Hatnotes[edit]
Hello @Eddaido:. Please see WP:HATNOTE. Firstly, hatnotes should be properly formatted, otherwise they may not display correctly (especially in mobile view). Secondly, the purpose of a hatnote "is to help readers locate a different article if the one they are at is not the one they're looking for", and (per WP:NAMB) a hatnote is not required where an article title is not ambiguous. In the case of Morris Six (1928), the article title is not ambiguous: no-one is going to land at Morris Six (1928) who really wants Morris Six MS. Note that the (new) redirect Morris Six redirects to Morris Six MS so someone who doesn't know which Morris Six they want is going to end up at Morris Six MS not at Morris Six (1928). That's why at Morris Six MS there needs to be a (properly-formatted) hatnote to explain why someone who searched for "Morris Six" has landed there and what the alternative is. Another course of action would be a 2-entry disambiguation page at Morris Six, but I really don't think that is necessary, or Morris Six could target Morris Six (1928). Please let me know if you think that latter case is better. Regards, Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:52, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- Now, there's a collection of pretty blue links. Its my understanding that six-cylinder Morrises were always available from the early 1920s on.
- I Admire your certainty that someone wanting to know more about a Morris Six (1928) will know exactly what they were on about and the keys they should strike on their (keyboard or whatever) to find it. I believe there are people who can repeat cricket scores from games a century or two ago but we are few and far between. You seem to be unable to imagine that. But then, as I said before, you're the expert, you make the decisions. Best wishes, Eddaido (talk) 09:07, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Eddaido: I get your sarcasm and apologise if I've come across as anything other than helpful. What's important is that a reader who types "Morris Six" gets sent to Morris Six MS which has a hatnote pointing to Morris Six (1928): that's all that's needed, and wasn't the case a few days ago.
