I don’t like the current example in the three-digit route section. Can I change it? 2601:C6:D281:6710:69B4:E8FE:BAB6:6BCC (talk) 04:24, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is no good reason to change. Not liking the current example is an insufficient reason to change it. Imzadi 1979 → 04:36, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But I’d like to change the example anyway. 2601:C6:D281:6710:9931:CBDC:6B42:55E3 (talk) 23:10, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is still not a reason. The current example is sufficient to illustrate the concept, and that's all that matters. If you let you arbitrarily change it, then in six months, do we have to let someone else make a similar arbitrary change, and then six more months still.... Hopefully you can see my point.
