Should this article be renamed?

[edit]

This article was created a some years before User_talk:Kotbot began creating entries for every Piaski village in Poland. There are now at least 50 entries in Piaski (disambiguation). There are also pre-existing (and newer) links from other articles to Piaski, plain and simple. Some of these link here correctly, others do not, but should link to one of the 50 other choices. My point is this - it is not possible (at least, I don't think so) to unambiguously indicate that, yes, the link has been checked and links here correctly. See, for example, Karl Fiehler.

I propose a renaming of this article to Piaski, Świdnik County. The existing links could then be tidied up to point to the correct page, as far as possible. Unresolvable ones would go to the disambiguation page. Then, plain Piaski would also link to the disambiguation page. Jan1nad (talk) 21:31, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Generally (for articles about Poland at least), towns are considered primary with respect to villages, unless there is a particularly large or significant village. (If you want a method of indicating that a link has been checked, then set up a redirect, such as Piaski (town) or Piaski, Świdnik County, and convert the checked links to that.) But if you think the combined number of readers looking for any of the 50 villages is now likely to outweigh the number looking for the town, then sure, go ahead and move it (but that would mean checking all the existing links before moving the disambiguation page to here).--Kotniski (talk) 08:20, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the comment, it's helpful and I agree with it to a large extent, and did originally consider doing just that. My worry relates to bots coming along later and short-circuiting redirected links. I am quite happy to sort out existing links where necessary. Jan1nad (talk) 08:44, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again for the pointers; on further consideration I agree with you fully and withdraw my suggestion. Jan1nad (talk) 13:22, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Piaski (disambiguation) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 12:19, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
