Disambiguation

@Poirot09: I don't understand why you reverted my DAB. I wasn't identifying which of the 25 stand-alone articles titled Beauty and the Beast (xxxxx) this one is, since as you noted, the note in parentheses specifies which it is, but to help the reader find the article they're looking for. I.e. "Ensuring that a reader who searches for a topic using a particular term can get to the information on that topic quickly and easily, whichever of the possible topics it might be," per WP:DAB.

@Yopienso Explained at WP:DABLINKUG. Poirot09 (talk) 20:44, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Poirot09 Thank you. But I still don't understand. WP:DABLINKUG says, For example, Treaty of Paris (1796) should include a hatnote pointing to the disambiguation page Treaty of Paris (disambiguation). We have exactly the same situation with movies titled Beauty and the Beast: Beauty and the Beast (1934 film), Beauty and the Beast (1946 film), Beauty and the Beast (1962 film), Beauty and the Beast (1978 film), Beauty and the Beast (1983 film), Beauty and the Beast (1987 film), Beauty and the Beast (1991 film), Beauty and the Beast (1996 film), Beauty and the Beast (1997 film), Beauty and the Beast (2005 film), Beauty and the Beast (2009 film), Beauty and the Beast (2014 film), and Beauty and the Beast (2017 film). Best, YoPienso (talk) 00:49, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yopienso Read the following sentence: "For example, Mirror (1975 film) is clearly about one specific movie and not about any of the many other meanings of "Mirror", and most users will know to type Mirror in the search box to find other topics." Poirot09 (talk) 13:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for the delay in responding. Real life suddenly became busy and I can't really spend time on this discussion.

I believe you're editing in good faith and are trying to be collegial with me. I've found your terse comments difficult to understand, though. YoPienso (talk) 13:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead section

According to WP:LEADSECTION, it should contain "no more than four well-composed paragraphs" as a rule of thumb. In this article, however, the lead section is currently six paragraphs. Given that, should we consider trimming it down? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 02:53, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
