Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

If you are not able to fix wikilinks that need disambiguating, I really think that it would be better to leave them in place for someone else to fix rather than removing them altogether as you did here. Thanks SpinningSpark 16:48, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Spinningspark  Reviewing request. Please review related links in my contribution. That happened due to an instruction from the DPL bot and performance of the Dab solver. thanks.

You are responsible for the edits you make, not DPL bot or Dab solver. If the tools are telling you to do something stupid, then don't do it and use a more appropriate tool. You don't take instructions from bots. They might give you advice, but you need to decide what to do yourself. It's not as if the disambiguation could not be resolved. I fixed the dabs manually easily enough in the following edit. What is it you are asking me to review? The rest of your edit history? If you have made similar edits, then go fix them yourself.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Art of Yugoslavia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Yugoslav literature. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Did you know?

Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device?

Tap on the pencil icon to start editing. The page will probably open in the wikitext editor.

You will see another pencil icon in the toolbar. Tap on that pencil icon to the switch between visual editing and wikitext editing.

Remember to publish your changes when you're done.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has wrapped up most of their work on the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual diff tool. The team has begun investigating the needs of editors who use mobile devices. Their work board is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are fixing bugs and improving mobile editing.

• The Editing team has published an initial report about mobile editing.
• The Editing team has begun a design study of visual editing on the mobile website. New editors have trouble doing basic tasks on a smartphone, such as adding links to Wikipedia articles. You can read the report.
• The Reading team is working on a separate mobile-based contributions project.
• The 2006 wikitext editor is no longer supported. If you used that toolbar, then you will no longer see any toolbar. You may choose another editing tool in your editing preferences, local gadgets, or beta features.
• The Editing team described the history and status of VisualEditor in this recorded public presentation (starting at 29 minutes, 30 seconds).
• The Language team released a new version of Content Translation (CX2) last month, on International Translation Day. It integrates the visual editor to support templates, tables, and images. It also produces better wikitext when the translated article is published. [9]

• The Editing team wants to improve visual editing on the mobile website. Please read their ideas and tell the team what you think would help editors who use the mobile site.
• The Community Wishlist Survey begins next week.
• If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Thank you!
