List of hills of East Falkland Island moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to List of hills of East Falkland Island. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and has no content besides a lead sentence. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Falkland hills

Hi AlaskanGrass,

I've done a bit of shuffling of page and category names and hopefully have got Falkland mountains and hills sorted the way you were trying to. I see you're new here, which would explain one or two of the minor complications you made for yourself with categories. Nothing serious, and easy to fix. If you've any questions, just leave a reply here and I'll see it :) Happy editing! Grutness...wha? 00:27, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Grutness, I am actually relieved you did that, I was becoming more and more unsure whether hills and mountains needed to be seperated into distinct navboxes and categories, I've never dealt with categories before so I got the hierarchy mixed up I think. I realised that the amount of articles in each is not very high. Also, I was getting confused because I didn't realise categories called list categories existed and article lists were a seperate thing until later on. So yes, thank you for saving me a headache today lol. I'll keep working on that hill and mountain navbox template. AlaskanGrass (talk) 11:49, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do have a question, you've seen my new list article, List of mountains and hills of East Falkland, and you are aware of the List of mountains and hills of the Falkland Islands (plural). I was intending on doing another list for West Falkland and then one for the 'minor outlying islands' (with a table system you can see on the linked article). So, my question is, if you were me, would you think I should just make a great table and list article for everything on the List of mountains and hills of the Falkland Islands and abandon my project to regionalise the falkland geography into east west and minor islands list articles? I mean, I suppose I could just break List of mountains and hills of the Falkland Islands into subsections. That is more sensible isn't it? AlaskanGrass (talk) 12:08, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem - Wikipedia can be a steep learning curve at first :) I was thinking that combining them might be an idea myself. Personally, I'd have it all at List of mountains and hills of the Falkland Islands, with that page divided into separate tables for East Falkland, West Falkland, and possibly Wrangell Island (which seems to have a few mountains with articles). I might also consider a separate table at the top, listing the ten highest peaks in order. Have a look at the similar list article List of Lakes of New Zealand, which I helped in making, and you'll see what I mean - it has a "largest" table first, followed by separate tables for each of New Zealand's regions.

That sounds good to me AlaskanGrass (talk) 15:55, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

If you'd like to change the name of the template, please refer to the WP:RMT process. Frost 12:34, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore the above. Since you were the author of both pages, I don't think there's an issue with cut and paste or attribution. Self-reverting. Frost 12:41, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good to know for future reference, didn't see the move button : ) AlaskanGrass (talk) 12:42, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
