Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Juan de Lángara, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Battle of Cape St. Vincent. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi, did it ever occur to you that all the articles you are adding tree-lists to don't have tree lists for a reason? Cinderella157 (talk) 06:18, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello.

To address your question, I don't see any problem with regards to adding tree lists in military-related infoboxes. Tree lists are a more structured, streamlined way to organize wars, campaigns, and battles within an infobox, as opposed to bullet points or any other manner. They also allow for a seamless potential expansion should it be warranted. Reviewer1830 (talk) 01:07, 22 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

They introduce unnecessary visual clutter, and you shouldn't automatically add them when there isn't a clear reason to. Remsense ‥ 论 00:09, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Interesting. Respectfully, I don't see how it adds clutter, at least in general. Tree lists (from my perspective at least) still appear to be a more structured, streamlined way to organize wars, campaigns, and battles within an infobox, as opposed to clunkier bullet points.

Nonetheless, I do see your point, particularly with individuals with extensive combat experience. Putting that information into a tree list can produce a somewhat chaotic result, especially if there are multiple indentations with regards to campaigns and battles.

And while I have been active in adding tree lists lately, I haven't added them to every infobox with a military service section. Sometimes I organize the conflicts and battles using tools such as {{br}} and {{plainlist}}.

Overall, keep in mind that my edits are in good faith. Thank you! 😉 Reviewer1830 (talk) 02:04, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey, please consider other means to remedy typographical runts rather than hitting them with linebreaks—linebreaks have semantic value. Consider wrapping text in {{nowrap}} instead to force it onto its own line. Remsense ‥ 论 00:09, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Okay, thanks! I'll use {{nowrap}} for removing runts going forward! Reviewer1830 (talk) 02:05, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Again, please consider the semantics of what you are doing when transforming lists en masse. Creating a one-member list for the result of something is semantically incorrect and therefore creates concrete problems e.g. for screen reader users. Only structure something as a list if it is actually a list.

In any case, WP:RESULT says there should be no bullet points in that parameter at all, so I recommend enforcing what the guideline actually says while you're at it. Remsense ‥ 论 23:34, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
