PrimeHunter

Do we really link something like Notes: User:PrimeHunter (Talk) provided the code. Ask him for help. on a help page? I have never seen something like that before. I regret reverting you, Timeshifter: I thought that you had added the information for the first time, not reinstating something that had been longstanding.

Why not? It is a help page. Linking to experts is some of the best possible help. Table help is some of the most complex help there is on Wikipedia. So I am not surprised you have not seen it before on other help pages. That link to PrimeHunter has been there for years. And just because you haven't seen something before is no reason to delete it. Not if you don't have a guideline to back it up. --Timeshifter (talk) 19:11, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem I see with the note is there are more appropriate places to ask for help (e.g. WP:VPT). House Blaster (talk · he/him) 03:31, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
