Talk:() of () (Sensing block)

Scimonster...

The reason I want to delete that sentence is because it's mentioned twice: above and below the links.

Link to Operators

MF reverted my edit. I don't understand why we can't link to the Operators one from anywhere on this page...?

Why do we have to? I explained clearly that the Operators one has redirect priority and a link here. Haven't you ever heard of a back button...?

I understand the other one has a link here; I ended up on this one, and wanted to get to the other one. I don't understand why we can't have a link in that direction.

It's redundant. And how did you end up on this one?
Mathfreak231 (talk | contribs) 14:50, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Why is it redundant? There's no link from here to there!
blob8108 (talk | contribs) 23:06, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

But there's a link from there to here, and as I've explained quite clearly, that one gets redirect priority. It's very rare that someone would click on the "sensing" or whatever in the search bar when they're actually looking for the operators.

I understand that the other article gets redirect priority; that's not the problem. Why can't I add a link from here to there? There should at least be a link in a "See Also" section.

We don't accept wiki accounts that use the phrase "Why can't I?". You should explain why we actually should add said link.

Although we don't necessarily have to, I think it would be useful just to at least facilitate getting around the wiki easier. It's more user-friendly to give people the option of clicking a link to another page rather than pressing the back button, plus it allows for users that didn't come from the other () of () block page to see that if they didn't know about it. Say there's a link on another page that leads to this page and the user sees this and is interested to find out what those other few functions they didn't recognise were, but the user clicked on it not knowing there were two versions of the block. They would be taken here and offered no easy way to the other page.

Plus the same thing is done for Length of () (List block), although those have a similar function for different datatypes so I'm not sure that that really counts.

I kinda see your point. At least you gave a reason in the first place.

But I don't understand your example; if the link took them here, wouldn't the context have been relevant enough that they would have expected to get sent here?
Mathfreak231 (talk | contribs) 18:59, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps, perhaps not. But having a link does no harm at all, and has the potential to do good. If so, then why not have it?

Well, I suppose.
