Talk:Volcanic complex

"Volcanic complex" is not used just for volcanic groups. Volcanoguy 21:45, 15 June 2021‎ (UTC)

Article Complex volcano does not indicate that "Volcanic complex" is used to mean Complex volcano. --Shhhnotsoloud 13:24, 19 June 2021‎ (UTC)

Complex volcano and Volcanic group are two list-like articles. I'm struggling to see the difference. Each article acknowledges the other in the See also section, but the leads really muddy the distinction with the alt names that completely overlap. Unless there really is a clear difference (note that the latter has no sources), shouldn't they be merged. MB 17:58, 19 June 2021 (UTC)


 * User:MB to be honest, the volcanic group article wrongly assumes that "volcanic group" and "volcanic complex" are synonymous. Some volcanic groups may be considered volcanic complexes but that is not always the case. A complex volcano may be considered a type of volcanic group. If you look at the revision history of volcanic complex you will see it originally redirected to complex volcano. The redirect was then changed without discussion.

Redirect back to the original target since "volcanic group" and "volcanic complex" are not synonymous. --Volcanoguy 19:58, 22 June 2021 (UTC)


 * It seems to me that any edit warring between targets Complex volcano and Volcano group is fruitless. The redirect currently points to Complex volcano; the hatnote at Complex volcano diverts anyone looking for the group to the sought target. --Bejnar (talk) 16:29, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
