| - The titles of our Disambiguation pages are ambiguous. Special:ShortPages lists most disambiguation pages before others, because they are short due to their nature. Solution: Renaming Disambiguation pages to include (disambiguation) in the title, (keeping redirects). For instance, redirecting "Credits" to "Credits (disambiguation)". I can't yet think of any downsides to doing this, but I'm going to leave it a while and think about it some more --452 17:55, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

| - The titles of our Disambiguation pages are ambiguous. Special:ShortPages lists most disambiguation pages before others, because they are short due to their nature. Solution: Renaming Disambiguation pages to include (disambiguation) in the title, (keeping redirects). For instance, redirecting "Credits" to "Credits (disambiguation)". I can't yet think of any downsides to doing this, but I'm going to leave it a while and think about it some more --452 17:55, April 25, 2012 (UTC) I checked how wikipedia deals with them, and they say that redirecting "Credits" to "Credits (disambiguation)" is wrong. However, just because wikipedia does it one way doesn't mean we can't do it the other. --452 18:09, April 25, 2012 (UTC) Today, wikia changed how search works. Searching for "rounds square shopping center" will not simply show the disambiguation page, it now shows search results - the first hit is the disambiguation page In the search results, it is not clear that that page is a disambiguation page, as the "this is a disambiguation page" template is not displayed in the search summary. As such, the search results would be more useful if the title shown was "Rounds Square Shopping Center (disambiguation)" --452 00:09, April 27, 2012 (UTC) Also, it would be more convenient for the drop down search suggestions box. So I'm going to go ahead with this. Although I'm considering moving disambiguation pages out of the main namespace altogether, but I'm unsure if it's a good idea. --452 03:39, May 22, 2012 (UTC) No, disambiguation pages should stay in the main namespace so they can be searched. But due to search suggestions, they should be explicitly labelled. --452 15:31, May 24, 2012 (UTC) I'm glad we had this discussion, thanks for the feedback everyone. --452 22:33, June 8, 2012 (UTC)
