“…In 2022, Mandić and Šubašić [
12] treated all other open possibilities reported in [
15] excluding two sets of parameters. Recently, Montinaro [
13] made a contribution to the study of point‐imprimitive symmetric designs when
with a size of the intersection of block and imprimitivity class at least 3. In our study of point‐imprimitive symmetric designs with sporadic almost simple automorphism groups, we observe that the candidate parameter sets fall into type “a” or “b”, the first two parts in [
15, Theorem 1.1].…”
