Lewis Hamilton Joins Ferrari

Me being Indecent: When a move is so mental that Next Season's wiki page gets made before this season even starts Wycombefan (talk) 08:20, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I am of the opinion that WP:SIGCOV is still not met for this article. SSSB (talk) 08:22, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Indeed. Seems WP:TOOSOON. The article is bascially nothing but that shocking move. Unnamelessness (talk) 12:18, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Sure, whatever. All I know is that there hasn't been a season for the last half dozen years when I haven't wished there was an article like this for the coming season. It's the best way to track who's under contract for the next season and the rules and schedule changes that are announced during the year and that incredibly useful access to information is continuously sabotaged by rulenazis who most likely doesn't actually care about F1 anyway. But as long as this resource will stay available I'll be happy. Djungelurban (talk) 12:32, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Since you are not actually arguing that WP:SIGCOV is met, this sounds a lot like "I want this article to exist because it is WP:USEFUL. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a database for contracts or a live update service. SSSB (talk) 12:56, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Why is no one requesting or proposing deletion then? Tvx1 08:00, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Reverting

@Island92: If you're going to revert like you did here, you have to give a reason, especially for edits that aren't just obvious vandalism. Why do you think the table shouldn't be allowed to be auto-width? Per Help:Table#Width, Setting widths is discouraged for the most part on Wikipedia because it interferes with the ability of the browser to adjust content to suit the browser window, device size, zoom settings, user-end font size choices, and other constraints.

That is just a copyedit from 2024 season. Island92 (talk) 16:46, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

That explanation does not make any sense. For what must be the thousandth time, something not following convention on other pages is not a reason to continue the issue, especially when it is an arbitrary pixel count that is causing weird gaps in the table columns.

Mercedes power unit

@Island92: Regarding this edit, please review MOS:EGG and MOS:MORELINKWORDS and revert yourself. Mercedes power unit is significantly more clear than Mercedes power unit in setting the reader's expectations to go to Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains rather than Mercedes or one of the other main Mercedes articles. This clearly violates the Manual of Style without any benefit. Cerebral726 (talk) 19:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
