Feedback
I applaud the idea of standardizing these, and also making them as succinct as possible. Which is why I'm a little ambivalent about my suggestion, which is to include the word in question in the first sentence, e.g. "This is character Homsar." If someone reached the page by typing into their address bar, then of course they'd know what word they're talking about, but if they linked there from a link that may have had text other than "homsar", it could be confusing for a few seconds. In counter-argument, it would only be for a few seconds, and only in a few cases that people didn't know which word they were talking about. Anyway, one way or the other, good project! —AbdiViklas 17:56, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- Your ambivalent suggestion is interesting, but as it would complicate the templates I'm inclined to vote "nay". User:Bill Martinson/sig 19:08, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Dangeresque
I think we should pick whether it's the Dangeresque "film series" or "movies" and use it consistently in both instances. P.S. Great jearb on this page! — It's dot com 18:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Definite article
Every one of the redirects is in the form "For the X, see Y", with the definite article included. I think the "the" should be a part of the template. — It's dot com 18:33, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- Except there's no article in "For real-world interviews". I guess we can live with "For the real-world interviews. User:Bill Martinson/sig 19:01, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
