Might be a useful image?
[edit]File:The Re-Formation of Israel, Christian Identity map, recto.jpg File:The Re-Formation of Israel, Christian Identity map, verso.jpg Found this while trying (and failing) to find more information on SJ Capt, and discovered that due to America's arcane pre-1989 copyright laws, this is free. It's one of the few free CI-specific images I've been able to find, so it might be useful to visualize something about CI since we are lacking images there. Or not.

MOS:REPEATLINK and the Unlinked Value Paradox
[edit]Hello Butlerblog, I noticed you recently linked the network parameters for One Piece (1999 TV series) and Fairy Tail (TV series) because of an unlinked value category tag. However, this seemingly creates a paradox, as MOS:REPEATLINK advises you should link the first mention of a value in a section. I assume this would also apply to templates as well, correct? If that is the case, then shouldn't it be left unlinked at the network parameter, since the networks are already credited as one of the production companies right above it in the same template, per the MOS?

- Yes, it is a conundrum. I tend to err on the side of REPEATLINK being a reference to body sections and there are noted exceptions, such as lists (thus extrapolating that to infoboxes). Also, infoboxes are used by wikidata. While I am not sure that wikidata uses the links or not, that is part of why I err on this side of the paradox and not the more strict reading of REPEATLINK.
- We have a maintenance category to list these instances for cleanup/correction. I have a bot task that addresses the maintenance category, but this one was done manually. ButlerBlog (talk) 12:57, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
