Talk:Medieval

This article is correct
It is not merely about the term, any more than Middle Ages is about that term. Please do not break it. --216.237.179.238 18:00, 7 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Medieval needs to point to Middle Ages. See the "What links here" page. The most common usage is in reference to the Middle Ages. In any case this article is questionable as a dictionary definition (and factually incorrect). --Stbalbach 18:06, 7 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Medieval and middle ages are synonomous, they mean the same thing and thus need to point to the same article. Even if you created a bot to "fix", youd have to re-run that bot every month or so because there are many new links being made -- it is most widely known in relation to the Middle Ages and thus should point there, users shouldnt have to click through twice to get where they first intended. For historiography/etymology of the term, a separate article may be justified, although a good case can be made to keep all in a single article, we'll see how it develops. There will always be different views on this, thats why consensus is better than a vote, if it comes to that, and loged in your account instead of anon has more weight. --Stbalbach 18:48, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
