| − | [[User:Excellentdude|excellentdude]] and I are a little unhappy that our lovingly handcrafted neighbor links for Michigan and Wisconsin were automagically replaced. Automatic generation of grat pages is a wonderful thing, but for pages that are being actively maintained by humans, the humans should perhaps be deferred to. As another example, the neighbor link on the Tōkyō page to the Mount Fuji grat used to read "Fuji-san". This was a deliberate decision to use a perhaps less formal (and more Japanese) name in the neighbor link, not an error.

| − | It would be nice if the bot could distinguish between these kinds of cases and the ones where the link name is just wrong, but I realize that this is a hard problem. --[[User:Starbird|starbird]] 20:54, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

| − | :I see your point. Still, why not give the graticules the same name everywhere? I.e. - change the name of the Mount Fuji graticule to Fuji-san (on the [[All Graticules]] page, and have it called like this by all its neighbours. I haven't had a look at Michigan and Wisconsin yet. -- [[User:relet|relet]] 22:11, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

| − | ::The MI and WI changes were precisely the difference between [[User:ReletBot/Graticule format#Option 3|option 3]] and [[User talk:ReletBot/Graticule format|option 4]] (i.e., two-letter state names). If the rest of the world decides that option 4 is better, then there's no problem. But this is surely a matter of taste. I guess what I'm saying is that the format (and even the content) of neighbor links doesn't need to be standard everywhere. It's not like the a category name or and achievement name, where universal consensus is necessary. --[[User:Starbird|starbird]] 05:12, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
