    It takes just as little time to remove the .m. yourself, maybe even less.

    I myself do indeed remove the .m.s from my links out of politeness, but it is impolite to demand that others do this.

      IMO demand implies stronger language than I was using, my intention was to simply make a request of anyone that encountered my message. I’ve only started making this request because this happening is something I’ve noticed happen for literal years, and I want to raise awareness about it, hopefully get others to notice and not make this mistake. Honestly I think the perfect solution would be for Wikipedia to implement a fix on their end, but I have no idea how to go about making a request of them like that.
