Luis Díaz

[[Luis Díaz (Colombian footballer)]] -> [[Luis Díaz (footballer, born 1997)]] – post-move cleanup, previous title will need to be redirected to the disambiguation page. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 09:27, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Qwerfjkl has kindly fixed the links using DisamAssist. Luis Díaz (Colombian footballer) can safely be retargeted to the dab (due to Luis Díaz (footballer, born 2004)) if that's the intention. Certes (talk) 14:58, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lucca (first article)

[[Lucca Holanda Sampaio Tavares]] -> [[Lucca (footballer, born 2003)]]

Can you help me clean up following this page move, please? I've performed it in order to distinguish two footballers that are known by the same name.

Oltrepier (talk) 13:36, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oltrepier: Could you please help me understand why you wish to bypass this redirect? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 14:05, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lucca (second article)

[[Lucca (footballer)]] -> [[Lucca (footballer, born 1990)]]

Can you help me clean up following this page move, please? I've performed it in order to distinguish this article from another footballer I mentioned in the previous message.

Oltrepier (talk) 13:44, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oltrepier: Do you want to bypass this redirect in order to change Lucca (footballer) to a disambiguation page? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 14:05, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GoingBatty My bad, I forgot to mention that I've already added more details about both footballers in the disambiguation page for "Lucca", so I don't need that anymore.
I was mainly worried about direct wiki-links (the ones I can look for from the "What links here" section of each page)... Oltrepier (talk) 14:10, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Price is Right

The Price Is Right --> The Price Is Right (franchise)

Please change these links after a move. Thanks! EpicPupper (talk) 00:30, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can't find insource instances of either of these? Around 56 instances are qualified per the disambig page. Neils51 (talk) 08:58, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove span lang=en dir=ltr from 113 articles

We discussed this on Discord and I can't think of a legitimiate reason for <span lang="en" dir="ltr"> to be in the wikicode. I think these should be mass removed. Here's a list of where they occur. cc @Chlod and SWinxy: If no one objects, let's remove them all using AWB. An example removal would be converting <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Test</span> to Test.–Novem Linguae (talk) 07:21, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No objections here; it's probably just phab:T116887. Since this is an English, left-to-right wiki, the span is just dead weight. Chlod (say hi!) 07:25, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Doing... –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:42, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I decided to pause because this may violate WP:COSMETICBOT. Do I need a BRFA to make these changes? –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:50, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are not a bot, and this is a small-scale run. Just Do It. Primefac (talk) 14:12, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Novem Linguae: I suggest turning on AWB's general fixes and typo fixing if you haven't already, to improve the probability that your edit will make changes that are visible to the reader. GoingBatty (talk) 14:14, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There might be legitimate uses btw. For instance you could have an English part inside a German quote on the English wiki. Doubt those would be very common however. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 09:57, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. I did mainspace and draftspace. I think the others can be left alone. There's lots still on talk pages, some in userspace, and a few in other miscellaneous places. –Novem Linguae (talk) 01:54, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Spans for other languages and text directions

There are about 1,000 uses of <span lang= and 150 uses of <span dir=. Should this feature of MediaWiki be removed on enwiki? It seems like it's people pressing buttons they shouldn't press rather than any intentional thing. SWinxy (talk) 20:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unlike the span lang=en dir=ltr above, most of these non-en non-ltr ones appear to be correct usages. That is, they are marking text that is in other languages, distinguishing it from surrounding en ltr text.
However, I am not sure I understand the point of marking foreign language text with spans. Does this change anything visually for the reader? (I don't think it does.) Maybe it's a screen reader / MOS:ACCESS thing? (Seems more likely, anyone know for sure?) –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:56, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See Template:Lang#Rationale. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:07, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We should probably change them to {{lang}}, then, even though they output identical HTML. SWinxy (talk) 21:18, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Replacement

Requesting the replacement of Infobox Indian state legislative assembly constituency with {{Infobox Indian constituency}} on usage pages. This replacement can be a drop-in as it doesn't need to change or replace any parameters. Additionally, it would be nice to add |type=SLA in every replacement.

For example, the change may be as follows: 

 {{Infobox Indian state legislative assembly constituency
 | name = {{{name}}}
 | 1 = a
 | 2 = b
 | 3 = c 
 ... ... }}
 
to 

 {{Infobox Indian constituency
 | name = {{{name}}}
 | type = SLA
 | 1 = a
 | 2 = b
 | 3 = c 
 ... ...}}

I initially proposed this in Wikipedia:Bot requests, but as it did not receive any response and it is a one-time task, I am relisting the proposal here.

The merger discussion can be found at: Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2023 April 11#Merger of Infobox Indian state legislative assembly constituency and Infobox Lok Sabha Constituency. Prarambh20 (talk) 13:08, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
