Move to "Southern Cross (disambiguation)" edit

I think we should move Southern Cross to Southern Cross (disambiguation) and move Crux to Southern Cross. If there are no objections in a week I will do it myself.

My rationale is that it is in keeping with English Wikipedia policy to use the common English name as the name of the article. I have a started a discussion about this on Talk:Crux. If we could keep the discussion in one place it would be good.

Crosby Stills Nash "Southern Cross" edit

I tried adding a link to the song page Southern Cross (Song) but it is worded awkwardly. Is there a consistent way of doing this? Anyway, the stub of Southern Cross (Song) is meager but I'll work on it more this upcoming week. --Jpawloski 04:25, 29 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

There's also a Southern Cross (song) which is completely different, and not on the disambig page. Does this violate some wiki policy, song vs Song? If so, can we rename the CSN one to Southern Cross (song CSN) or something? Anyone know how to do that? Simon12 21:55, 10 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi guys, I'm fixing these up now - using the names Southern Cross (folk song) and Southern Cross (Crosby, Stills and Nash song). -- Chuq 23:15, 10 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Are you fixing the pages the links point to?Simon12 23:19, 10 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yep, done - I've also redirected the (song) and (Song) pages to the disambig page. -- Chuq 23:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, you did in 10 minutes what would have taken me 2 hours!Simon12 23:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

asterism? edit

asterism seems like an unusual term to use in a disambiguation page (rare term users are unlikely to be familiar with). We do have a wiki page for it asterism, so I tried converting the term to a link, but that was reverted. Should we just remove the term altogether then?

It's fine where it is. It's linked from the lead of Crux, which is the most common thing people are looking for. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 01:35, 6 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
I still think asterism should be a prominent clickable link here. Mathiastck (talk) 21:45, 1 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
