Talk:TLDR

Nothing to disambiguate
Much as I hate to lose any link to "too long; didn't read", I don't see any reason for this particular page to exist. At this point, it has only two entries, and one of those is a misconstructed pointer to Wiktionary, which should be replaced with wiktionary.

That leaves us only one entry, and that one is of dubious validity. But, even if it's valid, since there's only the one, this dab page should be replaced by a redirect to top-level domain.

Either way, the various redirects associated with the concept of "too long; didn't read", such as tl;dr, should be deleted, as there's nothing I can see in the main namespace that they can point to.--NapoliRoma (talk) 07:12, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Pondering more--a specific proposal:
 * 1) Make this page (and tldr) a redirect to top-level domain
 * 2) Add a hatnote to that page, referring to Too long; didn't read
 * 3) Remove these redirects:
 * Too Long To Read
 * Too long, didn't read
 * TL;DR
 * Tl;dr‎

 * I agree, but I think the hatnote should also link to wikt:TLDR. TL;DR and Tl;dr‎ could just be linked to Wiktionary using the wi template.  I don't think the others are necessary – they wouldn't be useful as dictionary definitions, so they should probably be deleted. — Snigbrook  19:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Disagree., The TLDR tl;dr Too long didn't read etc meanings are much more common that top level domain register and having them as hatnotes in that entry would just be wrong. I understand the tl;dr entry is under the Wikipedia namespace, perhaps the cleanest fix is to have another version under the normal space as well rather than it being in the dictionary and wp namespaces being used to make things messed up.

 * OK, that makes sense. Normally, we'd want to get rid of a two-entry dab page, but having it here seems to be the most useful way to go for the reader.--NapoliRoma (talk) 15:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Came here with the exact sentiment as NapoliRoma above and see that this has been pointed out several months ago with nothing happening since. I'll try to make it a tad more useful. --Xeeron (talk) 11:17, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
