Talk:Stanley McChrystal

Five in one blow
Wow, this caught five w that would have otherwise pointed to Wikipedia. Not often creating a redirect is so successful. --SVTCobra 19:13, 15 August 2019 (UTC)


 * :-D  A sign of increasing conversion to w.  We're always open to converting anything in our archives, but eventually we want to have converted everything, so I'm also systematically working backward through time from when we deployed w at the end of January 2011.  Every article we've published since May 31, 2010 has been converted; that's four out of the five caught.  Happens we'd converted one of the other seven in this category. --Pi zero (talk) 19:29, 15 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, yes, but it doesn't work unless the appropriate redirects are also in place. If you look at Special:Pages that link to "Category:Stanley A. McChrystal" you can see that no local page actually linked to the category because of the middle initial. Cheers, --SVTCobra 20:06, 15 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Also true. As it happens, though, ten out of eleven articles in the category wikilink to him without the middle initial.  The one other didn't link his name at all, but ironically did use the middle initial.  I've just converted that one. --Pi zero (talk) 20:35, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
