Not a dab page

Explaining my reversion to an earlier version of the article page: The reference Z. Naturforsch. can refer to one of the three journals it became, but it can also be a reference to the original, single journal that existing in 1946 before the parts were created. If a reference was to Z. Naturforsch. in 1946 and the page were a dab page, then it would direct them off to the A, B, or C journals but none of these would be what was meant. It is unfortunate that the A, B, and C journals are often referenced as something like Z. Naturforsch. (1947) 2b rather than as Z. Naturforsch. B (1947) 2, but that's a reality we have to accept and accommodate. So, the situation is that this article needs to serve a dab function but also cover the journal as it existed in 1946. My way may not be right, or even optimal, and I'm happy to discuss and look at alternatives, but a stand-alone dab page seems to me to be the wrong choice.
