People (disambiguation) → People – People was just an overly-verbose disambiguation page with no primary content. It now redirects here; better would be if this was simply there instead. Pfhorrest ( talk) 10:06, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
The page "People" seems to be a vandal magnet, every third edit, since its creation, seems to be a vandal edit. Since "People (disambiguation)" used to sit at "People", before it was moved to make way for the current "People", in 2005, also attracted a lot of vandalism in 2005... so the title "People" is a vandal magnet, and has been since December 2004... Wouldn't it be better to protect the redirect "People" and keep the disambiguation page here? (or will vandals not notice that this isn't the page called "People" ? ) 76.65.128.198 ( talk) 12:37, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
Several recent edits ( [1] [2] [3] [4]) have concerned styling of the lede of this of this disambiguation page.
Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Disambiguation_pages#Linking_to_a_primary_topic indicates that if there is a primary topic for a disambiguated term, the first line of the article should briefly direct users to that primary topic page, before introducing a disambiguating list. I am the one who first introduced the "People is the plural of person" phrasing as the primary-topic line ( here), as I am elsewhere advocating that People should be a simple redirect to Person, or preferably that this dab page should be moved to that title, and then link to Person as the primary topic.
I introduced that change at the same time as redirecting People to here. However, that redirect has since been reverted, and for the time being the article at People is about "coherent social or ethnic groups" or the like. Thus at present, that is the primary topic for the term "People" on Wikipedia, and the lede of this article should read as in this revision. It is ironic that people are reverting my reversion of a change I myself originally instantiated; I am simply undoing myself here for consistency with having been undone elsewhere. I would like very much for the first line of this article to read "People is the plural of person" and be done with it, but for the time people that is not Wikipedia's primary topic for the term "People", and this dab page should reflect that until the situation changed. -- Pfhorrest ( talk) 09:15, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
