I'm not convinced by this.

Why should it go at the end? It's formatted exactly the same as other hatnotes (e.g. {{tl|otheruses}}), not the {{tl|disambig}} footnote, and if it's at the bottom, it just gets forgotten. The whole point is to encourage readers to expand it. I've been putting it at the top on my pages for these reasons.

I can't see any guidance on this in the style guide. It's dodgy to argue from silence, but I've been doing this for a while, and no-one else has taken exception; I am however open to be convinced by a good argument.

If it ''should'' go at the bottom, it needs reformatting, in my opinion.

Regarding What to genocide

The article you found is obvious BS, but I think a somewhat useful redirect could go here. Thank you for your report.--Ray Chason 03:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Re the polearm redirects

Just FYI, the polearm redirect pages were done before wikia supported redirecting to an id in the middle of a page, that's why they were lacking it, it was no user idiocy :) --Paxed 07:12, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

stub tag usually goes at the end :)

I'm not convinced by this.

Why should it go at the end? It's formatted exactly the same as other hatnotes (e.g. {{otheruses}}), not the {{disambig}} footnote, and if it's at the bottom, it just gets forgotten. The whole point is to encourage readers to expand it. I've been putting it at the top on my pages for these reasons.

I can't see any guidance on this in the style guide. It's dodgy to argue from silence, but I've been doing this for a while, and no-one else has taken exception; I am however open to be convinced by a good argument.

If it should go at the bottom, it needs reformatting, in my opinion.
