History section[edit]

As one might be able to ascertain, it ain't complete. Some pics would be cool, too. I might even take some myself. --Slightlyslack 05:02, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

Most neighborhoods in Los Angeles are titled in the format Mid-Wilshire, Los Angeles. This is so standard that the nonconforming title of this article results in redlinks at, for example, Central Los Angeles. I plan to move this article to Mid-Wilshire, Los Angeles unless someone objects. --MelanieN (talk) 16:01, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. GeorgeLouis (talk) 17:09, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done! --MelanieN (talk) 17:57, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found the same problem at Mid-City West and moved it to Mid-City West, Los Angeles citing this discussion as the reason. --MelanieN (talk) 22:55, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And now I'm having trouble cleaning up after myself. When I check "What links here" on both articles, I find a ton of articles that link to the old name, most likely from templates. My problem is that Los Angeles has so flaming many templates, I can't find them all! I corrected the links at Template:Wilshire and Template:Los Angeles regions, but there must be at least one other that I missed, since there are still so many links out there to the old link. Can either of you help by finding the templates I am missing and fixing the links to Mid-Wilshire and Mid-City West? Thanks. --MelanieN (talk) 00:18, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The thing to do is go to the actual redirect page, click on what links here, and then use the menu at the top to limit the namespace to templates. That way you get a list of only templates that are linking to the actual redirect. here is the result for Mid-City West, which I'll work through right now. Let me know if you have trouble generating a similar list for the other one.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:26, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. It's more complicated that I thought. That search is showing a bunch of templates, but their only link to Mid-City West seems to be through the Los Angeles regions one, which you fixed. Somehow they still show up in the search as linking to the redirect rather than to the new page. I wonder if it's a database latency problem and it'll all be OK tomorrow?— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:34, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Darn - I thought you had solved it and I was impressed by how clever a solution you came up with. OK, let's check it out again tomorrow. --MelanieN (talk) 00:37, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If it doesn't solve itself by then we can ask for technical help at the Village Pump.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:54, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
