Learning about disambiguation pages, and seeking advice about DAB vs. set index article
[edit]Hello, @ShelfSkewed. Sorry to clutter your page. I now understand the reason you rolled back my rollback of your edit [[1]], and I've learned about proper use of DAB page links.
Here's where I'm hoping that I can ask you for a favor. I could use some advice: My main confusion about the link to femoral is that it doesn't seem like it fits the definition of a disambiguation page to me. "Femoral" only means one thing: "pertaining to the femur," so the list is really of things related to the title, not things that could be confused with each other. To me, disambiguation is about clarifying the distinctions between things sharing the same or very similar name like John Henry (horse) and John Henry (folklore) on the John Henry (disambiguation) page. This, to me, fits much better with a Wikipedia:Set index articles page. Do you think it would make sense to convert "Femoral" to an SIA? Any advice appreciated. Getwood (talk) 23:55, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, the distinction between disambiguation pages and SIAs is sometimes hazy and debatable. My inclination is that you are right about the Femoral page—that it's closer to a SIA than to a dab page. I suppose you could be bold and retag it as a SIA and put it on your watchlist and see if anyone objects and changes it back. And then a discussion might ensue, depending on how strongly you feel about and how far you want to pursue it. —ShelfSkewed Talk 00:37, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you. I may give it a go. Getwood (talk) 16:03, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
