Template talk:R from other capitalisation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Title
The use of "alternate" for "another", "different" or "alternative" is wrong. This page needs to be renamed. — Chameleon 13:00, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
- It's the terminology used on the main page on the subject. -- User:Docu

- I was referring about the main page on the subject, not this talk page. Wake up. — Chameleon 11:46, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- I'll be renaming this page within a week unless someone can put forward arguments for alternate being better than the correct alternative or other. — Chameleon 09:21, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

This page (as well as the category) should use "from" instead of "for", like the other redirect templates. ··gracefool |☺ 08:12, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- No problem for this one, so I moved it to {{R from other capitalisation}}. I used "other" instead of "alternative" as the later (and "alternate") seem to create lengthy discussions. -- User:Docu
- I always thought the answer to that was "alternative" is a noun and "alternate" is not. But "other" is indeed less ambiguous. --Stratadrake 22:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate templates...
So how did we end up with eight templates saying the exact thing? It's misleading to say that any one of them redirects to another when this is the case, and couldn't we establish redirects without causing recursion issues? --Stratadrake 22:27, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
