Acroterion: Re:
this edi: Per
WP:NOTAMB, There is no need to direct readers to other articles that have a similar name when the title already unambiguous. Hatnotes should generally only be placed when the title someone may have clicked on is reasonably ambiguous, in order to direct them to the intended article with the more obscure or specific usage. The
Jefferson National Forest in Virginia, while a redirect to
George Washington and Jefferson National Forests , appears to be the
primary topic, thus the meaning most people are intending to find. But, as it is potentially ambiguous, it would be more appropriate to place the following hatnote on
George Washington and Jefferson National Forests: {{
Redirect|Jefferson National Forest|the forest in Montana|Jefferson National Forest (Montana)}}
. Someone searching for, clicking on, or reading
Jefferson National Forest (Montana) already reasonably knows that they're on the article about the Montana forest, doesn't need to be pointed to an article about a different forest that merely shares the same name. For similar reasoning, the unambiguous "
James Brown (Archdeacon of Perth)" doesn't start with "for the American funk singer, see
James Brown", while the potentially ambiguous "
James Brown" directs readers to the other usages at
James Brown (disambiguation). Lastly, when hatnote redirects are used, only the focal article(s) should be linked, as explained at
WP:HATEXTRA. Cheers,
