[edit] See Also vs. Main Article

With reference to the recent edits involving reference to removing the "Main Article" at the top of the article and substituting a See Also instead:

An editor deleted the reference to the "Main Article " at the top of this article, stating "This is the main article". That is incorrect, this is not the "Main Article". The "Main Article" is Tony Award, which explains, in some detail, what the award is, with history, administrative details, and categories.

This article (2008 Tonys) is just 1 of a series of some 41 articles on the individual years' Tony Awards. The difference is that each of the 41 "year" articles contains details of that year only (e.g., where the ceremony was held, the hosts, who presented, what shows were represented) with the detailed nominee/winner list for that year only. (I should know, I've done a bunch of them!) I am not changing anything as it's not worth fighting/edit warring over, but I wanted to set the record straight.

Hello, Jean. I am not sure what is the right thing to do here. Perhaps there is another tag that would be more exactly applicable? If you are confident, then please go ahead and change it back. I will support any action you take here, since you have done substantially all the work on these Tony Award articles. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:44, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Check out for example the Grammy Awards by year Template:Grammy Award years, or the Emmys by year Template:EmmyAwardsbyYear, none of the "year" articles have the template on the top of the page. Bib (talk) 01:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Found a rule. On Template:Main it says: "When Wikipedia articles become too large, subarticles are usually created. This template is used to mark the section of the "Main" article that was separated to add a link to the new article. It should not be used at the top of an article to link to its parent topic; use a wikilink in the lead instead, and add {{SubArticle}} at the top of the subarticle's talk page if desired. The template is also not used instead of inline links or as a "see also". It has a specific usage as described above." Bib (talk) 01:49, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
