Disambiguation link notification for December 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Stella Dallas (1937 film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jack Holt ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Stella_Dallas_%281937_film%29 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Stella_Dallas_%281937_film%29?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Gentle reminder & suggestion
Hi, I was going to post the uw-editsummary & uw-warn templates here, but I see that you are an experienced Wikipedian.

As per the GusF - Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org) - Edit Counter - XTools report, you leave edit summaries just over 60% of the time. Please endeavor to leave edit summaries. It really helps us fellow editors to know what you are doing.

Also, I noticed that deleted Prosvelent's edits from Me Too movement, but did not leave a user warning template on Prosvelent's talk page. Prosvelent is a new editor & seems to have made good faith edits, & deserves to know why the edits were reverted. I presume you deleted the edits because they ran afoul of the consensus to prohibit the Daily Mail as a reliable source, but neither Prosvelent or anyone else would know that without an edit summary or a message on the user talk page. Good feedback will help keep new editors editing.

Perhaps you might consider using the semi-automated Twinkle tool for reversion. I use Twinkle for the vast majority of my reversions. It provides  options on the diff screen. If one chooses the first two options, Twinkle presents a prompt for the edit summary. If one chooses the latter option, Twinkle automatically populates the edit summary. Twinkle then opens up a tab or window on the user talk page & presents a drop-down menu of warning template options.

While I do not use Huggle, my understanding is that semi-automated tool provides similar capabilities.

Thank you for your attention to this, & thank you for editing Wikipedia.

 * P.S. Also, under the Editor tab under Preferences, in the Editing section you can check "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary." Peaceray (talk) 18:48, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
