Reversion

[edit]

Could you please explain why you did revert 890522415, please Dino (talk · contribs) ? The page Channel system redirects to this page. And channel system has at least a second meaning. According to Lithopsian (talk · contribs) in the redirection talk page, since there is currently only two articles "channel system", a hatnote should be used instead of a redirection. I thus added a hatnote. Anyway, I guess that someone looking for "channel system" (related to computer system), need to have a way to figure out there exists another page, channel system (computer science). So can you please tell what should be done in this case ? Arthur MILCHIOR (talk) 02:23, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Perhaps have channel system link to a disambiguation page? If there are two meanings, this makes sense, like Comic (disambiguation) links to a veriety of meanings.

Hope this helps. Be I confused, let me know.

As explained to me by Lithopsian (talk · contribs), wikipedia states that disambiguation should be avoided when there are only two meanings (see WP:TWODABS). Actually, a quick google search shows that there are indeed far more than two meanings for this words, but there are no wikipedia article for those other meanings, so that's not something which should be considered right now. Thus, according to WP:TWODABS, the rule would be to put a hatnote on the page chosen. I must however note that I assume that channel system (computer science) would makes more sens as the main page, since it's name actually contains «channel system». But according to Lithopsian, this can't be made now because of links to channel system. (I can't find any such link however, appart from the talk pages mentionning the current problem. So I can't correct those links).Arthur MILCHIOR (talk) 05:27, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any wikilinks either now. I suspect I looked at the links for Abyssal channel, it is very easy to end up at the redirect target instead of the redirect itself. So scratch that as a reason. Channel system (computer science) would seem like a good primary topic. Maybe give it a few days to let that brand new article settle down and then see how a change of redirect target goes down. Lithopsian (talk) 14:15, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
