Minor edits
editHi PK2! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdewman6 (talk • contribs) 00:22, July 9, 2023 (UTC)
I would like to repeat this reminder regarding this edit on Template:Excessive citations inline/doc on March 3. Thank you. — W.andrea (talk) 22:50, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Improving List of Wikipedias
editHey PK2. I appreciate all the effort you've put into maintaining the list. I was thinking, if there are some removed charts you'd like to preserve, maybe we could create a new article on Meta called "List of Wikipedias (charts)" or something like that?
Also, I've been considering the problem of the creation dates being unsourced in the article. It might be difficult, but if we could get a developer to create a table on Meta, it could make sourcing most of the dates much easier. I also had an interesting discussion with GreenC and a few other people about this last year at User talk:GreenC § Wikipedia edition launch dates. Regards.

Unnecessary changes
editHi, I reverted your edits on Bracket, and I explained why some of the changes were bad in my edit summary, but I just wanted to explain why some of the other changes were unnecessary. The good changes I went ahead and redid.
Firstly, I just wanted to mention that I wrote nonsense "uma dúvida ... Angle bracket pi" (copy-paste error?)
in the edit summary, but I actually had that diff backwards and it was an earlier edit that introduced that change. Sorry for thinking that was you.
Changes:
- Piped link target capitalization makes no difference. For example,
Per WP:PIPE, "In a link, the first letter of a page title is never case-sensitive." So this change had no effect. Plus, article titles normally begin with an uppercase letter anyway, so that's the format you'll see inserted by tools. There's no reason to change it.− [[Writingsystem#Directionality|directionality]]+ [[writing system#Directionality|directionality]] - Blending piped links makes no difference. For example,
Since the link label is explicitly specified, there's no advantage to blending, whereas with a non-piped link, it makes the wikicode shorter, like say,− [[Function (mathematics)|mathematicalfunctions]]+ [[Function (mathematics)|mathematical function]]s
Although if "apples" already exists as a redirect, it's fine to use it, which is why I didn't bother to redo− [[Apple|apples]]+ [[apple]]s− [[phonemes]]+ [[phoneme]]s - At first I thought
was a good change, but on closer inspection, the article Crescent says the shape is fundamentally about the moon.− [[Crescent|crescentmoon]]+ [[crescent]] moon - I'm not totally opposed to having anchors for every combination of terms (like "Uses of angle brackets" and "Uses of chevrons"), it just seems excessive unless there's a compelling reason to include them. Maybe for consistency?
For square brackets though, I don't think anchors about "brackets" are useful since the whole page is about "brackets".
And, I added back the anchors that are useful for technical reasons (like "Uses of angle brackets" to avoid special characters in a link) and for consistency with plural/singular (like "Angle brackets"/"Angle bracket" → "Chevrons"/"Chevron").
In the future you might want to break up your edits so that instead of a big omnibus set of changes all at once, you do one "thing" at a time, like say, 1) improve whitespace in the source code, 2) fix links, 3) blend links, etc. I prefer to do them from least controversial first to most controversial last (or the ones I'm least sure about) so that they can be more easily undone if needed and so that it's easier to read and understand each change. Check out Wikipedia:Good editing practices § The normal editing process. When redoing your edits I ended up doing 9 separate edits.

Speedy deletion nomination of Video city (disambuguation)
editA tag has been placed on Video city (disambuguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Why are you going around eliminating {nbsp}?
editPinging Headbomb, who complained to you last year (above on this page) about something similar you were doing with Template:anchor -- a complaint to which you didn't respond -- and other template tinkering that makes no sense. EEng 12:24, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Headbomb and @EEng: The reason I've been removing and substituting templates like {{nbsp}} and {{anchor}} on templates like {{Protection table}}, {{JCW-Main}}, {{JCW-Letter}}, {{JCW-DOI-rank}}, {{JCW-legend}}, {{JCW-Publisher-Warning}}, {{JCW-CRAP-rank}}, {{JCW-PUB-rank}}, {{JCW-TAR-rank}}, {{JCW-type}} and {{JCW-Citewatch-Warning}} is because I want to prevent templates like {{nbsp}} and {{anchor}} from being transcluded onto more pages and because I want to be able to more easily check on the Special:WhatLinksHere page, for example, with WhatLinksHere pages for template like Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:nbsp and Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:anchor, which templates are transcluded directly onto certain articles and non-template or module pages, and not through templates and modules. PK2 (talk; contributions) 23:18, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
I want to prevent templates like {{nbsp}} and {{anchor}} from being transcluded onto more pages
– Why? What does that accomplish?I want to be able to more easily check on the Special:WhatLinksHere page, for example, with WhatLinksHere pages for template like Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:nbsp and Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:anchor, which templates are transcluded directly onto certain articles and non-template or module pages, and not through templates and modules
– Why is that useful?
- Neither of these is a valid reason for mucking up the code on dozens of pages. Stop doing this immediately, and undo what you've done. EEng 23:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- That is not a valid reason to subst these templates, especially on technical pages. You can filter uses by namespace already. If you want to mass subst: something, go through BRFA. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- And I'm sorry to point this out, but you've been spoken to about these kinds of activities many times, and yet you keep doing it (as seen on this very page, and in your contribution history). You need to stop this kind of activity right now, and not do it again ever, or I'm afraid I'll have to ask that you be blocked. You've had many warnings. EEng 23:33, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- 1. Do those edits include those on templates where neither Headbomb or EEng have reverted those edits of mine?
- 2. I don't want to end up being blocked from editing on Wikipedia.
- PK2 (talk; contributions) 23:43, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- EEng's warning is perhaps worded more strongly than needed, but the point is that you've been warned / told many times these are not helpful and not desired, and it's the first time you respond/acknowledge the concerns. I'd say that for now, if no one reverted you on anything that's over a week o ld, it's probably not that big a deal. But you should probably undo your most recent spree. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've just reverted all my edits from yesterday that contained removals and substitutions of templates like {{nobr}} and {{nobreak}}, now. PK2 (talk; contributions) 00:07, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- For the record, I certainly don't want you to end up being blocked either. But ask an experienced editor before you start doing any more of these mass-change projects. EEng 01:36, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I understand. PK2 (talk; contributions) 22:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for saying so. Sorry if I came on a bit strong. EEng 22:34, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
