Talk:Madeleine McCann

Untitled
Why is the page still protected? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hicktunus (talk • contribs) 13:09, 16 February 2008.
 * Because the subject, Madeleine McCann, is a non-notable person (though her disappearance is notable) and protection prevents recreation of the page, sometimes in error. If a notable person of this name arises then the page can be unprotected to allow creation of a new article. TerriersFan (talk) 19:25, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Yellow check.svg Partly done: added three of them. It's not a good idea to use categories to assert unverifiable information though. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:20, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello.

Please remove Category:2003 births, which is irrelevant in this context, as nobody is ever going look for her using that category.

Please add Category:Missing English children, which is obviously infinitely more likely to be searched.

Thank you.

 * Yellow check.svg Partly done: I have added cat:missing children, but I have not removed the births category, as it is standard to include folks in that category. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 02:54, 19 May 2020 (UTC)


 * But it's not even an article. HandsomeFella (talk) 07:01, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Link to Wikidata
I would like this redircet to be linked to corresponding WD object. That would help for other WP versions. In order to link it to WD the redirect needs to first be undone and after the link been done a few seconds later, to recreate it. The protection will not allow me to do thisYger (talk) 14:47, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Please change Disappearance of Madeleine McCann to Disappearance of Madeleine McCann and add R to section because, as already noted, this is a subtopic of that article. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 23:55, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ the lead of the article already calls out the subject's name so is an appropriate target. — xaosflux  Talk 14:41, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
