RM for Officer South and Blind Bight

Hello Numbermaniac. Not sure if you are aware, but there is an RfC running at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board# RfC: The convention for naming Australian place articles. Because of this, I have asked the non-admin closers of your two move requests at [(Talk:Officer South]] and Talk:Blind Bight are reopened. Given this has been a fairly long running issue, and is quite contentious, if you have a strong view please participate in the RfC! Until that is resolved, I would discourage you from raising any more RMs until consensus is clear. Thanks! Dfadden (talk) 22:26, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I will have a look at that discussion. – numbermaniac 08:20, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Relisting at CfD

Hello! It's generally a bad idea to relist three times at CfD (as you did at Special:Diff/1306957747), particularly if no discussion has happened since the last relist. In any case, thanks for taking the time to help out at CfD! Qwerfjkltalk 14:30, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Cheers, I will take that into account in the future. Thanks for letting me know! – numbermaniac 16:47, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

Yallourn a suburb?

What's it a suburb of? HiLo48 (talk) 23:16, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

@HiLo48: I assume you're talking about the infobox - I wanted to mark it as a locality, but it turns out the template doesn't have an option for that. I noticed Flynn, Victoria, which is also a locality, was marked as "suburb" in its infobox, so I thought maybe that's the right way to do it. I wasn't sure about "town" because of the low population and the lack of a town centre. Which do you think would be better for Yallourn - town or other? – numbermaniac 05:53, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
None of those is accurate. Can it be left blank? HiLo48 (talk) 06:09, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
It's a required parameter, but it looks like if I set it to "other", it disappears. I've done that now. – numbermaniac 06:37, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Thanks. HiLo48 (talk) 06:38, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
