Hello, a person mentioned there a number of instances of |[[professional baseball]] [[baseball player|player]][5] . I was wondering if you know how to fix this with a bot and if you could, I am not an expert in anything automated, I just do grammar stuff. Wamalotpark (talk) 03:59, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While also removing the link over "player" by the way. Wamalotpark (talk) 04:00, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I noticed that discussion at the baseball project and have been waiting to see other responses. While I tend to agree that unlinking player is a good idea, I want to see some more input before I do anything. I am currently using WP:AWB to work on changing [[professional baseball]] to professional [[baseball]] in player bio leads. It will be a few more days before I'm finished with that project, and then I should be able to take a closer look at your request. LEPRICAVARK (talk) 04:04, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see, I don't think there was any mention of "player" besides the one user pointing it out. It seems like a super small subset of the players, so I didn't think discussion on it was warranted and I'm pretty sure no one would object, but I understand. Thanks for your help.

No problem. I agree that major discussion is unnecessary, but it's best to be sure before making the edits. LEPRICAVARK (talk) 04:13, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also I'm sure you've got it covered but I was thinking about managers and other staff, and lists of things like List of New York Yankees seasons should be changed to just baseball too. Wamalotpark (talk) 04:15, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, we only have consensus for a change on player bios (presumably managers would be covered by that as well). I see you've made the change at the linked Yankees seasons list. I agree with your decision, and now we'll see if anyone challenges it. LEPRICAVARK (talk) 04:20, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
