# Talk:Goat

There should be content about GOAT (sports culture) in the culture section. 2001:4455:389:2700:7822:3156:B9D2:8410 (talk) 14:32, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Isn't that just the word "goat" with a totally different meaning, not related to the actual animal? As the hat-note says, "This article is about the domesticated species of goat... For other uses, see Goat (disambiguation)." DMacks (talk) 14:37, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Yes, Wikipedia articles are about things not words; Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:55, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

@Remsense: It seems plausible IMO, the goat emoji has its own mention and img in the linked article. I feel like most people typing that into the searchbar, due to the emoji's slang sense, are going to be looking for the GOAT abbreviation. ❧ LunaEatsTuna (talk), proudly editing since 2018 (and just editing since 2017) – posted at 06:11, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

@Remsense: Any response? :3 I think adding it back is not unreasonable looking at the possibility of it being typed into the search bar in order to find its meaning + it is mentioned at the target article which ofc makes it a stronger case. We use hatnotes like that one if the meaning of a redirect is ambiguous as is evidently the case of 🐐︎. ❧ LunaEatsTuna (talk), proudly editing since 2018 (and just editing since 2017) – posted at 01:17, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
No one would put the emoji into the search bar and expect to get to that article. It's pointless clutter at the top of an article. Remsense ‥ 论 01:50, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
Why not? It got 36 page views in the last 30 days. ❧ LunaEatsTuna (talk), proudly editing since 2018 (and just editing since 2017) – posted at 02:09, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
Right, because it was visible at the top of a high-traffic article, not because it was where they originally wanted to go. Even if not, 1 view/day is quite low, given we already have a disambiguation page also. Remsense ‥ 论 02:16, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
There is no disambig for 🐐︎ though, which only has two meanings. I agree the page views are low, but is there any guideline/policy that hints at a limited page view requirement for a disambig hatnote? Otherwise, I see no actual reason to exclude it. @Remsense: ❧ LunaEatsTuna (talk), proudly editing since 2018 (and just editing since 2017) – posted at 18:08, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
It means "goat", given it is a pictograph of a goat. A link to the article about the homographic acronym is on Goat (disambiguation), though maybe it should be moved further up? Remsense 🌈 论 18:32, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

The etymology in this article isn't the same as the etymology in the Wiktionary article on "goat", which says that the Proto-Germanic cannot go back to a PIE form. How can this be reconciled? I think that the etymology listed here should be changed to agree with the information presented in Wiktionary. DdeWylvyn (talk) 14:56, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
