[edit] Disambiguation page

This page should be a disambiguation as 'Indoor Football' means a totally different sport in England/Scotland/Wales/Ireland as it does in the US. Lenzar 23:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree that there are different meanings, but I disagree with your edit. The article has links to other meanings. Right below the title 'Indoor Football' is a sentences that states the following: This article discusses indoor variations of American football; for indoor versions of association football (soccer), see futsal and indoor soccer. Many names/phrases/articles can mean more than one thing. Should we edit every page that has multiple meanings? Personally, I do not think so, which is why I do not agree with your change.

There is already a disambiguation link at the top of the page for people looking for indoor soccer. Every association listed on the page for Indoor soccer refers to itself as an Indoor soccer league. That would seem to indicate to me that most people looking for information would be looking for Indoor soccer. Those that come here by mistake can easily find it. --Onorem 23:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

And why should what the US call 'Indoor Football' get priority? You don't own Wiki... Lenzar 10:31, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

  • No less so than the U.K. But again, the indoor soccer page even states that indoor assn. football is primarily played in the U.S., and most games elsewhere are officially futsal. The disambiguation link atop the Indoor Football page links to both of those pages. I think you'd need to make a better case than "You don't own Wiki" to convince us that all the American, Canadian, and Major Indoor Soccer Leagues belong on an "indoor football" page. --Akbeancounter (talk) 02:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Surely this should be set out the like the main Football page, with no bias towards any one discipline. --BigTurnip (talk) 23:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
