Kamen Rider actor interwiki links

Hi, In your edit summary you said "shouldn't be those links". Could you please clarify what you meant? Is the use of interwiki links in infoboxes discouraged for some reason? Or was it that the wrong ja.wiki articles were linked? Thanks, —Msmarmalade (talk) 01:06, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

WP:MOS-JA says not to use interwiki links for articles on ja.wp but not on en.wp because if we're linking them then they have to be notable in the first place to have an en.wp article on them at some point.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 01:19, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

WP:MOS-JA also says "interwiki linking may be used to supplement red links." and WP:REDNOT says "Red links to personal names should be avoided". But it also says "if the subject of the link is unlikely to have an English article ever created, this can be written Les Blondes."

I don't necessarily agree that the two actors you removed the interwiki links from are non-notable, but if you do plan to remove interwiki links then could you please change them to this formatting: ... ]^(fr) ... rather than a redlink? Thanks,—Msmarmalade (talk) 02:11, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

WP:REDLINK favors no article locally than pointing our readers to the Japanese Misplaced Pages.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 02:27, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't understand. Could you please explain? Maybe quote the part of WP:REDLINK you are referring to? Thanks, —Msmarmalade (talk) 11:10, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

The two actors are obviously notable if they were in Kamen Rider so we should instead be encouraging people to write English language biographies on them instead of just linking to the Japanese language Misplaced Pages page on them. This is not such a difficult concept to wrap your head around. Do not link to other language projects in the main article text just because we don't have a local article on the subject because if that is the case then we should fucking have a local article instead.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 19:10, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

I see that you have done this on every god damn Kamen rider article on the project. Here's the thing. If these people are all actors in these TV shows then they are notable for coverage on the English Misplaced Pages and we should have red links leading to empty pages where someone some day will write an English language biography for them rather than you completely disregarding the manual of style for your own interpretation of guidelines and policies that instead unnecessarily provides links to these people's pages on the Japanese Misplaced Pages. Do not use this esoteric linking format again and if you care so god damn much make biographies.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 19:19, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
