[edit] Where should this redirect to?
This page is a casualty of a slow-motion edit war at Lost. The details are unimportant, but the crux is whether Lost should be a disambiguation page or a redirect to Lost (TV series). The anonymous editor who had been changing Lost into a redirect suggested at Talk:Lost that users could use LOST to "bypass the dictatorship"; in response, an admin redirected LOST to Lost and protected the page.
Putting the history aside, we should come to a consensus about where this page should redirect to. There is related discussion at Talk:Lost. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 17:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
In my opinion it seems mmost logical to point LOST to the Wikipedia entry for the LOST TV series. I can't see any reason why someoene would type the name in capitals if they were looking for anything other than the TV series. OldManSin 15:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- They would do so if they were looking for mustard gas, which can be referred to by this acronym. — Scm83x talk

Oh, God. Don't tell me we have to do another vote to decide where this redirects to. Can't we come to some consensus, either way? (I don't really care that much, it's just such a pathetic thing to have an edit war over.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 16:29, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

- Scm probably just didn't realize this has been an issue. There was a fairly good consensus reached already on this to leave it redirected to the TV series -- there's much more discussion at Talk:Lost · Katefan0(scribble)/poll 16:55, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- Kate, I don't see the consensus. The last point I see dicussing LOST is a mention that you will figure it out after the Lost redirect debate was over. That never happened. Can you point me to the consensus for this page that I missed? — Scm83x talk 17:07, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

As far as I can see, it's just Scm83x who feels that this page should redirect to Lost, the overwhelming consensus is to stop the petty tug-of-war or to redirect it to Lost (TV Series). OldManSin 03:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Please see Kate and Rhobite's discussion at Talk:Lost. — Scm83x hook 'em 03:35, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- "What LOST should redirect to is actually a separate issue, and can be discussed at Talk:LOST"
- My comment above still stands. The overwhelming consensus is to stop the petty tug-of-war or to redirect it to Lost (TV Series). OldManSin 20:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I believe it should be a disambiguation page or redirect to Mustard Gas. -- Magioladitis 11:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RV to TV Show
Talk:Lost has no consensus on THIS SPECIFIC TITLE. If you can find an example of where a vote this was put to post it here and revert it... Otherwise, keep it as redirected... or put it up to a vote. --Nick Catalano contrib talk 21:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
