Text and/or other creative content from gas mask was copied or moved into Elastomeric respirator. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.
The chemical cartridge hatnote fails WP:RELATED, as I understand it; I don't think anbody would reach this page expecting to see an article just about chemical cartridges, would they? The existing link at the top of the "Reaction and exchange" section is a better place for that.
Elastomeric respirator is worth disambiguating, as a reader may mistakenly arrive here expecting to read about firefighting masks. But they may not know the technical term "elastomeric respirator", so we should say what we're disambiguating to when we link to it. Belbury (talk) 18:30, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Belbury The problem is that NIOSH and ANSI separate the schedules between "chemical cartridges" (TC-23C) and "Gas masks" (TC-14G), which, incidentally, are called "canisters" instead of "cartridges". There's additional requirements involved in the TC-14G schedule too. That's why hatnotes are necessary.
In that case an explicit This article is about A. For B, see elastomeric respirator. For C, see chemical cartridge. hatnote would be useful to explain those technicalities, to readers who may have been looking for those things without already knowing the industry terms for them. I don't know what the best descriptions for A, B and C would be.
Relatedly, from A, what is the exact scope of this article? I'd added the word "military" to the opening sentence to reflect the statement later in the lead that the word gas mask is often used to refer to military equipment (such as a field protective mask), the scope used in this article, to make that scope clear from the WP:FIRSTSENTENCE. Should the article be clear about that scope and stick to it? The insecticide photo is the only part of the article that seems to go against it. Belbury (talk) 07:53, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Belbury Well, the way I've been doing it is by excerpting common information. For example: N95 respirator > NIOSH air filtration rating > Respirator. More trivial information, like history, stays unexcerpted.
Following this, Gas mask's scope should be enlarged with excerpts, since we can't predict where readers will end up, and readers are unlikely to click links. So Elastomeric respirator > Gas mask.
However, I think color-coding should be avoided, due to contradictory info. That info should probably go behind a link (Chemical cartridge) to select for discerning readers. ——Randomstapler's alt08:31, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
