Here from User talk:JHunterJ#dab of black widow. I think this page should redirect to Latrodectus. Because the non-spider dab page entries on Black Widow (disambiguation) are for Initial Caps "Black Widow", and not for Common caps "Black widow", "Black widow" would appear to be used for spiders of the genus as a primary topic, and so that article should be the target of the redirect. A reader looking for one of the "Black Widows" (caps) needn't refine the search -- they can use the hatnote (formerly) on Black widow's target to get to the dab page. Being the target of redirect does not imply identity. In this case, "Black widow" does not imply that all the elements of the genus are referred to by the redirect, just that the article contains the elements of the redirect. That is, black widows are a subset of the genus, but not necessarily that the set of the genus is identical to the set of "black widows". If readers who enter or click on "black widow" are primarily looking for the spider type, then the genus appears to be the primary topic. -- JHunterJ ( talk) 14:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect
Widow black and has thus listed it
for discussion. This discussion will occur at
Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 March 22#Widow black until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
