Retrospective WP:DABPIPE & WP:DABONE enforcement

Happy new year! Anyhow, I've noticed that you edited my entry on Ajax. Thanks a lot for doing that and reminding me of DABPIPE & DABONE. However, as you can probably see from my contributions, I've been adding disambiguation entries left and right using identical formatting - DABPIPE shouldn't be an issue, but I definitely don't feel like redoing every single edit again to comply with DABONE. So, any bots/automated scripts you know of that can help me fix this? Otherwise, I'll take some time later to manually change them if that's the only possible solution. Once again, happy 2025, and thanks for the reminder! HKLionel (talk) 19:15, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, not offhand. AWB could probably be configured to do something useful for that, but I haven't used it in ages. Re piped links, WP:DABPIPE states: Piping may be used when the link is in the description (see § Items appearing within other articles) for linking to a section or anchor point rather than an entire article. You generally should not be placing a piped section link in the initial position of an entry. older ≠ wiser 20:23, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Also, from your contributions, you appear to only have a couple dozen or so edits to disambiguation pages. That really is nothing to go back and re-edit them. older ≠ wiser 20:28, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Guess I'm just lazy! Alright, thanks for your advice. HKLionel (talk) 06:43, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Question

On 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season, why did you change NIL to NLI? 2605:59C8:409B:4E10:9CAB:31E6:820D:E53A (talk) 05:26, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

The National Letter of Intent is NLI not NIL. older ≠ wiser 12:27, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

tnt disambiguation revert

I saw you reverted my edit due to a red link here. There are multiple other red links on the page that seemed to be deemed ok, so I'm confused why those weren't also reverted. Also, is it ok for it to remain on the page without any link? There used to be a page but it was recently demoted to a draft. Plastixfy (talk) 05:24, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

@Plastixfy Red links are OK on a dab page as long as they have a blue link as part of the entry, linking to an article which includes that same red link. Only one other red link didn't have such a blue link, and I've now added one. If the boy band is mentioned, reliably sourced, in another article, please re-add it with a link to that article (perhaps a description of the Chinese boy band scene, or the town they come from?). See WP:DABRED for more info. Thanks. PamD 09:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

RE: Harsh vocals

I moved the Harsh vocals dab to Harsh vocals (disambiguation) so that links can be directed to the dab page without the bot freaking out about it. "Harsh vocals" is often ambiguous as it can include more than just death growls.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 14:12, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

That's not how it works. If there is no primary topic, the disambiguation page should be at the base name without the parenthetical "(disambiguation)". Only when there is a primary topic (or redirect to a primary topic) should the disambiguation page have the parenthetical. older ≠ wiser 14:15, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Ok. Thank you.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 14:23, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Bkonrad It seems barely valid as a dab page. I wonder if Harsh vocals ought to redirect to Extended vocal technique#Distortion instead? PamD 15:04, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I wasn't looking to dive into the subject area details, only where the dab belongs if there is one. older ≠ wiser 15:14, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

I'd be happy with that.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:01, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Done. PamD 17:21, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
