Tip of the day...

Centralizing project discussion

When a project includes multiple operational pages, it is generally best to redirect their discussion pages to the main discussion page for the project. That way, participants remain aware of what is going on with the project without having to search out every nook and cranny where discussions may be taking place.

The exception to this strategy is when a task is delegated that would generate a great deal of discussion, and centralizing it with the project's other discussions would create a discussion page of unmanageable size.

Disambiguation pages

Givennames, thanks for your edits to Mukhtar (disambiguation). I have made some changes to the page based on MOS:DAB. In particular, I removed Mukhtar (Indian lawyer) because I could find no mention of him in any article. If you have any questions about that or my other edits, feel free to ask on my talk page or at Talk:Mukhtar (disambiguation). If you reply at Talk:Mukhtar (disambiguation), be sure to start your message with {{ping|Leschnei}}, so I will be sent an alert. Leschnei (talk) 11:54, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
