Wikipedia talk:NYRM

Why this page[edit]

Immediate answer, to answer this question and any similar.

But it seems very likely to be more generally useful. Andrewa (talk) 17:37, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks etc[edit]

Another function of this page is to define terms that may currently be redlinks. In particular, wp:NYRM2017 and wt:NYRM2017 should remain redlinks until a formal RM is opened. When (if and when?) that occurs, the wp page should redirect to the discussion, and the wt page should explain the function of the redirect.

Meantime, a (temporarily red)-link to wp:NYRM2017 can be used like this to indicate explicitly the discussion intended.

Or hopefully, if you just say NYRM2017 without a link people will understand. But a link here or to wp:NYRM will not hurt. Andrewa (talk) 18:26, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course wp:NYRM2017 and wt:NYRM2017 are no longer redlinks, and wp:NYRM2018 will probably not remain one, see this recently closed discussion. Andrewa (talk) 16:20, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it short[edit]

Of course this page belongs to the whole community, so feel free to update it.

But please try to keep it short. It will always link to long pages which themselves link to long pages. Sigh. Andrewa (talk) 18:19, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
