→Deleting short articles
Personally, I don't see any harm in short stubs: CP could work at least as a kind of dictionary. But I suppose it is a matter of taste.

Just a request: could you check "what links here" before deleting a page? Thanks! --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 09:24, August 11, 2021 (EDT)

:Yah, that's what I've been doing, but a few might have slipped past. The problem right now is, much of these pages someone studiously compiled in [[Category:Dictionary]] are all orphans. And no one has bothered to de-orphan in 10 years. This is an object lesson for all editors: when you create a page, make sure you integrate the page into the whole wiki with a reverse link from at least one other page. Otherwise, it might eventually get deleted. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Free Kyle!]]</sup> 09:42, August 11, 2021 (EDT)
