Kinnikinick redirect

Currently, Kinnikinnick redirects to Bearberry but around where I live, we call the Red Osier Dogwood as "kinnikinnick" and bearberry as something that is added to the "kinnikinnick." Is this a pure regionalism or should this redirect instead go to a disambiguation page and from the disambiguation to the various uses of this word? CJLippert 23:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Or should the redirect instead go to the Red Osier Dogwood instead and not here at Bearberry? CJLippert 20:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would still hold that the Red Osier Dogwood use is a minority (local) use of the word. But does this mean that we should have an article on kinnikinnick as a smoking mixture? I still find knnikinnick used most often for bearberry. Even the Minnesota source cited in the bearberry article admits the inclusion of bearberry in the mixture. --Bejnar (talk) 23:13, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bearberry is by far the most common, but Red Osier Dogwood is common as well, but not as common as Bearberry. Calling other plants Kinnikinnick is even more rare. I came across yet another plant called Kinnikinick, and it too is used in a smoking mixture (no surprise). I agree, we may need an article on a smoking mixture, as not all Kinnikinick recipies calls for either Bearberry or Red Osier Dogwood, and what can go into the mixture varies by region as well.

This page is now Kinnikinnick (disambiguation) while the article on the smoking product is Kinnikinnick. CJLippert (talk) 21:43, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
