List format?
[edit]@Transhumanist: I reverted the recent expansion of the table, pending a discussion here.
I don't think "has a list format" is a well-defined Wikipedia concept. The guideline for list formats appears to be neither prescriptive or exhaustive. As far as I can tell, a list article is any article that is about a list of items or concepts. Dodge Charger is still categorized as a list article (on Talk:Dodge Charger). If we'd like to add the notion of "has a list format" to WP:SIA, I think we would need to define it first at WP:SAL (and it's not clear that such a definition is helpful to the encyclopedia). — hike395 (talk) 05:41, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- I tend to agree. Also the guidance currently says
Dodge Charger is not a set index article, as it is not a list
; however, the Dodge Charger article is in fact tagged as {{Set index article}}. I've gone ahead and removed that inaccurate example. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 02:36, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
"a SIA" or "an SIA"
[edit]Question on a minor point --- how do editors pronounce "SIA"? Is it "ess eye ay"? or "see-ya" ? It makes a difference the choice of "a SIA" or "an SIA" depends on it. I personally pronounce it "see-ya", hence prefer "a SIA". But I may be in the minority.
Just checking at a low temperature: I'm hoping this doesn't lead to big argument about "correctness". — hike395 (talk) 21:14, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- I've never said it out loud, but in my head it's "see-ya". Plantdrew (talk) 21:44, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

- Same as the airline. CMD (talk) 09:06, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
- Singapore Airlines? Have no idea how to pronounce that initialism/acronym, either. — hike395 (talk) 14:17, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Broken category links
[edit]This edit broke all the category links because the colons were removed from them: [[:Category:X]] -> [[Category:X]]. As a result, many lines are displayed incorrectly, like this:
- {{Sport index}} for sport names –
Instead of this:
- {{Sport index}} for sport names – Category:Set index articles on sports
