Zoo
I've reverted your changes (again) to Zoo (disambiguation). Disambiguation pages serve a different purpose. They should not mislead, but they should be streamlined for speed. Thus reduction of bluelinks and an order conducive to providing a quick path for most users (i.e. not alphabetical). When I have time I can come back and break the page up into groupings - that would problem improve things. Please see the Disambiguation page manual of style - my changes are consistent with it.

 * Actually, now that I look closer, I see the order is rather random. It should be by likely search target.  Will be back for that. . .  (John User:Jwy talk) 16:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It will take me a while to ponder that. Thanks for the explanation.  ♦ Alice in Wikiland ♦  10:17, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I've broken the page into sections. As you ponder, try to think of the experience of several different people, each searching for a different "zoo" article and see how this page might help them.  (John User:Jwy talk) 17:21, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think that both your analysis and action were correct; as you said in your edit summary: "Please see WP:MOSDAB. Speed of navigation is the key concern on a dab page. Many coming through the page won't look twice at entries other than the entry they want."
 * However, I am a bit puzzled at you promoting
 * Zoo (Anthrocon), an informal meeting place at the Anthrocon convention
 * and
 * Zoo is a common informal abbreviation for zoophile
 * to top of the list. Surely those will both be relatively rare topics being looked for on Wikipedia, John?  ♦ Alice in Wikiland ♦  19:01, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
