There is no need for every link in the article to be in bold face.
MOS:BOLD describes the cases where bold face should be used. None of them apply here. It has no obvious significance and it looks horrendously ugly. So, I removed it all.

What would be your reasoning for that? Is it because this article is getting unfeasibly long these days? There might be an argument for separating by decade, that would at least break it into about ten separate subarticles.

List of accidents and incidents on commerical airliners grouped by year listed at
Redirects for discussion
It's not obvious to all users that the page
Wikipedia:List of accidents and incidents on commercial aircraft/Guideline for inclusion criteria and format exists. There is a link to this page above the edit box when editing with a conventional computer, but mobile edits don't see this notice. The MOS suggests adding direct statements about list criteria in the lede (
WP:SALLEAD), and so I have proposed changing the lede to This list of accidents and incidents involving commercial aircraft includes relevant events that have a corresponding Wikipedia article, and conform to the
inclusion criteria. The list is grouped by the year in which the accident or incident occurred.. But now I seem to be finding myself in an
edit war. I think a summary of the inclusion criteria in the lede would reduce ineligible entries, and help to communicate that this list is not all-inclusive of every aviation mishap.

Thanks for your thoughts, BillHPike. Do you know of a better way for an editor on a mobile device (cell phone, tablet) to know this page's inclusion criteria? These editors never see an edit box or the notice above this article's edit box.

Thanks for the reply, WilliamJE, but I disagree. What I'm doing is supported by
WP:SALLEAD and
MOS:BOLDAVOID. Adding inclusion criteria to the lede is very common on many Wikipedia lists. Including this information will communicate to readers that this list isn't alll- inclusive of every aviation mishap. And it will likely reduce the number of ineligible entries submitted - especially by users of mobile devices, who cannot see the notice above the edit box.

RfC inclusion criteria
There is a clear consensus that the inclusion criteria should be defined in the article's lead and that it should not be dependent on projectspace for context.
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
This list has its inclusion criteria in a separate
project page. For editors using conventional computers, a notice appears above the edit box with a link to the project page. But for mobile editors, there is no edit box, so they never see this notice.
How should the inclusion criteria be referenced in a way that is accessable to all readers, and editors who are using mobile devices?

Could comments not be used at the top of each year (so users editing a section see them) using <!-- -->, or placed where a commonly misinserted item would be inserted, with something like - <!-- Please don't incert incident A - see WP:ADL --> ~~ OxonAlex- talk06:58, 29 August 2019 (UTC)reply
The criteria are more than just having a WP article. Aircraft size and that it is a commercial flight are also criteria. Notable people sections (of town or city articles) have <!-- --> at the top but editors routinely ignore them, don't read it etc.

Summoned by bot. Yes, the inclusion criteria should definitely be explained in the lead. No article should be dependent on projectspace for context. No problem with the stylistic instructions there, or for an edit notice to emphasize certain practical elements (e.g. it has an article), but the context to understand what's in the article should be in the article. It's not like there's a big lead here already. If it takes a couple paragraphs to explain (preferably with an explanation of why), that seems ok to me. — Rhododendritestalk \\

Thanks everybody for the feedback. I have (for the fifth time) added the inclusion criteria to the lede. I think we have consensus from this discussion and from
WP:SALLEAD that the inclusion criteria should indeed be in the lead.

The rules in this list is mismatched with the Portuguese list
If you have a look of the Portuguese list, you will notice that the rules are different and this can cause confusion, I think this is terrible for Wikipedia since the lists are translation but conceptually different and if so, must be renamed. Please have a look:
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_acidentes_aéreos
...William Could you please have a look? I don't think it makes sense.
The rules here are quite clear. A aircraft must be able to seat 10 to be included on this list. You know something? The criteria, which have been in place over a decade, weren't even drawn up by me. Save your time for something else.

Portuguese Wikipedia and English Wikipedia operate independtly from each other. There is zero need for the Portuguese and English lists to have the same criteria.

While the requirement for modern accidents to have their own standalone article makes sense due to the media intense environment that surrounded those incidents, this doesn't make any sense whatsoever for accidents prior to WW2, where the amount of detail, both for the aircraft itself (to justify splitting the page), and the media coverage available is significantly less, and isn't in the least way indicative of the significance of the accident. That has given this page an enormous bias toward modern accidents, belying the reality that 95% of all the significant accidents are missing, being deliberately excluded from here, but only because they fail to meet an incredibly pointless and artificial threshold. Perhaps for older aircraft it should be possible to link to a section of a page devoted to said accident? Alternatively, we split this page at 1945, and have less onerous criteria for incidents prior to then. Indeed, looking through most of the earlier accidents - most of those pages are barely even stubs, and should never have been made into separate articles, especially given the small size of almost all of the parent pages.

What changes to the inclusion criteria do you propose? More specifically, you write that ...the media coverage available [for these accidents] is significantly less, and isn't in the least way indicative of the significance of the accident.. In the absence of media coverage, how do you propose to gauge the significance of such an accident? (For what it's worth, media coverage often exists, it's just harder to find on the Internet without access to academic databases.) Lastly, perhaps
Wikipedia talk:List of accidents and incidents on commercial aircraft/Guideline for inclusion criteria and format would be a better forum for discussion of this topic. Cheers.

Trust that the discussion isn't even on the page it applies to - thank you for the link.
Your unnecessarily condescending reply that completely ignored what I wrote suggests a lack of reading comprehension. I already made suggestions as to what to do, above, and I also did NOT say there was no media coverage, or that there wasn't enough to determine significance, or that I had difficulty in finding it, but rather that there isn't enough to justify more than a paragraph, and thus an entire stand alone page for the accident, and yes, I do know where to look. Massive difference.
As I said, in many cases, there isn't sufficient detail for both the accident and the aircraft type to justify a stand-alone page, least of all for aircraft whose entire entry won't EVER be much longer than a stub (and I know because I have expanded or written dozens of such pages), regardless of the actual importance of the event. You can see this in almost every accident listed prior to the 1930s - the accident should never have been split on any of them, except perhaps of the Fokker F.VII losing its wings.

Past tense needed for past events
This article is full of present tense statements, as if these accidents and incidents are ongoing.
MOS:TENSE says, "Generally, use past tense only for past events..." Present tense is generally favored in articles (e.g., "Obama and Trump are former US presidents," not "Obama and Trump were US presidents"), but not when describing events that have already happened. In the case of air crash articles, they are always in the past. (We don't learn about them until they've happened. If they haven't happened, we don't know that they will happen, so it's a
WP:Crystal ball issue.) This article needs a bit of fixing. I've done 2022-present.

2024 had a mix of items in past and present tense, but the farther back I look, the more uniform the present tense becomes. Why is that? Historical events are in the past, not the present, and writing about them in the present tense affects readability and goes against the MOS. Am I missing something? I know some history buffs like to write in the present tense about battles and such, and that's fine, but we have a standardized Manual of Style here. I've changed 2022-now, and I'm going to pause here. If someone can justify this deviation from the MOS, I'll revert my own tense edits.
