Hi DannyS712, there is currently a proposal at Wikibooks:Reading room/Proposals for non-admins to be given the ability of Suppress redirect and Move subpages. Since you’ve been an active user on Wikibooks for the last thirty day, I thought you might join in by giving feedback/opinion or amendments. Thank you so much for your time Synoman Barris (discuss • contribs) 13:06, 14 September 2020 (UTC) Reply

Hi, I noticed you tagged all my early reader phonics books with deletion tags. You may not be familiar with early reader phonics books.

Phonics readers are books intended for children learning how to read that focus on a limited set of sounds. I've written a couple for the digraphs "sh", "oa", and "ee". These are all phase 3 sounds, and include phase 2 sounds and a few phase 2 tricky words as well. See the link from the BBC here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvq9bdm

(I also wrote one for phase 2 sounds: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zf2yf4j)

There are many commercially available book sets that do this, including but not limited to Bob Books, Oxford Owl, Usborne Phonics Readers, Jolly Phonics, etc.

And of course, who can forget Dr. Seuss's "Hop on Pop."

They do tend to sound a bit like nonsense, because you have to work with a rather limited set of sounds, so the child can actually read them.

I would suggest including a note somewhere explaining that, because otherwise it looks like nonsense. Thanks for explaining - I went to go remove the tags, but I see you did that yourself (I thought that wasn't allowed?) --DannyS712 (discuss • contribs) 21:50, 4 February 2021 (UTC) Reply

Not sure! The text of the delete tag here said "Do you think this page should be kept or doesn't fit the criteria? You can remove {{delete}} from this page." It doesn't specify you can't move it if it's your page. Delete tags differ from wiki to wiki so I took it at face value. A lot of times for speedy deletes you can remove it yourself and then the person has to re-tag as non-speedy. Mvolz (discuss • contribs) 22:02, 4 February 2021 (UTC) Reply

@Mvolz: Don't you think the pages should be subpages of a "phonics" Wikijunior book or something? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 21:20, 2 March 2021 (UTC) Reply

@1234qwer1234qwer4: derived it from your script. I installed it as a gadget but it does not seem to work - do you know why? Thanks in advance. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 12:25, 29 June 2021 (UTC) Reply

Also, for clarification: it does work as a user script but not as a gadget. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 12:28, 29 June 2021 (UTC) Reply

@Leaderboard @1234qwer1234qwer4 no idea, and oh god thats some ugly code (on my part) - it predates my understanding of mw.Api(). I'll probably rewrite my Draft_no_cat at some point and then you can update your forks DannyS712 (discuss • contribs) 13:14, 29 June 2021 (UTC) Reply

I've rewritten my fork based on the new version of your script, and it still only seems to work when imported as a user script, not as a gadget. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 11:03, 29 September 2021 (UTC) Reply

I'm using this template to navigate to next/previous pages in the wikibook PostgreSQL. After I removed the link to the sub-page PostgreSQL/Introduction_to_PostgreSQL from the main page, the navigation does not automatically adapt itself to this situation. In the navigation the page still occurs. How can I 'recreate' the list of pages to navigate over? --Kelti (discuss • contribs) 09:54, 13 November 2021 (UTC) Reply

In the meanwhile the problem is solved. --Kelti (discuss • contribs) 18:08, 13 November 2021 (UTC) Reply
