Mohave and
Mojave are two Dab pages that start out by linking erroneously to each other. In the case of
Mohave, both the evidence and
AGF suggest complete ignorance of the principles of Dab'n (
1
2).
IMO it can only make sense to have separate Dab pages for the two arguably interchangeable spellings, respecting colleagues decisions as to which spelling to apply as article titles for the topics that need one or the other in the title. But dumping uses of both spellings together on each page creates maintainability problems, and poorly serves users who correctly chose a spelling that consensus has decided is more suitable to the topic they have in mind. So those who have erred as to which of the two Dab pages to start on should be aided by a See-also lk to the other page, not with duplication of entries on one page that also exist on the other. That is, only ...Mohave...-titled articles lk'd directly from
Mohave Dab page (and not Rdrs to such articles), and conversely re the Mojave spellings.
