Hatnotes

[edit]

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.
I don't really want to split an article over a technicality, but a note is warranted.——Randomstapler's alt 22:43, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
