Creating new pages

The notice at the top of NCS Group was there because it invoked the {{subpages}} template at the top, while no one had yet created the Template:NCS Group/Metadata (the so-called "metadata file") for it. When you create a new article, you can just remove {{subpages}} from the top until I get around to create the metadata for you, or you can learn to create the metadata yourself. You can read more about subpages at CZ:Subpages. Pat Palmer (talk) 07:47, 9 May 2023 (CDT)

Dash style matters; plus, I renamed a page you created

I have moved India–Singapore Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement to India-Singapore Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (2005). In English, we do NOT use the long dash that you used (–); instead, we use a short dash (-). Although they look similar, use of the long dash messes up search and linking. Also, I felt the article should have a year after it, as sometime in the future, there could be another such agreement. I left a redirect in place, for now, for the long dash name lacking date.
