Big O
has reverted three times the removal of a piped link to a page that does not mention the dab title on Big O (disambiguation). Additional opinions from editors familiar with our disambiguation guidelines would be helpful. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Name of DAB for Ballantyne
I think that Ballantyne needs to have a DAB and separate name page... should the current one become a surname page and the others go into a new DAB called Ballantyne (disambiguation), or the names go into a surname page titled Ballantyne (name)/(surname)?

 * Generally, I dont think standalone name pages meet WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. —Bagumba (talk) 09:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks . So do you mean make Ballantyne the DAB, and create Ballantyne (name) as a set index page? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:45, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Laterthanyouthink: Per WP:APOTITLE, make it Ballantyne (surname). Regards. —Bagumba (talk) 07:55, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Done (although it took me twice as long as it should because I managed to wipe out basically the whole article part after completion, by mistake!). Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:29, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

intentional links of redirects to dab pages
Hi folks- I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I got great help here for my previous query on the St Sophia stuff, so I figured I'd try again (I'm not quite sure of the distinction between this talk page and Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation).

京 is the Han character meaning "capital", and is also a disambiguation page, 京, since the character shows up in a number of city names. In the "See Also" at the bottom, there are a few further related topics. One of these links is to 西京, which is itself a redirect to the disambiguation page Western Capital. Right now, the link shows up as a "bad" link to a disambiguation page.

The usual way to make it clear that something is an intentional dab link is to append a "(disambiguation)" to it. However, since 西京 is a redirect, not a disambiguation page in itself, that would not seem to work? (or at least the new redirect 西京 (disambiguation) would need to be created). I guess that we could just link Western Capital (disambiguation) directly, but I like the symmetry of linking the characters (as in 東京 (disambiguation), another entry in the see also), to make it clear why it is being listed. The characters could be listed after the link, though? Or is this a case that could be an exception to piping links on a dab page?

Thanks for any assistance/contributions! Cleancutkid (talk) 22:47, 6 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Just make the redirect 西京 (disambiguation). — swpb T&#8201;•&#8201;beyond&#8201;•&#8201;mutual 14:38, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅. Cheers! BD2412  T 15:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks @BD2412, @swpb - that felt like the best approach to me, but I'm still new enough to this that I wanted to double-check. Cleancutkid (talk) 18:02, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

A question about music single titles
Hi, everyone. Am I wrong here? Because consistency wise for songs released as singles, every other DAB page I've looked at lists the release year of the single, and not the associated album. QuestFour (talk) 07:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * , this is probably not the best venue for questions about titles of music singles. Have you tried WT:WikiProject Music? I'm sure they can help. Mathglot (talk) 03:25, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
