[edit] Posting M-61 Historic Western Terminus

I observed the Infobox for M-76 showing its historic western terminus with M-22. I would like to see M-61's Infobox show its western most historic terminus with US-131 (now Mackinaw Trail), but, for some reason, even after I tried to do it by comparing it with one you did (maybe the M-76/M-22 one), it won't show up that way in M-61's Infobox. If you think this would be of interest information wise, can you post it in M-61's Infobox, because I don't know what I'm doing wrong (BTW, I drove old 61 from M-115 to Mackinaw Trail this past week). Thank you much, and take care. User:Igo4U

I only did 4 highways when I got your reply. I didn't mean any harm. I was only trying to make the articles informative. User:Igo4U, 3-15-2008.

Thanks, I will implement your suggestions ASAP

[edit] Why are you putting DAB links on all the Michigan Articles

I've noticed that you are putting {{dablink}} at the top of all the Michigan Highways articles. I don't think this is correct. A dablink is for when a user could get to a page accidentally due to typing a non-specific name.

For example ATSC redirects to ATSC Standards, but someone could have been looking for Army Training Support Center, so ATSC standards has a disclaimer at the top.

But since neither m11 nor M-11 redirects to M-11 (Michigan highway) no-one could have arrived at the M-11 highway page accidentally, therefore you don't need the hat (which is ugly, annoying and detracts from the article). -- KelleyCook (talk) 16:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Because the dab page does exist, there are other highways listed on them (in the UK, in Hungary) and it's the right thing to do. Imzadi1979 (talk) 16:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
No its not the right thing to do. Pretty much the ONLY reason you put a dablink is if a user could arrive at a page by accident. It is definitely not to mention that this page is referred to by a disambiguation page and since all the redirects to these pages either have "Michigan or MI in them", it is irrelevant that there are other highways names M-xx. Please stop this and read Wikipedia:Hatnote, WP:MOSDAB, Template:Otheruses/doc, and Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation. -- KelleyCook (talk) 16:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Seems Kelley's right here. The one you should have been linked to though is WP:NAMB (which redirects to a specific section on Wikipedia:Hatnote). -- Kéiryn (talk) 17:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for the barnstar! I'm a little busy at the moment, but I will get back to the highway article for the copyedit. — Wackymacs (talk ~ edits) 09:13, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
