''I don't know how merging the entries would help. The practice is to put the replacement riders right below the regular riders they're replacing. Putting regular riders first then putting all the replacement riders below them is not the practice anymore: it's confusing. Readers won't know who replaced whom. 'Engr.

 * Hello @Engr. Smitty, all noted.
 * I had no idea this was the new practice, as I've regularly looked at motorcycle racing pages for the last decade and this was the first ever time I'd seen the same replacement rider being listed multiple times under the same team. Over the last few years, I've grown used to piecing the puzzle together by "filling in the gaps" i.e. if one permanent riders misses Round 4, the other one misses Round 6, and the replacement rider was on on Rounds 4 and 6, it doesn't take too much to understand which rider was being replaced.
 * It honestly looked like a blatant mistake to me, hence why I moved on to correct it, as I have done multiple times in the past - it never even crossed my mind it was deliberate since it looks immensely unaesthetic & makes it harder for users to go through the list due to the added clutter. This new practice, in my opinion, considerably decreases the pages' quality.
 * That aside, pay me no mind. Sending me those links with Codes of Conduct / beginner guides, due to a honest attempt at fixing a perceived mistake, is incredibly insulting and clearly meant as an unwarranted demonstration of power. Message received - I won't be touching any other Wikipedia article, you won't have to worry about me. 81.109.71.137 (talk) 00:22, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
