[edit] The star link thing
I'm trying to bring this to the talk page as the edit warring and posting replies to messages in edit summaries really doesn't help. Why should it not be there? —JD[don't talk|email] 15:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Because:
- The link is meant to make the page shoot down so as the bit the link links to is at the top. At the moment, the link goes to having the last line of Aphrodite's bio at the top.
- It is plainly obvious that the note will be just beneath it, it's not like the text is in smallprint!
- If the * said "See note 1" it would be different. "Note 1" could refer to anything as it's at the bottom of the page. If there's a star next to Wesley's name, put a star next to the note rather than "Note 1". It's not like there's multiple notes...

- There's no need to remove the link; having it there harms nobody. The positioning of the note in comparison to the rest of the article doesn't mean clicking the star makes the page not move at all. People that use popups can read the note by hovering over it. Having a star next to the note doesn't make it that easy to understand. —JD[don't talk|email] 15:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry to sound rude, but I didn't understand much of that at all. "...doesn't mean clicking the star makes the page not move at all..."?godgoddingham333 15:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- If you click the star, the page will still move down to where the note is; sometimes that's what people need to realise that what's there is what they're meant to be reading. —JD[don't talk|email] 15:35, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, but because the star is so close to the end, the page only moves down a centimetre or two. Also, when you mentioned popups, 90% of people who use Wikipedia (i.e. non-editors or people without accounts) don't use popups. godgoddingham333 15:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- This isn't about the percentage that don't. This isn't about the percentage that do, either. It's about the fact that it doens't need to be removed, and having it there makes more sense than removing it for no reason - if the page doesn't move when it's clicked, good for it, I say. Not everybody uses massive television-sized computer monitors. —JD[don't talk|email] 15:42, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Nor do I, I'm participating on a Apple Powerbook G4 (a laptop with one of the smallest displays - 12"). If you're adamant on it being a star next to Wesley's name, then make the note have a star rather than "Note 1:" It makes it sound like there's more than one note and anyway, it could have come from anywhere on the page... godgoddingham333 15:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- I was planning on putting more notes on for the other twist. —JD[don't talk|email] 15:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
