Introductory sentence for Michelin-starred list pages
Most list pages on Wikipedia follow a consistent format but I'm not aware of any guideline that officially outlines an introductory sentence specifically for list pages.
I would propose that all list articles begin with, "This article contains a[n] [in]complete list of Michelin-starred restaurants in XXX, with XXX representing the region being discussed by the list article. This would properly reference the article title and link to the Michelin Guide and the region being discussed. Expandinglight5 (talk) 03:03, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- I went ahead and added the above to the style guide. Feel free to edit or discuss if you feel otherwise. Expandinglight5 (talk) 03:33, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Blank cells vs. N/A template
In lists of Michelin-starred restaurants, should we leave cells empty or use Template:N/a to show when stars were not awarded? Whatever we decide, I recommend we seek consistency. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:01, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Are there other lists that have FL status that we can reference? My inclination is to simply leave blank. I would agree that it should be consistent and what's agreed should go in the style guide. Expandinglight5 (talk) 20:30, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've looked a bit further into this. The Ireland list is a good example of N/A vs. Blank cells. Both on a tablet and on a desktop, the table looks better with the N/A than a blank cell. Compare that with another region such as NYC. I would propose we use the N/A. Expandinglight5 (talk) 16:59, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Consistent Section Name for List pages
This should be part of the style guide once we create one but what should the Section name be titled? There are multiple versions on various Michelin-starred list pages. The following are in use: List, Year range (i.e. 2019-2024), Year range list, (i.e. 2019-2024 list), Alphabetical list, Michelin Star List, Restaurant list, List of restaurants, Alphabetic list.
Some pages do have multiple sections so in some instances there are multiple tables with year ranges. Thoughts on the labeling and syntax?

First year on list highlighting
Some Michelin-starred lists such as Florida and NYC have highlighting of restaurants in their first year on the Michelin-starred list. What is everyone's opinion? Its practice is fairly inconsistent among the list pages and seems a bit redundant. Perhaps this is related to accessability? Expandinglight5 (talk) 05:19, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Personally I feel it should be removed. As you said, the 'first year' highlight is redundant since that can be surmised from the chart itself. Open to thoughts feeling otherwise, though. Dtmich24 (talk) 14:42, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Unless there's an accessibility purpose I'm not considering, this seems unnecessary to me. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:44, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
See also sections
A lot of lists of Michelin-starred restaurants (example) have lengthy See also sections. Should we include links that also appear in Template:Lists of restaurants and Template:Michelin Corporation at the bottom of the page? ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:38, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. I'm not seeing in possibly relevant guidelines (MOS:REPEATLINK and MOS:NOTSEEALSO) that such links are explicitly prohibited. On the other hand, I think you could make arguments along the spirit of both of those guidelines that if a See also section is too long, those kinds of repeated links should be the first to go. seefooddiet (talk) 19:32, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm also conflicted. Simply listing every list link doesn't make sense but you could argue to list other related lists in the same country/region such as Vancouver suggesting other Canadian pages like Toronto. However, the US has many regions and perhaps that is too lengthy (and this will likely get longer as Michelin expands into more markets)? I'm inclined to remove except for perhaps 3-star listing pages where relevant as I'm not sure it's intuitive to expect to find that in the Michelin/restaurant template. List of Michelin-starred restaurants in New York City and List of Michelin-starred restaurants in Las Vegas seem to make the most sense. Thoughts?
