[edit] Australian Football League

The most comon use of "AFL" is Australian Football League, so it should be directly linked to Australian Football League, with a link back to the current AFL page as a Disambiguation.

I think that you mean: "The most common use in Australia..." --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 14:05, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I disagree. If I said "AFL" here, very few would think Aussie Rules Football. Most would probably either think American Football League or American Federation of Labor, and certainly the former if it were in a sports context (and if it were a current sports context, then Arena Football League).

I doubt that they would think American Football League as it no longer operates and does not cause confusion with the National Football League (NFL). However, the Arena Football League (AFL) is current and growing in popularity stateside so there may be confusion there. I think that the AFL definately needs to be highlighted over say, the Alberton Football League, for example, as they are lightyears apart in their profile. --Spewmaster 01:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
