[edit] Location

Why isn't the article just called Asuran (currently a redirect to this page) in stead of Asuran (Stargate)? In the unlikely case there will be another use for the name "Asuran" we could always create a disambiguation page and move here again. Personally I'd like to move this article here, but I'm not an administrator, so I have no rights to do this. I could copy/paste the article there and make a redirect here, but that wouldn't move the history of this article, so that's not an option either. Everyone agree? Is there an administrator in the house? Cristan 09:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Check out the history of Asuran (Stargate) and Talk:Asuran. The article was originally named Asuran and moved (sans the early history, most of which was due to me) to what it currently is, per "our naming standards". TerraFrost 13:59, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I have merged the page histories. Please do not "move" pages by cut and paste, but use the move button in the future. Thank you, Kusma (討論) 08:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Why did you move this article? I see no consensus or banners indicating such. The correct location for this article, per our normal naming standards, is Asuran (Stargate). Morphh ^(talk) 15:50, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

It was requested here. My main interest was to merge the page histories, but since Asuran was a redirect to Asuran (Stargate) anyway, Asuran is the correct title anyway. There is no need for a disambiguation title if the name is not ambiguous to start with, and as the people are apparently called "Asurans", not "Asurans (Stargate)", the naming conventions suggest that Asuran is the correct title. Anyway, as I have repaired the cut and paste, the page can now be moved between the two names with the "move" function again and I won't stop you from doing so although the current title is the correct one.

BTW Stargate articles also follow the standard naming conditions, see Free Jaffa Nation, Tau'ri, Tok'ra, none of which have an unnecessary (Stargate) in the title. It is only used where necessary, as in Replicator (Stargate). Kusma (討論) 16:14, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
