Avoiding links to dab pages

Hallo, Thanks for adding the infobox to Beryl (company), but you added an ambiguous link to Bath. Here's my boiler-plate message ...

There is an easy way to avoid linking to disambiguation pages: if you go to "Preferences", "Gadgets", and look under "Appearance" you'll see "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" towards the bottom of the section. Select that tickbox, and whenever you Preview a page you'll be able to see whether you've accidentally linked to a disambiguation page. Thanks, and Happy Editing. PamD 12:38, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello MRSC!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

GeoJSON

So I noticed you made the GeoJSON page for Airfield ward. My question is how did you get the data for the 1978 boundaries? TheHaloVeteran2 (talk) 12:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Some of them have been published by the ONS / UK Data service [1] but watch out for older ones marked "synthetically generated" as they are far too imprecise. There are maps of the 1965 boundaries here. [2] MRSC (talk) 14:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Template issue

Are you aware of the almost-blanking of the template you originally created and filled many years ago?

See... EDIT:974255512.

Was there any discussion before this was done? I am not aware of any.

This template was very useful as it originally listed every UK prefix, by type, in a very compact format, with links out for specific types and examples.
