Talk:Al-Amir bi-Ahkam Allah

Arabic?
The transcription "Al-Amīr" does not seem to match Arabic الآمر ... AnonMoos (talk) 07:03, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the transliteration according to the cited form الآمر.

Add back double links in infobox
Heyy, and : you (separately) removed links I'd put in "Cairo" and "Fatimid Caliphate" in the birth date field of the infobox.

I had seen them linked once within the infobox, but I chose to link them a second time at the place of birth as I figured (from my own behaviour) that birth- and death-date and place are spots where a lot of readers would glance first; Cairo being linked in the caption at the top would be completely lost, and perhaps readers wouldn't look at the caliph's title before his place of birth. What do you think, do you disagree with this rationale?

I only found out about MOS:GEOLINK while voraciously reading the manual of style for linking before posting this, but separate links to modern-day Cairo and the Fatimid Caliphate still make sense to me, as the Caliphate is a historical geographic placeand linking it here will provide important context about the historical state, at the expense of some link clarity, to readers who will glance at the infobox first. &mdash;I&#39;llbeyourbeach (talk) 20:13, 14 May 2023 (UTC)


 * @I'llbeyourbeach I don’t disagree with your quite sensible suggestion, the problem is though that in any upcoming review process (I am planning to get this up to FA standard fairly soon) they will be required to be removed again per MOS. Constantine  ✍  20:20, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The MOS isn't absolute is it? You can show them my (our? ^-^) rationale for making the exception. &mdash;I&#39;llbeyourbeach (talk) 20:23, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I've adjusted the link to Cairo in the caption to Islamic Cairo and restored the link in birth_place. I don't think a second link to Fatimid Caliphate would be necessarily helpful. &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 07:22, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
