Tales of soundtracks

About the games I added, they are not reusing musics. Go look Tales of Breaker, Tales of Commons or Tales of Wahrheit up. They are full fledged original Tales of games with their own musics. That's like saying Tales of Rebirth or Tales of Arise's musics are only remixes. Spinoffs games like Tales of the Heroes Twin Brave or Tales of VS, only features remixes from main games but are on the page. No reasons why Tales of Wahrheit, a mainline entry with a fully original soundtrack, cannot be cited too.Leptitgay (talk) 00:12, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not super familiar with the series and go mostly by official soundtrack credits. As long as they include original music by Sakuraba then it should be fine, although it's still technically WP:OR unless it can be verified. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 00:20, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Basketball player infobox

Please do not remove the state from the high school field (as you did with Jamir Watkins). This infobox uses City, State format consistently in this field. Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 13:04, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's redundant if it's the same as birthplace. NFL infoboxes (and probably others) follow that format, but if it must be used for basketball ones then at least use a nowrap parameter to avoid unnecessary linebreaks. — Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:37, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Living People category

Because it always becomes a death date so it’s in a constant spot for an individual, living or dead. If alphabetical it’s the only category that moves when a person “changes status,” the rest stay in a constant place unless renamed. Rikster2 (talk) 16:57, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My apology

I unintentionally reverted your changes to National Football League. Assadzadeh (talk) 21:03, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It happens to me too. — Dissident93 ^(talk) 21:05, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Re: One of your edits in Grok

Good day!

About the line: "In July 2025, Tesla released a software update adding Grok to its vehicles."

This line was previously "In July 2025, Tesla rolled out the 2025.26 software update adding Grok to its vehicles."

I understand changing "rolled out" to 'released' but why remove "2025.26"? It's the actual name of the update and provides context for when 2025.26 appears later in the Access section of the article. I'd like to know your reasoning to avoid going back-and-forth with edits. Inhospitable (talk) 06:16, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia policies favor clarity and accessibility for a general audience. Names of software updates like 2025.26 really only have meaning for Tesla owners. "In July 2025, Tesla released a software update (version 2025.26) adding Grok to its vehicles" gives less weight to it while still being mentioned. — Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:21, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying. That indeed seems a better way to write it. ~ Inhospitable (talk) 09:13, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Template:Infobox film

Please undo your recent change. It put every film article with a "File:" in the infobox image parameter into Category:Articles with missing files, over a thousand in total. None of these are actually broken image links. Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 04:13, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The number of affected articles is still rising. When it hits 2000, I'm going to go ask someone else. Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)}

This is fixed, by the way (next time, Sumanuil, please put in a TPER so the response is faster).

I am greatly concerned by the modification attempt in Special:Diff/1306446384. For a page that is trancluded on 160k pages, you must sandbox stuff like this. Please do not let this sort of thing happen again. Primefac (talk) 09:29, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm aware this particular edit couldn't have been tested in sandbox (including the unintended maintenance category additions) as it was meant to expose infobox images to search previews which use live articles, but it turns out that non-free images can't be used as pageimages anyway. I haven't been online in a few days or I would have caught it myself. — Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:03, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are many ways to test sandboxes, even if they need to be used in live pages to see if they work. For example, if there is no other way, you can replace an infobox template in an article with its sandbox equivalent, using a clear edit summary saying that you are testing the infobox. Once the test is done, revert your test edit. It's not the usual way to test sandboxes, but sometimes it is the only way to make sure it works. If you have reverted and make further changes to the sandbox, you can usually view the old version of the page to see if your new change works as intended. I recommend a low-traffic article for testing like this. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:14, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestions, I figured it was possible to do but everything appeared to be working when I did do a quick test. Pageimage caches needed to be updated, which was out of my control if this were to work, or I would have caught it before others did. — Dissident93 ^(talk) 18:12, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki-humor

Hi there, D93. I'll leave the lower case for 'first and second teams' alone. Hopefully, me adding 'first stints' will not make you lose sleep, lol. Anything I edit is not done in a sneaky way. P.S. Hope you put Mr. Daniels up soon. I will keep a look out for that one! Regards, John. (Bringingthewood)

It's a pet peeve that seemingly only I try to fix. We don't tend to write them like this in prose and MOS:CAPS prefers the use of generic nouns and adjectives if possible. First-team is styled like this if it's the first entry on a line, but that no longer becomes the case when using multiples (2×). As for (first stint), I removed them as (second stint) already implies a prior stint. — Dissident93 ^(talk) 18:22, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, I always knew you had your reasons. Bottom line, I'd rather see an IP in the revision history and not your name .. no guilt. ;) Like I said earlier, never sneaky. Thanks for the reply and here's to seeing a STAR soon on a certain players page!! John. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:28, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Duskbloods publisher

Hi there, so I noticed you reverted all the edits on The Duskbloods page stating that FromSoftware was the publisher and not Nintendo.

Just want to remind you there's actually a post on the game's talk page that discusses the publisher issue (basically, the dedicated pages for the game on both the Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe websites only list FromSoftware as the publisher, which contradicts the game's press release page stating it's a joint-publishing deal between FromSoft and Nintendo), so I thought this might be something worth looking into. TerrapinLoverWikipedia (talk) 16:49, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of a talk page post for it, actually. — Dissident93 ^(talk) 23:47, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Close .. very close.

I think you're close also, D93. Just remember .. if you gotta play at garden parties ... Bringingthewood (talk) 03:46, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
