Disambiguation link notification for March 22[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Joy of Painting, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alizarin crimson. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:11, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnotes[edit]

Please do not use colons for indentation in articles (pages in the main namespace). Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Indentation says:

A colon (:) at the start of a line marks that line in the MediaWiki parser as the <dd> part of an HTML description list (<dl>). The visual effect in most Web browsers is to indent the line. ... However, this markup alone is missing the required <dt> (term) element of a description list, to which the <dd> (description/definition) pertains. As can be seen by inspecting the code sent to the browser, this results in broken HTML (i.e. it fails validation). The result is that assistive technology, such as screen readers, will announce a description list that does not exist, which is confusing for any visitor unused to Wikipedia's broken markup. This is not ideal for accessibility, semantics, or reuse...

Use {{For}}, {{Distinguish}}, {{Self reference}}, etc. instead for hatnotes. Nardog (talk) 22:59, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Nardog, is it nescessary to replace my last 10 edits? Should I do, or want you do? Can I use {{Distinguish|Text = ...}} for all the replaces?
