Flags for films

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for editing several film articles, but flags should not be placed in the infobox on any article. Please read this and this for more information. If you have any further questions, please ask on my talk page, or on the film project talk page. Lugnuts (talk) 09:31, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Yes, there is a fair few articles with flags in them, and they are being removed as and when editors find them. Instead, the majority have been replaced text ({{FilmSpain}}, for example), which then links to the cinema article of that country. Most countries have the above template setup for them (see Category:Cinema of templates for more). If you find one that doesn't and you're unsure on how to create the template, again, please get back to me. Happy editing! Lugnuts (talk) 09:53, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Your user page in a category

Your userpage User:Ding Chavez has a category, and so appears in Category:States and territories established in 1963.
As the guideline on userpages describes, this is undesired. It is suggested that you edit the userpage to prevent this showing. It can be done by adding a semicolon (:) before the word Category, like this: [[:Category:States and territories established in 1963]].

This is also true for the other categories on your Userpage. -DePiep (talk) 11:09, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I would like to remove them, but I have no idea how. I didn't add the categories myself; they were auto-generated by the infobox template. Your suggestion only adds a new link to the category and does not remove the already existing one. I created the infoboxes for an article I plan to write when or if I find good sources. I placed them on my userspace as a placeholder, and the categories where generated automatically. Any suggestion on how to prevent the auto-generated categories from displaying would be greatly appreciated. Ding Chavez (talk) 14:51, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

You're right, a tricky thing. This is what I discovered. You can prevent the Categories by adding the line "| _noautocad = indeed", like:

{{Infobox former country
|_noautocat      = indeed
|native_name     = 
|conventional_long_name = Sultanate of Zanzibar
|common_name     = Zanzibar
...

• The exact text is unimportant, as long as there is any text. "indeed" seemed readable to me;. Also clarifying could be: | _noautocad = sandbox.
• When the development is finished, and the infobox is copied into an article, just remove the whole line. That will activate the templates.

-DePiep (talk) 15:15, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

That worked. Thanks for the help! Ding Chavez (talk) 19:42, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

It's even getting better. There are some more user pages with this template. I talked with the template people, and they will adjust: no such categories when in Userspace (automated). -DePiep (talk) 08:57, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Misclick fix

He misclicked in double, to be reverted, since www.code2001.com site always was already in text of article.

February 2024

Hi Ding Chavez! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at List of Chinese flags that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 00:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

I have been editing on Wikipedia since 2006 so I'm well aware what a minor edit is. I marked it as minor since it was only to reflect what is said in the article about the Eight Banners: that the Plain Banners were formed in 1601 and the bordered ones in 1615. A minor copyedit.
