I get that the article updates constantly but I had to painstakingly correct the deeply flawed rankings of largest malls. Whenever someone adds a new entry, more likely than not, the entire numbering system also needs to be adjusted. Yet it appears some editors are somewhat lazy and couldn't be bothered to fix it entirely when they add a new mall. it would be nice to make sure that this article is not neglected and to be mindful of this issue.

Shopping malls and shopping centers

I don’t understand that we have both a shopping mall article and a shopping center article, if the terms have such similar meanings. 200.118.63.88 (talk) 15:28, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was largely responsible for restructuring the two articles and tackling the massive task of defining the types of shopping centers and malls, and organizing the information which had become bloated and mixed-up. The simple reason - and I feel that this is explained in the articles - is that a mall is a type of shopping center and there are many other types of shopping centers: Community shopping center, Neighborhood center, Strip mall (convenience center), Power centers (UK: retail parks), Lifestyle center, Theme/festival center, Outlet center, Pedestrian mall (UK: Shopping precinct), Shopping arcade, and others. None of those is known as a "shopping mall". Shopping mall in my opinion does deserve its own article because it has its own in-depth detailed history (first enclosed mall, decline of malls, etc.), also table of the largest malls, etc. Happy to discuss further!

Ranking numbering flaws

I get that the article updates constantly but I had to painstakingly correct the deeply flawed rankings of largest malls.[1] When someone adds a new entry to that list (of largest shopping malls), more likely than not, the entire numbering system also needs to be adjusted. Yet it appears some editors are somewhat lazy and couldn't be bothered to update the overall rankings entirely whenever they add a new entry. It would be nice to make sure that this article is not neglected in that area over time, and to be mindful of this issue. I Fixed it today but it is potentially likely to run into this issue in the future.49.186.113.228 (talk) 05:18, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
