To whomever responds to this request,


I like your new sig colour, too. Happy editing, '']'' ‹ ] — ] › 22:01, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
Please remove all ] associated with my account that can be removed. (I think this means everything except autoconfirmed and extended confirmed, but if either of those can be removed as well, go for it.) I don't plan on being back for probably ever, and I don't want my user rights to remain in the event that somehow, this account gets compromised. Thanks! ] (]) 20:05, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
:Done, though I hope you return after a break. It seems like this could've been avoided if the other party had simply checked the actual content of edits that they were reverting. ---- ] - <sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub> 20:38, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

==Hi==
@Tbhotch: I can confirm that I have run across instances where IIO has moved a page to a title with a disambiguator, but in the process, doesn't create a disambiguation page. However, this wasn't always the case: The lack of creating disambiguation pages may be a recently-developing issue. I recall a few years ago, IIO moved quite a few song or album related pages from base titles to tiles with disambiguators and then created disambiguation pages at the leftover redirect's base title. However, such disambiguation pages were created before the consensus was established declaring that if an article about a song or album is the only article by that name that exists on Misplaced Pages, then it should be at the base title. (I can't recall where that guideline is at the moment, but I am sure you know what in referring to since I think we've crossed each other's paths regarding this in the past.)

:The reason for not creating a dab page immediately is (a) a footer template needs 24 hours to settle as in the case of the three Bombay Mail articles where creation of a dab page was prevented before the template settled, (b) sometimes a primary redirect is justified, while still making articles easier to find, (c) if your edits are being regularly followed by an individual it's best not to lock them all in, allowing the follower a period to revert, lest the follower create more drama. That does then create the danger of having forgotten. All the best. ] (]) 11:26, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
