| − | === [[Memory Alpha:Pages for deletion/Tracy|Tracy]] === |
||
| − | Suggest restoration for the same rationale as above(now would be a proper disambig). [[User:31dot|31dot]] 10:55, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |
||
| − | * The intent of the disambig change was not to replace the search. This page simply replaces the search because every name except one has "Tracy" as the first name. The search bar covers all of those on its own now. So, '''oppose'''. -- [[User:Sulfur|sulfur]] 13:15, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |
||
| − | *'''Support''', as the search function has been broken for well over a month now, and it's not like wikia has a long track record of quickly fixing problems with the basic functionality of the site, so we can't, and shouldn't, rely on the search function working now or ever. It also costs us nothing to have a disambiguation, and in cases where the number of disambiguated pages exceeds the search suggestions the page wouldn't be replacing the search function, it would be more helpful than the search function. - {{User:Archduk3/Sig/nature}} 17:18, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |

| − | ** For the search bug -- can you please take the time, document exactly what is broken (and how) and email it to me? I'll followup with Wikia on this one. -- [[User:Sulfur|sulfur]] 18:04, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |

| − | === [[Memory Alpha:Pages for deletion/William|William]] === |
||
| − | Suggest restoration as it is now a valid disambig, but only the original page should be restored, not the other versions listed in the delete log. [[User:31dot|31dot]] 10:55, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |
||
| − | * '''Oppose'''. This is the same as "Tracy" in that every name starts with "Bill", "Billy", or "William". A disambiguation page should not replace the search. One like "Picard" works because it covers last names, something that doesn't come up easily in the search. The "Carey" one works a bit better, but I still have my misgivings about that one, as it's 2 surnames (one an in-universe character), and two first names (one in-universe). -- [[User:Sulfur|sulfur]] 13:15, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |
||
| − | Are you saying that last names are OK for this sort of thing, just not first names? I could live with that, I just want to make sure I understand you. [[User:31dot|31dot]] 15:43, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Yes -- first names are taken care of nicely by the search engine. "Proper" disambiguation pages differentiate between "Bob (Ensign)" and "Bob (Crewman)", whereas our extra disambig pages (such as "Picard") differentiate between things that our search engine can't cope well with (such as "Jean-Luc Picard" and "Maurice Picard"). -- [[User:Sulfur|sulfur]] 16:19, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |
||
| − | *'''Support''', per my reasoning above. - {{User:Archduk3/Sig/nature}} 17:18, April 7, 2012 (UTC) |
||
| − | I want to clarify that while I am not opposed to what Sulfur has said here and could live with it, I still maintain support of my suggestion. [[User:31dot|31dot]] 01:50, April 8, 2012 (UTC) |
