See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

[1] @Crouch, Swale: you misunderstand: the redlink needs to be present at the target. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:09, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shhhnotsoloud: MOS:DABRED says "A link to a non-existent article (a "red link") should be included on a disambiguation page only when a linked article (not just other disambiguation pages) also includes that red link" and "To find out if any article uses the red link, click on it, and then click "What links here" on the toolbox on the left side of the page.". It doesn't seem to say that there must be a redlink in the blue linked article but only seems to say that (1) there must be a mainspace link (List of United Kingdom locations: Pe-Pen#Peno-Pens) and the topic be mentioned in the blue link (which Penpol is). Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:19, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Crouch, Swale: I think your interpretation is a stretch. It's clear to me that if a disambiguation page entry contains a redlink and a blue link, that redlink must appear in the article at that blue link. Why wouldn't it. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:32, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why should it matter if the article that has the redlink is the same one as the one that's linked in the description? As far as I know, the requirement for the presence of a redlink anywhere is there so that the decisions around that redlink (to link or not – notability, how exactly to link – naming conventions) are shifted away from editors of dab pages and unto editors of the topics concerned. Given that the editor who has introduced this link is, as far as I can see, within their area of topical expertise, I'd trust them on the notability and naming issues. In such a case it's not even relevant if the redlink is found anywhere at all. – Uanfala (talk) 18:07, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To be quite honest I'm not sure if Penpol merits an article or if it should just be a redirect to Chycoose since even though it is an ONS BUA it does actually look like its part of Chycoose not the other way round but either way its fine as a redirect. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:12, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I created the redirect since it's in bold in the lede (similar to Point, Cornwall). -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:25, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that makes the debate here moot, maybe it merits an article buts its fine for now as a redirect. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:28, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Uanfala: it boils down to MOS:DABMENTION. Don't use a redlink in a disambiguation page entry if it doesn't appear in the article. Simple. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:19, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The point of DABMENTION is for the topic to be covered in the linked article, not the exact literal term that could otherwise serve as the title of the potential article. – Uanfala (talk) 12:55, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
