I think this page should be a disambiguation page, mentioning both the current target and Wikipedia:Advertisements. When looking at the target, WP:ADVERTISING is not mentioned among the Policy shortcuts. Rather, WP:NOTADVERTISING has that role, and should be the ones listed in the disambiguation list. Also, there are relatively few What links here for this place, at least to not make it too confusing to find a disambiguation page here. Subsequently, the link at MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown should link to WP:NOTADVERTISING instead. Mikael Häggström ( talk) 08:07, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

#REDIRECT [[Wikipedia:Advertising (disambiguation)]] {{R to disambiguation page}}
Wikipedia:Advertising (disambiguation) is new and solves a problem of there being several similar page names that led to my not knowing of one important page's existence for a long time. Another editor had a similar proposal, to which no one objected. If this edit is made, I can follow up with a request for a matching edit to MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown, solving the only problem I know of with this edit. Even if the latter edit is not made soon (or at all), clicking MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown's link will still work by redirecting users to the disambiguation page (and, if piping there to WP:NOTADVERTISING is preferred, that's easily done).

Hello all. I've just started a requested move discussion for Wikipedia:Advertisements, which I think should link to this page. The discussion is at Wikipedia talk:Advertisements#Requested move if anyone is interested. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 15:33, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Not liking it ...at all! Political ads have no place on this medium. I am reading an article on dental plaque. The last thing I want to see is that nonsense. I avoid political blogs for a reason. Election is over. Get over it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.11.21 ( talk) 02:56, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
I hate the new advertising program. The ad saying "Don't let Obama give your money to these guys" just seems racist, they look like regular black people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.59.122 ( talk) 03:42, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
I especially don't want to view any political ads on Wikipedia at all. It will make users question the motivation behind articles if they see such politically charged ads. 71.99.198.67 ( talk) 05:03, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
Note: I've semi-protected this page for three days to prevent more comments like the above, as Wikipedia itself is not the problem, and this page is supposed to be for discussing the page Wikipedia:Advertising rather than for talk about advertising on Wikipedia in general. If you have further questions about any ads you may be seeing while surfing Wikipedia, you are welcome to ask about them at the help desk. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 05:15, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
