China/Chyna
Winhunter,
I disagree with your contention that "disambiguation page is not a page to clear up typing mistakes". One of the wonderful features of Misplaced Pages is that it is user-friendly. Anyone looking for information on the wrestler Chyna who spells the name "China" (and let's face it - anyone who is could) should be able to reach the desired page through disambiguation. That is what the word means, after all. It is obvious that you take a great interest in China, Taiwan, and the like, so I can understand you feeling adverse to the idea of including Chyna, but given the identical pronunciation and the function of a disambiguation page, I don't think exclusion really serves anyone's best interests. I hope, and am sure that, we will be able to come to a satisfactory compromise. --BDD 18:09, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
- In my point of view this must not be the case, otherwise there are so many variations of mistakes for each word and we list them all? This is simply impossible and therefore we should only list the meaning of the word only. --Hunter 23:59, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
