 – Removed redundant anchor at ICD-11#Personality disorder. waddie96 ★ (talk) 19:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to Talk:ICD-11#Redundant anchor for § Personality disorder

 – Moved to the talk page applicable to the article in question. waddie96 ★ (talk) 19:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi waddie96. I'm not following this edit you made to ICD-11. Can you explain? Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 10:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s an anchor for this {{See also}} link. In case someone changes the section title. waddie96 ★ (talk) 10:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The section title is correct. Why would anyone change it? The name of the anchor tag you added, "Personality disorder", is the same as the name of the section header, ====Personality disorder====. So this is currently redundant. Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 15:33, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What you say makes total sense and is logical, yes. But it could be made plural like in many other articles. Hence my changing it. To me

there’s no evidence of a real problem here, so be bold and remove it if you feel so inclined. waddie96 ★ (talk) 17:44, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

The title of the official ICD-11 category is "Personality disorder", singular. See here. Yes, someone could someday change it to the plural, or tweak the title some other way. But having an anchor tag underneath every header ever made on Wikipedia feels a bit excessive.

You know what would be cool? To have a broken section-link be colored orange, instead of blue or red. The software has internal lists of all pages, I assume? So how about more internal lists with all sections?

Then again, Wikipedia has no less than three bots checking section links: FrescoBot (BRFA), Dexbot (BRFA), and Cewbot (BRFA). And of course we have GreenC bot and InternetArchiveBot. Seriously, Wikipedia ought not to have any link rot. At all. - Manifestation (talk) 22:48, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would not be fore: […] having an anchor tag underneath every header ever made on Wikipedia feels a bit excessive., I gave my reason why I put it there, you gave a reason not to, and I support it.

This idea sounds great:

Aside: But I feel most may feel then disambigs should be purple, portals and non-EN-wiki pages other colours, so it goes on. And will probably hit you with

WP:AINTBROKE

. We are speaking here to come to consensus, let it not be known it is a Wiki-bicker that us wiki editors are so known for. Also, the colourblind may jump in and accessibility issues etc. and instructional creep or clutter creep.

Thanks for your info in the last paragraph. I have reverted erroneous and redundant {{anchor}} placement here.

Thanks for the discussion, I believe it has reached consensus. waddie96 ★ (talk) 19:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Implemented. Can I close this discussion and move it to Talk:ICD-11 where I think it is better suited. waddie96 ★ (talk) 19:36, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This:

[[User talk:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]

will produce a link to the editor's talk page. I'm not sure how to put that into a template without it subst:ing straight into the template (and thus hard-coding a link to your own talk page in the template), but I believe there is a method for doing so. Someone at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) will know how to do this.

Thank you! waddie96 ★ (talk) 13:41, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And one would use safesubst: instead, see here for info on multilevel subst:. waddie96 ★ (talk) 13:46, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rococo architecture, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Musée de Beaux Arts.
