Dark Destroyer

[edit]

There is no reason to remove some but not all disambig links from an article. Either remove them all and put an "for other uses" link to the disambig page or leave them all there. Lard Almighty (talk) 10:24, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Lard Almighty (talk) 12:07, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. I was just fixing things on my phone. Please look at my edits rather than blindly reverting me. They all make sense. WillJonesUK (talk) 12:15, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No they don't. You have removed some but not all links on Wallace's page and all on others. I have now fixed this by putting a link to the disambig page at the top of each article that appears on the disabig page. That is the proper way to do it. Lard Almighty (talk) 12:18, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lol. You've removed the useful ones, e.g. cyclist. No point in linking back to TDD on all 4 of those pages as that's not the accident people might make as there is a disambiguation page there. 12:23, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
It's not about "accidents". If someone searches for The Dark Destroyer they are taken to the disambig page. It's about alerting people who are reading those articles that there are other people with that nickname and where to find their articles. So you need a link to the disambig page itself as well as the other useful links. That is why I have added that link to all the articles. Lard Almighty (talk) 12:28, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lots of people don't have nickname disambiguation links in the head of their page as it's handled on the disambiguation page itself. Please point to the guideline/policy/whatever that explains the logic of those TDD backlinks. I am thoroughly unconvinced they are necessary. WillJonesUK (talk) 12:46, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
