Approve ALT0 or ALT1 (ultimately up to the promoter to decide whether they want additional links in the hook or not). As interesting as ALT2 or ALT3 may be, I don't think everyone's interested in chronological facts, unfortunately. PrimalMustelid (talk) 14:18, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- For the record, my own preference is ALT0. TompaDompa (talk) 20:58, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
