Wikidata redirect linking
Hey Mike, I was wondering how you are adding intentional sitelink to redirect (Q70894304) to redirects. I was searching for this but couldn't find it until I saw you use it. --Gonnym (talk) 12:08, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Gonnym: If you edit the sitelinks, a little badge to the right of each of them appears with 'click to assign a badge' as a hover-over. Click on it, and the 'intentional...' option is at the bottom. This was the first time I've seen and used it! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:20, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

- I've followed this up at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Birth_date_at_Pia_Bajpiee. It's good that there is finally a reference, but I'm not sure whether it is one that is acceptable here, so I'm hoping others will have a look into this! Thanks.

William Owen
Hi Mike, In your edit to William Owen (architect and surveyor), you say that commons category William Owen (architect and surveyor) does not exist. It does, but does not seem to be linking through properly. How can this be resolved? Tyssil (talk) 22:36, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Tyssil: It looks like you just missed the closing bracket, it's fixed now! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:43, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

About the commons category of Category:Nichiren temples
It seems that you did Special:Diff/987036346 based on Wikidata d:Special:Diff/1294739793. However it's a wrong operation from a user. I 've posted some words there for the user. Here for your reference. Thanks a lot. --迴廊彼端 (talk) 14:50, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- @迴廊彼端: Thanks for checking and fixing that! There's some discrepancy between Category:Nichiren temples here and commons:Category:Temples of Nichiren Buddhism, in particular, here there is "Nichiren-shū temples" as a subcategory with no matching one there, if I understand correctly that commons:Category:Temples of Nichiren Shoshu is different. Please consider improving the categorisation a bit more both here and on Commons. :-) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 15:11, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Mike Peel:You're welcome! I've watched these pages for a period. "Category:Temples of Nichiren Shoshu" is indeed different from the others. Maybe I would create commons:Category:Temples of Nichirenshu after having other works done on wiki though it would be a hard one. :P --迴廊彼端 (talk) 15:43, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
Commons Categories
Since you have been removing links to images (Commons Category template) from US Air Force squadrons on the basis that the category belongs on a higher headquarters article, I was wondering what the link is showing that commons category links cannot be in both articles. --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:09, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Lineagegeek: In general the commons category link belongs with the matching article, and normally at the bottom of the article. Why is the Commons link thought to be useful for readers in these situations, please? (per Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects.) And why is that only done in a small number of articles? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:41, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- The squadrons in question were assigned to the headquarters and some images may be of aircraft assigned to the squadron/headquarters or be of the squadron's emblem. For most of these squadrons (if not all) the number of images specific to the squadron would not likely be sufficient to create a separate commons category for the squadron. --Lineagegeek (talk) 17:20, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Lineagegeek: If there's more images than are being displayed in the article, then it's definitely worth creating a Commons category for them. If not, probably the article shouldn't be linking to Commons, if that link belongs with another article. If you want to pick through some specific examples, I'm happy to work through them with you if you want. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:01, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I was under the impression that there was an (unwritten?) rule that a commons category should not be created unless there was an expectation that there would eventually be at least 20 images in it. --Lineagegeek (talk) 19:36, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Lineagegeek: I haven't heard of that rule before. I routinely create categories where there are currently less than 20 images, it's not normally a problem. Particularly now that the category can have the infobox in the category, so it displays extra context about the images. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 09:25, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
