Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation/Wahoofive

message: Although the disclaimer on the page says it's not intended to change policy, I've made the following changes:
*Deprecated the multiple-stub type page
*Put a disclaimer on the Fraction option
*Assumed that the Michael controversy was going to result in a consensus to put the list of first-name Michaels on a separate page (of course, if that reaches some other solution I'll change it here. I'm hoping that will get resolved before this page has been entirely discussed.)
*Put a disclaimer on the Horse (heroin) example.

message: How about:
:Always have a (disambiguation) page - to faciliate the separation between Ambiguous Pages and Disambiguation Pages.  The (disambiguation) page may redirect to the topic page, but make sure there's two pages.

replies: text: This would be a policy change. Why not put this on the main Disambig talk? I'm trying to minimize the policy changes implemented in this rewrite. Also, I've avoided your "ambiguous page" term because it's the title that's ambiguous, not the page. I'm using the phrases disambiguation links and disambiguation pages, although there may be better terms. —Wahoofive (talk) 17:31, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Perhaps the Disambiguation page should now concentrate on the structure of disambiguation, and all the appearance of a disambiguated page should be on the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) page. Josh Parris ✉ 06:28, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I was trying to strike a balance by providing highlights, but if others agree with you, we can certainly dump them. Remember that disambiguation links aren't treated on that MOS page.—Wahoofive (talk) 06:47, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation vs Style 

message: Perhaps the section "CSS" should be renamed or even merged into another section?  I think "CSS" is a rather inappropriate title for the message that section is (or should be) trying to say.  Neonumbers 11:04, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right; it should go. A reference to the category should go on the MOS page. The link is pretty useless since that page is almost exclusively about stubs.—Wahoofive (talk) 15:53, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
