AukusRuckus (talk) 09:41, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
