Why do some editors find it necessary to create a spurious confusion between the article titles "Stormy Daniels" and "Storm Daniel" where none exists? Such hatnotes "should only be used when the ambiguity exists for a significant portion of the readership." And neither misspelling seems very likely. Drdpw (talk) 03:28, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:HATCONFUSE is meant to remedy confusion between similar terms. We already recognize such potential for misspellings with Storm Daniels, which was created two days ago to redirect to this page. While I didn't create the the redirect at "Storm Daniels", I created the redirect at Stormy Daniel for the same reason. Edge3 (talk) 16:22, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree - confusion between a porn actress and a weather phenomenon is somewhat unlikely. Despite the similarity of the name, there is no likelihood of mistaking the two.
Additionally, as the first instance was added here on 11th September, we're discussing the addition of the hat, not the removal - and as such the status quo is to discuss without the presence of the hat until an agreement is made. Chaheel Riens (talk) 18:00, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think a status quo argument carries much weight in this discussion, as Storm Daniel occurred earlier this month. We could not possibly have included a relevant hatnote before last week. Edge3 (talk) 15:08, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter whether the subject of the hatnote happened a week ago, a month ago, or 2000 years ago, the fact that the hat itself only appeared a few days ago is the topic under debate, and as such (and at risk of repeating myself,) you need to justify the inclusion.
To use your own argument - Storm Daniel was categorised on 4th September, but it took a week before the hat was added, and a day after the hat the storm had dissipated. Is it really that notable? Chaheel Riens (talk) 19:33, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Storm Daniel article wasn't posted on the Main Page until September 11, so the article would not have been highly-trafficked until then. Edge3 (talk) 03:12, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A hatnote is only appropriate when the ambiguity is significant, common enough that a significant percentage of readers might be confused. The likelihood of confusion—Stormy Daniels for Storm Daniel or Storm Daniel for Stormy Daniels—though the double misspelling Edge3 hypothesizes are slim to minuscule, making a hatnote out of place. Drdpw (talk) 19:13, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support the addition But there should be a small explanation as well. I believe there is a separate template on wikipedia to do that. It'd look like something to the effect of "Not to be confused with Storm Daniels that killed X people in Libya in 2023", emphasis mine on the difference--Daikido (talk) 14:32, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We don't do the future. Frankly, I wouldn't do it until the trial is over. But, I'd lose that argument if I bothered to make it. O3000, Ret. (talk) 13:52, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
