Talk:Tropical Storm Prapiroon (2024)


Should the year be included in the short description

edit

I recently removed the year from the short description because the title already includes the year. This would prevent unnecessary repetition and make the short description more concise. However, @IrishSurfer21 keeps reverting the edits, as other tropical cyclone articles follow the practice of including the year in both the title and the short description. What are your thoughts on this? ZZZ'S 02:06, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Most tropical cyclones do have the year in the short description, even though they have the year in the name, an example being Tropical Storm Lester (2022), which says the month and the year. I think IrishSurfer21 was correct in reverting your edits, but if you did end up removing the year from the short description, it would be justifiable. However, I would leave the year in the description Shmego (talk) 16:16, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I believe it should also apply to Tropical Storm Lester (2022) and the other articles with the year in the title with the same justification. I don't see any other opposing arguments other than that most articles under a similar title have it. I'm willing to take it to the project talk page if necessary.

That's not a horrible idea, if you really want to debate this you could definetly take it to the talk page. At the moment though, i would keep the year in the description Shmego (talk) 16:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
