In this diff, which I've now reverted, Rogerd eliminated links to KDE, Weird Science and Internet Oracle, with the edit summary "rv - no one is going to link to "Lisa" when they really meant "Weird Science". That is the purpose of disamb pages."
I think there's a misunderstanding of the purpose of disambiguation pages here. No one should ever link to them, at least not intentionally. The point of DP's are twofold:
An entry with no link at all does not help for either purpose. With the links, if someone typed "Lisa", intending to read about the Internet Oracle's girlfriend, they'd discover that there's not a dedicated article on that subject, but they are invited to get to the article ( Internet Oracle) that discusses her. Without the links, they'd have to type, again, to get to the article (or perhaps will think that there exists no article that discusses the topic).
Each entry on a DP should have exactly one navigable link, no more, no less. More than one makes navigation off the page (the point of DP's) harder; less than one makes it impossible without typing. -- TreyHarris 16:35, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Why redirect LiSA here, instead of LiSA (Japanese musician, born 1987)? Seems unambiguous to me, and not something one would type by mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaloMartins ( talk • contribs) 01:49, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect LiSA. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. – MJL ‐Talk‐ ☖ 22:31, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Since they all happen to be singers anyway, I figured why not change the section name. I argue people would benefit more when searching for articles when they know they're singers instead of them being different Lisas. Opecuted ( talk) 15:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
