Talk:Triumvir

I understand where you're coming from, but it makes no sense to point triumvir and triumvirs to different places. Srnec (talk) 23:43, 17 August 2023 (UTC)


 * That's probably true. Cynwolfe (talk) 00:12, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Or what I should say is that rather impetuous series of redirects had to do with how many articles needed to link to an article on the Roman triumvirate. The Roman stuff was making a mess that of the triumvirate article, which I think was originally just about the Roman triumviri and accumulated random stuff about three-man rule.

 * Sorry again, as I was off to dinner there. My reasoning (hasty and incorrect as it may have been) was that the pages linking to triumvirs, plural, seemed to be contexts where "the triumvirs" referred to one or the other of the first triumvirate and second triumvirate. Whereas triumvir, singular, showed something more like the full range of the main article triumvirate. I had a moment of horror when I saw the previous chaos at triumvirate, with so many large and spurious graphics at war amongst themselves so that it was simply not readable, before I spun off the Roman section, since I needed to link and would not send diners to a restaurant that messy. But just as my link needed to go to the second triumvirate anyway, and not the general article, the more intelligent thing to do would be to go through all the links meaning "the triumvirs" and send the reader to the right political trio. Which I'm a bit too  fatigued at present to tackle. Cynwolfe (talk) 01:00, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
