Disambiguation links on pages tagged by this wikiproject
Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

Hello, I've reverted a few recent changes to the article Movement of Socialists. The changes had been made by an anonymous user who changed the listed ideologies in the infobox several times, and also removed a maintenance tag and broke formatting. This seemed like vandalism or at least nonconstructive editing, so I removed it. However, I have no idea whether the current stated ideologies are correct. Would someone familiar with the subject please check this? Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 05:11, 8 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Not that I'm pinged, but IMHO a better example would be Palilula (dab page). If it's a municipality within a city, use a comma. If it's a village/town within a municipality, use parenthesis. BytEfLUShTalk03:40, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
I agree with BytEfLUSh's statement, considering the section has reflected "If it's a municipality within a city, use a comma. If it's a village/town within a municipality, use parenthesis." for over 4 years, including BytEfLUSh's recommendation to use parenthetical disambiguation for towns to be added to the guideline. (The section has been in it's current state for longer than that, but I eventually gave up on locating its origin.) Either way, thank you Zoupan for informing me of this discussion via my talk page.

@Zoupan: I cannot as it is part of a guideline and it's been there for so long; as far as I know, going against that could be breaking some sort of long-standing and strong consensus. If you want to present a better argument for your stance, I would recommend finding when and how (was it added per a consensus in a discussion, etc.) the Serbia-specific parenthetical wording was added to the guideline, as well as possibly who added it.

Since it's been over two weeks with no discussion, at this time, I'm going to proceed with moving pages per the way which the guideline is currently written. Steel1943 (talk) 12:57, 18 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
But I did give my stance. My stance is to follow the guideline ... whatever it is. (So yes, I really don't have an opinion either way about how this guideline is written.) But, now that the origin of the guideline has been found, I shall await further discussion. Anyways, thanks for locating how/when this guideline was added.

I explained why I added it in the previous discussion (/Archive_8#Place_names) – it had been a long-standing de facto convention, possibly taken over from Serbian Wikipedia, or who knows how, as it predates my participation, and possibly even predates the "universal comma-convention for places". As I said, I do not insist on it, and would gladly switch to comma-convention, but I do insist on the following:
If we change it, we have to rename all the affected articles, and that's a significant task; I estimate that some ~1000 articles would have to be moved, so we should establish a procedure how (a bot task?);

Now we have the case where, for exemple, Gjakova, says in the first line:
Gjakova (Albanian: Gjakovë) or Đakovica (Serbian: Ђаковица) is a...
Now there is a wrong indication that Đakovica is some other language and that only the Cyrillic version is Serbian. Could people help in turning things as they were and making the template indicate "Serbian Cyrillic" as it did before and make an input at Template talk:Lang-sr-Cyrl?

Disruptive editing
Latest comment: 6 years ago6 comments4 people in discussion
@Vanjagenije: Did you take a look at those edits and reverts? I see that you locked the page Zachlumia on version produced by Croatian and Albanian editors, and that does not surprises me, since that is your way of promoting yourself as an "objective" administrator. You did something similar when another Croatian user made a series of disruptive edits in articles on Serbian Patriarchs. But lets go back to the page Zachlumia - take a look again, you actually locked the page on version that has only Croatian designations! Speaking about the language, I noticed that you are removing codes for Serbian language (lang-sr) from articles, and replacing them with codes for "Serbo-Croatian" language (lang-sh). Why are you doing that? I saw that you are designating "Serbo-Croatian" as your mother language on your user page. That is OK, but in articles on Serbian history and culture, designation for terms on native language should be Serbian. That is simply the matter of pure facts. Today, according to official census data, "Serbo-Croatian" language is spoken by far less than 1 % of Serbs and Croats, and therefore information about that language is irrelevant. And for your "contribution" to the question of the proper name of article for Bogorodica Ljeviška, let me inform you that entry on that Serbian Church was recently removed from the list in Cathedral of the Dormition (disambiguation) because of the current pure state of that important article, and reasons for such state can be seen in the talk page of that article. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. Sorabino (talk) 16:32, 30 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@BytEfLUSh: What do you mean by "of the topic"? This is the common talk page of the Wiki Project Serbia, here we can discuss issues regarding all articles that are in the scope of this project. Above questions are also discussed on the talk pages of particular articles. Besides that, the question of language and terminology are of common interest. By ISO resolutions, code "sh" is officially deprecated and therefore the use of that code should come to end. Sorabino (talk) 22:34, 30 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
This probably is a good place to discuss a topic relevant to several related articles. Not having a source to look at, if ISO has deprecated usage of a certain abbreviation, depending on their stated reasoning for doing so and whether it is consistent with our own policies and guidelines, that could reasonably be discussed here.
