This article should be updated to follow the format of other '$' redirects (e.g. $2, $5 etc). Perhaps it could be semi-protected?? (Extra3 21:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Internationalize

$1 can mean more than just "one dollar". It can also mean "one peso". I propose that this page be turned into a disambiguation page similar to $2, $5, etc. Rawr 06:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I would love to do that, but the page is protected. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 18:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I just made a request to unprotect it at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. But it seems that the reason it was protected in the first place was not because of vandalism or revert war, but technical difficulty. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 18:28, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

{{editprotected}.}

Should be redirected to $ per the above. 68.39.174.238 21:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I changed the target of the redirect to $. Respond here if you prefer a different option, but a redirect to the disambiguation page makes sense. NoSeptember 22:06, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I was thinking of replacing the redirect with a disambiguation page, similar to $2, $5, $10, etc. After all, "$1" should not be about the dollar sign, but the amount of money: $1. Rawr 04:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I believe the reason is a technical one. The log says "MediaWiki namespace/user interface bugs can often cause accidental editing of this page". Some MediaWiki code must be written with $1 as variable. But it could, sometimes, show as a link to $1 itself. See Special:Whatlinkshere/$1. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 06:50, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Change redirect

Why don't we redirect to $1 (disambiguation) instead and make the format match $2? - grubber 19:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea. For those of you who just joined this discussion, see also Talk:10 cents. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 19:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I third that. $2 has much better content. (Extra3 21:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC))

I've unprotected $1, I think we will be ok with it that way. We don't really need a disambiguation page, we can do it here IMO, but edit as you guys see fit. NoSeptember 22:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MediaWiki

This article is constantly linked in MediaWiki pages — is there any problem? Slade (TheJoker) 19:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so, since all such links are replaced by actual text when people see the messages themselves. Gracenotes^T § 02:59, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
