I almost gave up after numerous fails. You may try fixing if you're in the mood. orz -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 23:51, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for August 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Causeway Bay North Station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victoria Park (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ill-WD template
Hello! I just added musician Ken Morioka to the Deaths in June 2016 list as he is a very significant figure not to be listed, but as the English Wikipedia currently only has a section on him in the Soft Ballet article, I wanted to use the [[{{{1}}}]] template to use the Japanese article about him for his name. Unfortunately I can't seem to figure out the syntax. If you have a moment, could you please help? Thanks!Umenohana686 (talk) 05:43, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Umenohana686: Fixed. (I've changed it so it uses the
{{Interlanguage link multi}}/{{illm}}template instead, as there is only one article about him.) To use the{{Interlanguage link Wikidata}}/{{ill-wd}}template, you would write{{ill-WD|Ken Morioka|Q11539547}}, as "Q11539547" is Morioka's Wikidata identifier.

- @Umenohana686: It's usually in the sidebar on the left ("Wikidata item"), in the Tools section between "Page information" and "Expand citations".

- @Jc86035: Thanks! By the way, another editor has attempted to remove his name claiming lack of own article on the English version means he is not significant. Do you have any experience with this issue spanning interlanguage Wikis? When the news broke here in Japan, the headline ran on all major news networks and as you have seen, he has a Japanese article (in addition to his work being covered in other articles on the English Wikipedia).

- @Umenohana686: I don't really edit in that section of Wikipedia much, so I'll assume the solution is to create an article. When you have edited for a month and have at least 500 edits, you could try using the content translation tool, but currently it's only possible for you to translate it manually.

- @Jc86035: I see, thank you. I will translate the most useful/sourceable parts from the Japanese article and hopefully produce at least a solid stub shortly. Umenohana686 (talk) 07:26, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Jc86035: Thanks, I'm starting on a draft for one now. They said it had to be there within one month of his death, so I'm not sure how much it will help. I reverted it for now and cited the long standing Japanese article, maybe they weren't paying attention and only saw the redlink. Umenohana686 (talk) 07:02, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Umenohana686: I think that you shouldn't add him back until there is a solid draft for an article about him; see WP:Stand-alone lists § Common selection criteria. Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use {{re|Jc86035}} to reply to me 07:15, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
