You shouldn't expect me to update 24/7  🐱💬 02:56, 27 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
I know you have other busy commitments, but I don't know how to edit the storm path map, while you're the one who edited the storm path map. H-FinaL-FantasY-H - Talk 04:31, 27 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
No need to worry about that as I always update every day.  🐱💬 05:19, 27 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

This was the PAGASA TD that was designated a couple days ago. OreoStar-fait (talk) 17:07, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

I wonder if this should be included as it is designated by PAGASA only when it was out of PAR. There was never such case before.  🐱💬 14:07, 17 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
I was curious too, but no one else seemed to oppose it so I just went with it OreoStar-fait (talk) 14:34, 17 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
As this could unleash a dangerous case... We have to consider other agencies as well. I have to think about that very seriously.  🐱💬 11:33, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
It's kind of ambiguous what to do here.. I mean I included it in
but.. OreoStar-fait (talk) 03:16, 19 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
I don't want to be unfair with CMA, CWA, HKO, KMA, etc... Also you shouldn't ruin my page with those full-size images.  🐱💬 14:04, 22 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
I just decided to remove the unnamed PAGASA TD from timelines/season totals. Upon reconsideration I don't think it's necessary to include there, I'll remove it from my worldwide map tonight. OreoStar-fait (talk) 17:52, 22 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hyphen vs en-dash

[edit]

Hi. So en-dashes seem to be used for most storms that get 2 names, such as Irene–Olivia, Leon–Eline and Wasa–Arthur. Tropical Storm Maysak 2008 has Quinta-Siony, but that's the only one I could find with a hyphen instead.

Meanwhile, hyphens seem to be used for the names in the west Pacific and north Indian that are like two names in one, like Yun-yeung, Son-Tinh, and Chan-hom, as well as Khai-muk in the north Indian ocean and the upcoming Al-jarz.

I thought that the consensus from this could be added to Draft:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Tropical weather, to not confuse anyone in the future. Nibnab43637 (talk) 14:14, 4 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

I don't know why it's been chosen since it may cause some difficulties about typing. If en-dash is okay then it's fine but there should be a guideline about that.  🐱💬 15:14, 4 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
You can type en-dashes by typing "{{endash}}". Wikipedia is for the readers, not the editors, so I think it being hard to type some characters is not that important. Nibnab43637 (talk) 21:36, 4 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
Not a problem for me due to using Apple devices. It's just a problem for others who want to type in accurately on some other platform.  🐱💬 01:47, 5 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
A bit late but just chiming in that Wikipedia on desktop in the browser has a character menu that is very useful for typing special characters left out on qwerty keyboards. There are also a few templates one can use like  , {{em dash}}, et cetera if for some reason one cannot use the character menu. ✶Quxyz✶ (talk) 14:48, 8 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
Oops, ignore that last part. I didn't see that Nibnab already brought it up. ✶Quxyz✶ (talk) 14:49, 8 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
