One, two, three
Where should One, Two, Three, etc. take the reader? Currently we have:
- One → 1, a number article
- Two → 2, a number article
- Three → 3 (disambiguation)
- Four → 4 (disambiguation)
- Five → 5 (disambiguation)
- Six → 6, a number article
- Seven → 7 (disambiguation)
- Eight → 8 (disambiguation)
- Nine → 9 (disambiguation)
- Ten is a disambiguation page (the rest of One–Twenty are redirects)
- Eleven → 11, a disambiguation page
- Twelve → 12, a disambiguation page
- Thirteen → 13, a disambiguation page
- Fourteen → 14, a disambiguation page
- Fifteen → 15, a disambiguation page
- Sixteen → 16, a disambiguation page
- Seventeen → 17, a disambiguation page
- Eighteen → 18, a disambiguation page (but misspelling Eightteen → 18 (number))
- Nineteen → 19, a disambiguation page
- Twenty → 20, a disambiguation page
Should these be more consistent, or are they deliberately different? Note that 1–10 are number articles and 11–99 are dabs. Certes (talk) 16:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
Following and preceding
The lead of 22 (number) reads 22 (twenty-two) is the natural number following 21 and preceding 23.
Other number articles are similar. Is this sentence useful: do we really have readers who already understood what 21 and 23 are but need 22 defined in terms of them? Frankly it looks a little silly to me, and I'd welcome suggestions for improvement. Certes (talk) 09:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- For articles that are well developed, I think we can start generating leads that reflect the information within the article. At least with one point that is mathematical, and one that is otherwise, maybe simpler "n feet in x" or even more in depth, if cultural associations allow it. That way there is a more natural reflection of what information is being relayed. Radlrb (talk) 06:58, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
Requesting a Bulk Move
I started moving the 1,000 (number) 2,000 (number) 3,000 (number) etc. articles to 1,000-1,999 (numbers) 2,000-2,999 (numbers) 3,000-3,999 (numbers) etc. I realized however theres a lot of articles have this issue. Examples, outside of the thousands which I have taken care of include:
The hundreds beginning at 300
The tens of thousands
100,000
1 million
10 million
100 million
1 billion
Considering that these total 32 articles, I felt I should leave a message here Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 16:38, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- It is usual to discuss such changes in advance, especially when titles follow a longstanding pattern. The page moves have been reverted and a discussion started at Talk:300 (number)#Requested move 14 April 2024. Certes (talk) 18:21, 14 April 2024 (UTC)]
