KSS-III submarine

Fine, I will re-read the articles/links that you have sent to me previously and I will refer to them, in case of any error on my part. I'll try to see if there are any errors. Please, do not have me blocked. Please revert your complaint from the Administrators' Board. Let's just settle this and make peace. Kishore Editing - 16:75 (IST) 28 January, 2022

Template:Treaty Cruisers Link Styles

I noticed this edit you made to Template:Treaty Cruisers in which you replaced the links with the sclass template. Due to this change, each class is rendered as "[Name] class" throughout the entire template, which I view as redundant as the template already establishes that it is refering to different classes of treaty cruisers. Also, the template did not change anything for the Italian ships, which removes the point of distinguishing between unique ships and classes. I was wondering if there was anything specific you intended to achieve with these changes.

Congrats on Editor of the Week! [[User:GGOTCC|GGOTCC]] (talk) 01:07, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. I use templates for two things. 1)Using the full names of the ships. It is not the Hipper class, it is the Admiral Hipper class. Within an article a name can be shortened, but the link in the template it should be the full name of the class. 2) To prevent vandalism. Some vandal changes the name of the template and it will throw out error messages. Ditto in articles. Prevents subtle vandalism. However, if you want, I can just change the template to show the names of the classes and not "**** class" Llammakey (talk) 12:40, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

I see, thank you very much! It looks much better now. I'm not that familiar with the sclass template.

Could you elaborate on your point on vandalism? Is the issue someone changing the link itself or the template inside the article? I did not know there was a way to conteract this, that's cool! GGOTCC 23:00, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Let's say a you have a link that says [USS Arizona|USS Arizona], but someone changes to [USS Arizona|USS Ostrich] instead. Unless you know that the ship was never named USS Ostrich, then this looks like a normal link to the everyday user, or someone who might not notice a spelling mistake if it were changed to USS Azona, because the link would still be blue. However, if you put it in the template, any change to the name will throw up error messages or leave it as a red link. Llammakey (talk) 15:01, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Oooh, I see what you mean now. That is clever, thank you for telling me! GGOTCC 00:58, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Violet (WAGL-250)

Hi! Thanks for looking at USCGC Violet (WAGL-250). I just wanted to let you know why I reverted your title change. You are absolutely correct that there is no current article on other Violet ships on the site, and I am aware that the pennant number is not supposed to be in the title when there is no ambiguity. However, I am currently writing an article on USLHT Violet, the 1870 tender which preceded the Violet in this article. Given that both vessels were named USLHT Violet during their careers, I thought the pennant number could be helpful in steering readers to the content they desire.

Not really, since the pennant number only applies to the Coast Guard part of the career. If it were disambiguated for USHLT, it would have to be by date the ship was launched, since the lighthouse service did not use pennant numbers to my knowledge. So USLHT Violet (1870) and USLHT Violet (1930). Is there a USCGC Violet from after the ship left service? Either way, there should be a USLHT Violet (1930) redirect for USCGC Violet.

Or conversely, you could rename the page to its first name, and then have the redirect for the Coast Guard name. Llammakey (talk) 19:00, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
