Ayn Ghazal

I recently turned Ayn Ghazal into a disambiguation page, and it's now tagged as having many incoming links. The thing is, I think I fixed them all more than 24 hours ago (I missed some nested templates, but others got them). Is it normal for the job queue to take this long to update the list of what links there? Or am I missing something? – Joe (talk) 21:44, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joe Roe: Special:WhatLinksHere/Ayn Ghazal has a few incoming links from mainspace articles to redirects to that page. I think they're not being automatically detected because they're redirects. Would you mind checking it out? --Un assiolo (talk) 22:45, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They weren't caught because they were wrapped in templates like {{main}}. Think I got them all now. – Joe (talk) 07:42, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joe Roe: Template:Editnotices/Page/Ayn Ghazal needs to be moved, presumably without leaving a redirect. Or create a new one for the moved article, I don't know if it applies to disambiguation pages. --Un assiolo (talk) 15:35, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Euclid Network

Could someone take a look at Euclid Network. Ths edit with the edit summary "Attempted (poorly) to add a brief disambiguation for the business,.." added the disambiguation banner, but it doesn't seem like a dab page to me & I am not sure what they were trying to achieve.— Rod ^talk 18:58, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've just rolled that edit back entirely - it's trying to hijack the article inappropiately. I wonder whether either subject is actually notable, though. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 19:15, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New York

In editing Kenneth Chesebro, I made a link to New York, not realizing it was a dab page. The bot came along and disambiguated it, but incorrectly, by linking to New York City instead of to New York (state).

I've now corrected the link. I write to call the Project's attention to a possibly recurring problem. With something like "New York", it's probably impossible for a bot to figure out whether the editor meant the city or the state. JamesMLane t c 14:29, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cnwilliams is not a bot. They're a human using semi-automated tools and, like all humans including myself, sometimes make mistakes. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:03, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes my mistake. I should have realised it was the State and not the City, but I had just corrected a few others that were definitely the City and the tool I use does suggest the same change as the previous one made. Cnwilliams (talk) 16:06, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation! I see you're from the UK -- I don't know how many Americans, let alone foreigners, understand that attorney licensing in the U.S. is by state governments (not federal and not municipality). JamesMLane t c 18:33, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dab links in Template:Empires

Several dab links in Template:Empires were fixed a few days ago, by User:The Banner, and I have been waiting for the articles on which it is trascluded to be removed from Articles With Multiple Dablinks but it doesn't seem to be happening. Could someone (perhaps good with AWB) run some null edits on those listed at Pages that link to "Template:Empires" — Rod ^talk 20:22, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
