I would like to see this page redirected to Category:Singularity. I think that having a single page that was the category (which is a natural disabmiguous page) and simplifies the idea of self-organization. What do folks think? -- MarkDilley
- A category could contain lots of wikis about a similar subject, all with distinctly different names, one or more of which could be the same as the category, but this is a distinct idea from disambiguation. Disambiguation is discussed at WikiIndex:Disambiguation. Perhaps we can talk more there, on the talk page? TedErnst | talk 14:29, 4 Apr 2006 (EDT)
- I'm with Ted again (sorry, Mark, nothing personal, it's just MediaWiki experience!!). Unless an article is always going to be very short, it should be on a separate page from the category of the same name, or there will be too much scrolling needed to get to the lists of subcategories and articles, which are the main value of displaying a category. robinp 16:26, 4 Apr 2006 (EDT)
