MV Morion

The main information about MV Morion is to be found at the relevant list of Empire ships, not on the CHANT (ship type) page. User:Rogerb67 states that linking the ship's name to the list is against MOS:DAB. My opinion is that this is a case where WP:IAR should apply. Comments please.

I do not say that linking to the list is against MOS:DAB. I support linking to the list; however I would like the link to come from suitable text within the link, as described in the manual of style and per my edits [1] and [2]. There are thousands of cases precisely like this one across all DAB pages, and the way to deal with them is clearly stated in MOS:DAB#Items appearing within other articles. --Rogerb67 (talk) 05:39, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of the link is the ship, which is quite correctly redirected to the appropriate article. IMO, that is what should be wikilinked, not the destination article with a piped link. Mjroots (talk) 10:31, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The use of unpiped dab-phrase-matching redirects is encouraged in the guidelines as well. I used piping anyway to properly format the link, also per the style guide. -- JHunterJ (talk) 14:13, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the link as it currently is does satisfy MOS:DAB (it was never like this before), although from my point of view the linked section appears unlikely to ever have its own article; as this the reason stated for using a redirect, I still prefer my version. I will not change it however and will happily consider the matter closed. --Rogerb67 (talk) 23:11, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
