How does this work?

1. Randomly select a section from the list of contents below.
2. In that section, you will find 5 suggested redirects/disambiguations.
   • Each suggestion will have a link that says "Easy Preview". Clicking this link automatically fills in the description, and the contents of the page, but doesn't save it. You still have to then press the Save button if you want to save the suggestion, but you don't have to type a single thing.
   • Each suggestion will have the name of the page that's being suggested, just to the right of "Easy Preview". If this link is red, then there is nothing at this page currently, so you can add the suggestion, if you agree with it. If this link is blue, then it's probably already been done.
3. Then please delete from this page any suggestions that you added, or that have already been done (this is to make it easier to see what's still to be done). If there were suggestions that you thought were bad suggestions, then please strike them out rather than deleting them (and they will then be excluded from future lists).

That's it. Repeat, if you like.

  • Not sure this is a good idea - I think this should be a redirect to the Sung Dynasty, or something like that. Noel (talk) 13:23, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Not sure we want to encourage "."s in article titles like that? I'm OK with it, though. Noel (talk) 13:58, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I agree. A built-in rd isn't warranted, in my opinion. – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 01:25, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

  • Do we want abbrevs with "."s in titles? Noel (talk) 14:30, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Ambiguous? Noel (talk) 15:01, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I'd say so. – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 01:31, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

• %23REDIRECT+%5B%5BLotus+Cars%5D%5D&action=edit&wpSummary=Add+redirect+to+%5B%5BLotus+Cars%5D%5D&wpPreview=1 Easy Preview Lotu → Lotus Cars 76
  • Must be faux plural of Lotus? That's odd, I've never heard it ("Lotii" is the one I've heard), and I'm a major Lotus fan. Would strongly suggest against; definite neologism. Add it to the page, if someone must, and "Search" will find it. Noel (talk) 15:12, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • It looks like "Lotu" is being used as an abbreviation in tables of racing results (see Lloyd Ruby, Mike Taylor for examples). Striking out as these tables are so common that they are skewing the results.
• %23REDIRECT+%5B%5BIrish+Minister+for+Education+%26+Science%5D%5D&action=edit&wpSummary=Add+redirect+to+%5B%5BIrish+Minister+for+Education+%26+Science%5D%5D&wpPreview=1 Easy Preview Minister for Education → Irish Minister for Education & Science 72

  • Probably not. I'm not sure it any other nation's naval academy is known as "the Naval Academy", but it might be confusing. Noel (talk) 17:40, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Agreed, striking out. -- Nickj 05:19, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
