Talk:Wolves

Disambiguation
I've made this a disambiguation page. I typed "Wolves" to save time typing out the full rather long name of the club, and if you do a search for "Wolves" on google UK, the top four items are all about the football club. This only applies to Wolves, not to "Wolf". Postlebury 11:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation
The disambiguation page Wolf (disambiguation) specifically and explicitly disambiguates the word "Wolves". There are animals other than the Grey Wolf which are called wolves, and, as noted above, the word may refer to things other than animals.

This page should therefore redirect to Wolf (disambiguation). Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:13, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Just there is a primary topic for the singular term, unless there is substantive evidence to the contrary, it is reasonable to assume it is the primary topic for the plural as well. older ≠ wiser 13:29, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Page should stay a redirect to Grey wolf, just as Wolf does. It is not just an assumption, "wolf" is the primary topic of wolves. See, for example, the first fifty entries in Google books. One must not confuse recency with primacy. --Bejnar (talk) 03:46, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Proposal to convert this to a disambiguation page
When someone looking for one of the sports clubs known as "Wolves", enters "Wolves" in the Wikipedia search box, they wouldn't really expect to be taken to "Wolf (disambiguation)", let alone Gray wolf, as such club and team names are never expressed in the singular. Given that most hits on this page are probably from readers looking for Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., I propose that this page be restored as a disambiguation page dedicated to articles about subjects which are specifically known by the plural term, such as Wolves. An entry for Wolves - plural of wolf would adequately cover those who genuinely though they would find wolf, gray or otherwise. Carlton Card (talk) 22:05, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * In fact, after looking at the related articles, I propose that "Wolves" be redirected directly to Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., with the Wolves (disambiguation) page being used as the disambiguation page for the plural term, rather than being redirected to Wolf (disambiguation).

 * I completely disagree. If I search for wolves, I expect to end up at the main topic, which is wolf. FunkMonk (talk) 04:06, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I can understand that "Gray Wolf" might well be the main topic for "Wolf", but not why it is also considered the main topic for "Wolves". "Wolves" has an extra set of uses which "Wolf" does not have - the sports clubs and teams, and especially Wolverhampton Wanderers. How is the main article derived?

 * Look at precedents. Birds, lions, horses, etc. FunkMonk (talk) 02:45, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I think this should remain a redirect to the primary topic. Examine What links here and consider how very few of these intend anything other than the primary topic. older ≠ wiser 02:42, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
