"The piping of links was fine as-is" - Why so? And you didn't have to revert all of my edits. Mvcg66b3r ( talk) 16:55, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

It is best to have the links be exact for each article. If there was an MOS violation with having piped links, then fine, but this kinda comes off as a widespread kneejerk overreaction to a problem that never existed. Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 16:58, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Also note that I only undid a few edits, not all of them. If there is a problem with piped links, maybe it is a good idea to bring this up for a discussion in WP:TVS and see if a consensus can be reached. If there is a consensus, then I'll respect that.

User:BlueboyLINY started doing it (I think he made the script). Mvcg66b3r ( talk) 17:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Gotcha. I'm fine with the cat sorting and absolutely am fine with using the date script (and restored those in those reversions I made). The unpiping script honestly merits a discussion and consensus. Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 17:16, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The script was created by User:Nardog. Please read WP:NOPIPE and MOS:NOPIPE, before beginning an unnecessary discussion. This is an effort to improve all of Wikipedia, not just WP:TVS. - BlueboyLINY ( talk) 17:38, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I will be very honest, I had absolutely no idea WP:NOPIPE was even a thing or that it had been in place on the platform for well over a decade. Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 18:03, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

@ BlueboyLINY@ Mvcg66b3r allow me to redo that script running on the pages affected. I want to install that script and run it on pages as well. Cheers! Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 18:12, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

While you're at it, get @ Sammi Brie: to install it as well. Mvcg66b3r ( talk) 18:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Mvcg66b3r A quick note. On radio stations especially, be careful that it does not generate redirects on call signs where redirects should be bypassed, e.g. turning WKAF into WKAF. If another WKAF turns up, that link is good as rotted. Sammi Brie (she/her •  t • c) 17:58, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Also pinging @ BlueboyLINY and Wcquidditch: on this as a courtesy. Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 19:08, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply

It's 7pm in Kansas City, MO and congrats for the work on WWJ-TV Detroit. It's interesting to think about the fact the station—the first black owned Rad- Television Station in the US (It is NOT KPRS 103.3fm, it started from WGPR 107.5)—is now a O&O station of CBS with a news operation that after multiple attempts, finally got a grip in 2022. Congratulations on the work you did on Detroit 62. Mer764Wiki ( talk) 01:20, 15 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Thank you and your colleague today for WWJ-TV, introduced: "Ask either of us about the most culturally significant TV station we've written and this will be our unequivocal answer. Channel 62 in Detroit started life in September 1975, after a years-long struggle to secure financing, as WGPR-TV, the first Black-owned TV station in the United States. Owned by a Black Masonic group, it was a high-visibility station at its launch with very ambitious programming plans, key portions of which never materialized. However, some of its local shows stuck, and it produced a string of notable local and national Black broadcast professionals. In 1994, a major TV station affiliation switch swept the nation and left CBS looking for a new affiliate in Detroit. CBS failed to secure a better station, and the desperate network bought WGPR-TV from the International Free and Accepted Modern Masons, in the process removing the Black- and community-oriented programming channel 62 had long carried (and raising some community outcry). Today, the former WGPR studios are on the National Register of Historic Places, and in the old TV studio is a museum devoted to its history. CBS renamed the station WWJ-TV, for the radio station it owned there. For many years, it never thoroughly invested in this high-number station. It floated but quickly abandoned an attempt to start a news department in 1995; upon merging with WKBD-TV, that station's ailing news department briefly extended to channel 62 before dying; and there was a morning weather-and-news program for a few years. That changed in a big way in February, when a full online streaming service and news department known as CBS News Detroit debuted. This is a big dog of a project, and it's one that we have found quite fulfilling. It is also Nathan's first time at FAC."

Okay, thanks. I actually just realized this when I was going to say something more harsh because he didn't recognize the fact I CONGRATULATED HIM FOR THE WWJ Television ARTICLE. Like he's focused on something else, but I just font want to focus on that. I'ma add the Studio 31 case in my userpage. Thank You and happy MLK Jr. Day!

@ Gerda Arendt Thank you for the kind words. As Sammi and I have said multiple times, this has been a very fulfilling project and one that goes far beyond the topic field. Cheers! Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 02:31, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply
