Aren't the second and fourth items in the history section referring to the same thing? Quentin Durward 08:42, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Policy

[edit]

@Bkonrad: My edit was compliant with Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages (section) MOS:DABPIPING. According to the policy example below, my edit was an actual straight-forward improvement. Here's an example from the relevant section: MOS:DABPIPING

  • When the link is part of the description, rather than the actual entry name, piping can be used more freely. However, the text of the link should still be very similar to the title of the target article, to avoid confusing the reader. For example:

Switch may refer to:

  • "Switch", a song by Siouxsie & the Banshees from The Scream
    Markup: "Switch", a song by Siouxsie & the Banshees from ''[[The Scream (album)|The Scream]]''

This is exactly what I did in the example above: ''[[The Scream (album)|The Scream]]''. Would you please explain your blanket revert? Thanks. Poeticbent talk 05:04, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Poeticbent:, your edit was not in compliance with MOS:DABPIPING. The links that you piped were not in the descriptions, but were the names of the ambiguous entries. You overlooked the very first bullet point Use piping to add italics or quotation marks to part of an article name. olderwiser 11:32, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 23 December 2020

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved as proposed, with lowercase Little black book redirecting to Address book#Little black book. BD2412 T 05:59, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

– Everything on the disambiguation page is a proper noun that is capitalized, so the disambiguation page should be too. I also think that the current names, Black book and Little black book, should be redirected to Address book as WP:PRIMARYREDIRECTs.
