Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bars-class submarine (1915), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Panther, Lioness and Nikolayev (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Disambiguation

I had a shufti at your talk page and noticed that you get a lot of disambig notices, despite being a grizzled Wikiveteran. Do you have Display links to disambiguation pages in orange selected in Preferences —> Appearance? Just curious. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 23:33, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello Keith: No, I didn't know about that one (or any of the Preference options; I think I looked at it first time round, set up my e-mail, and promptly forgot about it) We learn something new every day! I'll give it a try; Thanks! Xyl 54 (talk) 23:25, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
