Hi, I notice this change on my watchlist. Was it because I was making corrections? CYGNIS INSIGNIS 13:25, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus for newspaper moves[edit]

Hi. Please stop moving those random newspaper articles. There is no consensus for those moves, nor any need. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:42, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I should add that that template is set up where we have a full scan of newspapers so it has to allow for that triple layer. For many works we are never going to get scans, or more than random articles, so having that hierarchy simply is burdensome and in some cases problematic. Noting that each of those forward slashes makes something a subpage. So the agreed position is that where we have spot articles, that we will take them to the year only. If we get heaps of works, and scans, then we can review on a case by case basis. More important to get their metadata correct in Wikidata. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:16, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I understand now. At least make it somewhat obvious that would be the case, unlike the vague & contradictory wording of "The naming has been standardized, but there is considerable variation in how it is implemented. [...] The optimal would be Chicago Daily Tribune/1948/11/03/Dewey Defeats Truman but all the other variations exist, and at some time in the future they will need to be harmonized." from Portal:Newspapers.

There's not much a point in starting these stub film index pages because the bot that produces the transcripts does this entire process automatically. PseudoSkull (talk) 06:26, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
