1-464 moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to 1-464. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and Any sources that aren't user-generated would help immensely.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Remsense 🌈 论 21:26, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please also see WP:NOTBROKEN, since you seem to do this with all piped links so far. Remsense 🌈 论 21:28, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please do not add unnecessary hatnotes. Follow the guidance at Wikipedia:Hatnotes.

What article are you talking about? SovietAddict68 (talk) 18:25, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

East Germany. Moskau (song). Commonwealth of Nations. West Germany. DrKay (talk) 19:21, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Piped links? I don't know what you're talking about, I was only linking articles together! Do you think I would ever add piped links? Just explain to me what the standard style should be, instead of trying to label me as a vandal, I am only trying to contribute to Wikipedia, not vandalize it. If you think I did such actions...

I haven't mentioned piped links or vandalism. DrKay (talk) 20:39, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What are you mentioning then? SovietAddict68 (talk) 20:42, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Please do not add unnecessary hatnotes. Follow the guidance at Wikipedia:Hatnotes. DrKay (talk) 17:26, 10 June 2025 (UTC)"[reply]

I'm sorry if I added any unnecessary hatnotes, but there were some reasons for me to add them.

East Germany is different from West Germany, so I added a hatnote for easy access to the other article.
Moskau is confused with Moscow, the reason for this confusion is that they sound similar, so I added a hatnote linking to the other article.
There are two specific alliances that start with "Commonwealth", the Commonwealth of Nations, for former British Empire territories, and the Commonwealth of Independent States for former Soviet republics, another minor reason, is that I saw a hatnote on Commonwealth of Independent States redirecting to Commonwealth of Nations, so I ought to do the same with Commonwealth of Nations.
Same as East Germany

Hope this clarifies what I'm talking about and why I added the hatnotes, are there any modifcations I can make to any of these hatnotes, do they need to be replaced, or removed altogether? SovietAddict68 (talk) 21:09, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No. No-one is going to mistake Moskau (song) for the city. Moskau (song) is already clearly disambiguated. CIS is already included on Commonwealth (disambiguation) which is already linked in the hatnote on Commonwealth of Nations. The duplication is unnecessary. You have been told this twice in edit summaries already. East Germany and West Germany are already clearly disambiguated. As stipulated at Wikipedia:Hatnote, hatnotes should be limited, brief, and only used when there is a reasonable probability that the two article titles can be confused.
