Disambiguation link notification for May 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Matt Szczur, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Grand slam. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

- To be completely honest, every time I’ve tried to put in the new coding (which I have no opposition to doing) it won’t fit in the signature markup box. It cuts off at the end of the last </span> tag. –RedSoxFan274 (talk~contribs) 20:54, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry. I should have verified that my proposed string was within the 255 character limit. Try this:
'''[[User:RedSoxFan274|<span style="color:#c60c30">Red</span><span style="color:navy">Sox</span><i style="color:teal">Fan274</i>]] <sub>[[User talk:RedSoxFan274|(talk]][[Special:Contribs/RedSoxFan274|<span style="color:teal">~contribs)</span>]]</sub>''': RedSoxFan274 (talk~contribs)- —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:01, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, that fits now! It’s been changed. Sorry I didn’t get around to it earlier. Thanks. :) –RedSoxFan274 (talk~contribs) 21:07, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
