Botched mobile edit

My apologies for messing up the section header at User talk:2405:204:1484:7B0F:F509:D1A9:C3F0:4E1A. I was editing from my phone, which does not have the best interface for editing. I must have fat-fingered a paste when I was trying to select text elsewhere. Peaceray (talk) 15:55, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

No problem. If I had a dollar for every edit that wasn't exactly what I intended... --ShelfSkewed Talk 17:21, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks for your warm welcome. I can be more enthusiastic trying to add links to some of the articles. I am a Malaysian who is finding a lot of information regarding subjects in Malaysia are missing and/or ill-researched. It motivates me to add more red links in Malaysia-related articles so more people can expand on those. I do apologise for being less selective initially, but I promise to learn and do better soon.

Adding selective red links to encourage article creation is absolutely fine. Even better is creating the articles yourself. Happy editing!—ShelfSkewed Talk 02:09, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Can I add disambiguation entries of heroes already mentioned?

In the article MLBB, some heroes are already mentioned. Can they be added in disambiguation pages? Sorry if some changes I made in the disambiguation pages in the past became an annoyance. Thanks for the help! Dwaynex18 (talk) 14:06, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

@Dwaynex18: If they are mentioned in an article, they can be listed on the disambiguation page, and the article they are mentioned in should be linked in the description. Further guidance on editing disambiguation pages can be found at WP:MOSDAB. And no need to apologize for your edits—they were obviously intended to be productive, and people adding stuff that other people don't know is how this whole thing works. Just keep in mind that creating and improving actual articles is the place to start. Disambiguation pages are meant to be navigation aids to find the articles where the information is. Happy editing! —ShelfSkewed Talk 15:15, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Please help create a disambiguation page for One Deadly Summer

Could you please help create a disambiguation page for One Deadly Summer. It needs to include these two pages:
https://en.wikipedia.org/One_Deadly_Summer_(novel)
https://en.wikipedia.org/One_Deadly_Summer_(film)

Many thanks in advance. Philburmc (talk) 15:41, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

@Philburmc: I'm not sure that's the best solution in this case. With just two uses, there's no reason to direct every user to a dab page to get where they want to go. Because the film article is more heavily trafficked and linked than the novel article, my inclination is to return the film article to the plain title and then add a hatnote on that article pointing to the novel. Is there a reason not to arrange it this way? —ShelfSkewed Talk 18:03, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

@ShelfSkewed: You're more experienced in these matters so I'd go with whatever you think is best. Would you please help revert the film article to the plain title and add a hatnote to the novel page. Thank you. Philburmc (talk) 18:48, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

 Done —ShelfSkewed Talk 18:59, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
