I fail to see the purpose of a disambiguation link on Box Hill, Victoria, when Box Hill is already a disambiguation page, not a redirect. Anthony DiPierro 00:29, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It's usual practice, for two reasons.

  1. The user may easily have arrived at this page from a link like [[Box Hill, Victoria|Box Hill]], which just looks like a link to Box Hill, and s/he was actually expecting to be taken to a different Box Hill.
  2. The other places that have the same name (or, in general, the other entries with the same name) are part of the legitimate content of an entry. In the case of place names, they may well reflect early settlement/emigration patterns or other sociological associations, but even if they do not, they are likely to be of interest.

I've never seen it before, so I'm not sure how "usual" it is. I also don't see any mention of it on Wikipedia:Disambiguation. If it's part of the legitimate content of the entry, put it in the entry itself, not at the top. Anthony DiPierro 04:25, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Plaza or Centro?

I see there is mention of "Whitehorse Centro" but most locals (including myself) still refer to it by its original name, Whitehorse Plaza. Is it worth making reference to this name? (In fact some locals erroneously called it "Box Hill Plaza"...) --Bricks J. Winzer 07:35, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adjacency table

I noticed someone has removed the suburb adjacencey table, so I've taken the liberty to put it back in. If anyone has any objections, have a look at the WikiProject Melbourne page on suburbs.
