reverting policy[edit]

This is an odd revert. Policy is MOS:CAPTION. If a caption forms a sentence it has a period. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Please don't try to create a local consensus. Spicemix (talk) 07:22, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I would not put a period in a caption unless there was more than one sentence. I think this is in line with most captions in books, magazines etc.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:26, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion of link to Pirate Bay[edit]

Hi, I saw you reverted my URL change to the address to The Pirate Bay website (https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=The_Pirate_Bay&oldid=prev&diff=1230705309). If you try to use the "thepiratebay.org" address, you may have your computer ridden with malware (the main webpage even try to convince the visitor to install Adobe Flash Player!!). I'm using Microsoft Edge 126.0.2592.68 (Chromium-based browser) on Windows 11 with strict tracking prevention and everytime I do a test on "thepiratebay.org" to download any torrent, it opens a new tab to install a "something.torrent.exe" and don't even open a page with the correct torrent selected on the search results.

However, if you use the "https://tpb.party" address, you get a working website that is not full of malware: it gives you right away the ".torrent" file (and not the "something.torrent.exe" file). Also, "piratebay-proxylist.com" doesn't show "thepiratebay.org" as a valid address; Bing Search puts "tpb.party" on the first search result; Google Search and Yandex Search don't even show "thepiratebay.org" on the first page of the search results.

Try to really use the URL provided by another editor, specially if that editor explained the reason behind the change, before reverting the edit.

Kind regards, joaopaulo1511 ^(talk) 03:20, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why I reverted this edit is because I looked at the TorrentFreak website and could not find any evidence that The Pirate Bay had changed its official URL. For practical purposes, thepiratebay.org is still the official URL. TPB has always had numerous mirror versions, but these are not official versions and WP:ELMINOFFICIAL applies here.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 06:55, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
