Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation

message: What would be the best way to name this article, given that we have Fifth Avenue Hotel for a different (former) hotel on the same avenue? I don't think using the word "The" is the correct way — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Options include using the date it opened, i.e. The Fifth Avenue Hotel (opened 2023) or the street it is on, i.e. The Fifth Avenue Hotel (28th Street) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:33, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

text: As long as the correct title is The Fifth Avenue Hotel in accordance with WP:THE, then WP:SMALLDIFFS kicks in, and we needn't add anything further to the title. All we need is hatnotes on each article pointing to the other. Station1 (talk) 03:55, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

message: I'd like to point out an aspect of #on what statistics should look like for hatnotes, primary redirects, primary topics that is becoming increasingly clear - we don't need a lot of time to detect changes in readership navigation patterns. Usually whatever happened with one month after a change was quite indicative of the pattern of traffic going forward, there's never a serious fluctuation.
We should use this to our advantage - to be more willing to experiment for e.g. two months, because that will usually suffice to get measurements and decide if the change was good or not. --Joy (talk) 18:16, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

message: This is effectively a continuation of Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation/Archive 55#effects of WP:NAMELIST on navigation outcomes for anthroponymy entries which went stale and got archived out, but still applies.
More examples have since cropped up where we see from the available data that readers would benefit from us including the most popular given name and surname entries on the base disambiguation pages whenever a separate name list (set index) exists:
* Talk:Boyle
* Talk:Luka
I wanted to title this section "WP:NAMELIST considered harmful", but it's not really, just the overly strict implementation we employ right now. :)
If there are no objections, I would go ahead with making this change:
: 
: 
: 
:: footnote here: All-time page views for all entries listed at Lincoln (name) All time monthly page views comparing the aforementioned 'Lincoln' topics
: 
:: footnote here: All-time page views for all entries listed at Herb (given name) All time monthly page views comparing the aforementioned 'Herb' topics

replies: text: This covers the most pressing topic of #Wikipedia talk:Content assessment#Request for comment. The other issue, whether to encourage keeping anthroponymy lists merged, needs more discussion because it may detract from the goals of this - e.g. if we squash a short list like Herb (surname) back into Herb (disambiguation), and don't squash the given name list, that may give undue prominence to people with the surname. We already have a problem with the long tail of ambiguity cluttering disambiguation pages. I'd prefer to deal with the complexities of that separately. --Joy (talk) 11:29, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
