Redirecting articles[edit]

I don't actually oppose your intent at bold redirecting episode summaries of a show to a page that treats them all encyclopaedically, but you are doing it wrong. If you move the page to draft space and then redirect, this is a backdoor deletion, that would - unchecked - see deletion of the contributer's edit history in those pages when they fall out of draft. The correct way to have done this boldly is simply to redirect the pages. Also, moving to draft boldly is ineligible on pages over 90 days old. These have been around for over a decade. Draftify should not be used. Now you have done this, and considering some or all of these have been to AfD before, the only route open for cleanup is AfD.

I would have just redirected them if there hadn't been previous deletion discussions. I'm not sure what you mean by "backdoor deletion", every article that is moved to draftspace needs the redirect to be updated so it points to the correct mainspace location, otherwise we could be sending readers to the draftspace. I was unaware of this 90 day rule, I have been involved in many discussions that have led to similar articles being sent to the draftspace well after 90 days. Deleted drafts can be restored so I don't see what the issue is that so desperately needs to be cleaned up. - adamstom97 (talk) 10:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An AfD discussion can lead to an older article being sent to draft, but it can't be done boldly. If you knew it was ineligible for a bold redirect, I am not sure why you thought it would be eligible for a bold draft and then redirect! As for backdoor deletion, I thought I had explained. The pages contain edit history - all the edits every contributer made. When you bold redirect, no edit history is lost. Someone can revert the redirect and the history will all be available. By sending to draft, you created a new redirect, which you then retargeted. It has no edit history. Look: [1]. The edit history is now all in draft space, but the draft will be deleted if no one edits and publishes the draft. It is a backdoor deletion method that jettisons edit history. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That would only be "backdoor deletion" if the draft was deleted and the edit history permanently lost. But (a) the draft won't be deleted if interested editors work on it and then move it back to the mainspace when it is ready, and (b) the edit history of deleted drafts is not lost permanently and can be restored if requested. - adamstom97 (talk) 10:18, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

that would - unchecked - ... Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:22, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean by that. - adamstom97 (talk) 10:23, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One[edit]

On 24 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Edgar Wright's pitch for an Ant-Man film in 2006 helped to shape the early films of Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Case of piped link[edit]

I agree, there was no reason for me to change the case of that piped link. My bad. But why did you change it, before and after me? Dicklyon (talk) 18:14, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. I saw you change the capital letters to lowercase but that wasn't needed for the first one, so I restored that one. - adamstom97 (talk) 18:35, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My first edit was needed to fix the punctuation and to fix the linkage so it wouldn't appear on the report Wikipedia:Database reports/Linked miscapitalizations. The fact that I went a little further than necessary in lowercasing didn't create any problem, so why did you jump in to fix it? My second edit was because I didn't look carefully at what you did; I should have just left it, for which I'm sorry. But then you again jumped in to fix what wasn't in any way broken. Dicklyon (talk) 21:44, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, I agree that the case there doesn't matter. So I'm wondering why you're changing it while criticizing me for changing it. Just seems like an odd thing to do. Dicklyon (talk) 21:46, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why you think it is a problem to fix the formatting. I know my changes had no impact on how the link works, that's not why I did it. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:52, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not a problem, just wondering why you did it. Your reverts suggested that you thought I had left it in a non-ideal state. What do you mean now by "fix the formatting"? Dicklyon (talk) 22:08, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need for the first letter of the link to be lowercase when it is piped, so I fixed it. Nothing more complicated than that. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is equally no need for it to be uppercase, so no fix was needed. No big deal. Dicklyon (talk) 23:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for The Star-Spangled Man[edit]

On 7 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Star-Spangled Man, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the production team of the TV series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier created a highway more than five miles (8 km) long to capture visual effects for a truck action sequence for the episode "The Star-Spangled Man"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Star-Spangled Man. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Star-Spangled Man), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.
