Odd job → Odd Job – "Odd job" should be a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to temporary work as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:34, 16 December 2019 (UTC)—Relisted. – Ammarpad (talk) 16:23, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Odd job (disambiguation). Some are lowercase. Hyperbolick (talk) 00:22, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But there is nothing on the page that is actually "odd job" with the space. It's either "Oddjob(s)" or "Odd Job(s)". There are more of the latter than the former._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 02:41, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree that an odd job is a match to temporary work. An odd job is a once-off job, while "temporary" means continuing over a limited timespace. Much temporary work is administrative and labour support and is not "odd". Odd jobs are typically domestic, while temporary work is typical low-level employment in a business. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:38, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The link to Handyman is arguably better than the link to Temporary work. The Wiktionary box is probably the best thing for anyone not wanting any of the entertainment topics, and the Wiktionary box works best the DAB page. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:40, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as this would violate WP:LOWERCASE for no valid reason. — kashmīrī ^TALK 23:27, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
