Talk:Corolla

message: diff - I completely disagree with this merge and redirect. There didn't appear to be any consensus above and still hundreds of botany pages link here and are now redirected to Toyota Corolla that has no disambig notice at the top of that article. I'm in favor of reinstating the article. --Rkitko (talk) 15:18, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  Even if the botanical articles are merged, that means that Corolla should become a disambiguations page with the content currently at Corolla (disambiguation).  A word with more than one common meaning should never be a straight redirect. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

text: As for the merge of Corolla (in the botanical sense) and Petal, I thought we had consensus on some level of merging (there wasn't really consensus on whether to put it all in perianth, or flower, or what, but merging Corolla and Petal seems like a good first step towards whereever this ends up).  I don't see a reason for seperate Petal and Corolla articles.  Now, about the redirect, there's no consensus on that yet, but I would think that Corolla should be the disambiguation page.  The car is known to a lot more people, the botanical usage is also widespread, and there is at least one other, more obscure, meaning.  Trying to pick one, and get Template:otheruses (or similar) set up right is likely to be a big tangle of redirects and italicized confusion at the top of every involved page, I would think.

replies: text: I'd prefer the page to exist as it used to, saw no problem with it standing on its own. Plus, a lot of articles use a link to corolla for the explanation of what it is. But that's just my preference. I suppose a dab page here wouldn't be terrible, though the redir/otheruses templates are easy to figure out. --Rkitko (talk) 01:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Page merged? 

message: I think that I found enough 1st century stuff to make the article about corolla interesting and big enough to standalone from the petal article.  The information is well-cited and well, interesting in how snarky they were in the first century.  Is new found and cited material enough to get a new concensus for here? -- carol (talk) 04:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

message: You might want to review WP:DAB for disambiguation page guidelines. All the information below the links doesn't belong here. And the disambiguation page should exist at Corolla, which currently redirects here, instead of the title with (disambiguation) in the name. There are more links to corolla, too. --Rkitko (talk) 01:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: All I know is that corolla should have been a redirection to the car -- it is a great car!  I owned one and to this day wish that I had not destroyed the interior by driving too fast down the dirt roads; so it is really not a prejudicial opinion.  I was working with what was here.  The new stuff on the page is simply incredibly interesting almost ancient history stuff I found while looking for something else.  It is too bad that it is too late to name the web stuff here 'wikiplinya' because there is a huge similarity.... -- carol (talk) 04:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Botanical terms are more important than cars. The latter tend to go out of date pretty quickly. Richard001 (talk) 09:02, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dab page guidelines 

message: It has been common for people referring to Toyota Corolla to use simply Corolla in articles.  It has also been common for people composing articles on plants to use Corolla instead of Corolla (flower).  These are the most common origins of what-links-here items that need disambiguation.
As of 2008-04-06, there are <10 articles in what-links-here and those should be exclusively plant-related links.
