Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Baffin Island, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Somerset Island. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to John Sheffield, 2nd Baron Sheffield when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.

I'm not sure what you mean by "introduce unknown parameters"? I simply changed the template from officeholder to noble, since only a noble title is shown in the infobox, not an office. Foraddinglinksonly (talk) 03:15, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please preview the change that you made and you will see multiple error warnings about unknown parameters. When you change the infobox type, you must make sure all existing parameters continue to work. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 03:20, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
