[edit] List of TLA-Dabs

Could use more votes. Relisting. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:31, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

This page seems to be made redundant by Category:3-letter acronym disambiguations. The only article in the main namespace that currently links here is TLA, and that link should probably point to the category instead. If kept, this page should at least be moved out of the main namespace. Ilmari Karonen 19:26, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete and point the link from TLA to the category cited by IK. Probably not a common way of referring to the concept, so no need to keep a redirect for either usability or GFDL history. Barno 20:13, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Can an article page redirect to a category? -- BD2412 ^talk 20:58, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Technically speaking, yes, but it's a bad idea.—Wahoofive (talk) 15:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Update: I went ahead and changed the link at TLA. There are now no more links from the main namespace. --Ilmari Karonen 21:12, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• By the way, if the page is deleted, the corresponding edits to Wikipedia:Links to (disambiguation) pages should probably be reverted. --Ilmari Karonen 21:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• RENAME to Wikipedia:List of TLA disambiguation pages, this page goes along with Wikipedia:TLAs from AAA to DZZ and the like that were renamed. 132.205.94.190 22:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• I'll go with rename, per above. -- BD2412 ^talk 20:46, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• TLA pages are bad ideas in my opinion, but I won't try to do a POINT or anything, so my choice here is to go with the rename proposed by 132.205.94.190. Titoxd 05:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
• Rename per 132.205.94.190 is fine with me. Ilmari Karonen 14:45, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
• Rename per above. >: Roby Wayne ^{Talk • Hist} 05:06, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I have no idea what this page means and am putting a too technical tag on it. --Banana04131 00:23, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Update: 132.205.45.110 added a move template to Talk:List of TLA-Dabs yesterday, but did not list the page at WP:RM. I have added the listing, and will add a note to the talk page pointing the discussion to here. Since the consensus currently seems to be in favor of a move, I'll go ahead and move the page if no opposing votes appear within a few days. Ilmari Karonen 11:01, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and move to Wikipedia namespace: this should have been moved when the other TLA pages were. -- Francs2000 20:34, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
• Move to WP namespace as per 132.205.94.190. Nabla 23:09, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Move as per above. —Phil | Talk 13:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
