Talk:Gramps (disambiguation)

Untitled

edit

This page is presently in dispute.

The Gramps (disambiguation) page was raised in profile by a nomination for Deletion of the article "Gramps" in mid-May of 2021. After extensive (and heated) discussion, a determination was made to KEEP the page in late May.

With no warning nor discussion on 1Jun2021, Clarityfiend moved the Gramps to Gramps_(software). Moving the article was arguably appropriate. (The use of the word 'Gramps' to refer to a relative is far more common than to the software distributed under that name.) However, the lack of notice and the premature change of the REDIRECT to Grandparent was passive-aggressive.

Noting that the Gramps (disambiguation) page was disorderly, I restructured it... categorizing the links and reordering entries based on the volume of internal links pointing to each disambiguation. However, Clarityfiend noted that the good faith edit violated rules about: 1) more than one link per entry, and 2) link in section headers. Rather than disable the extra links, he just reverted the whole page. And chose an arbitrary ordering for the links.

But there was direction in the comment for the revert. So I made another attempt more inline with his direction.

The number of articles pointing at Grandparent exceeds 800. Seems like reasonable choice for the primary page. The categories were expanded. More than 150 wikipedia articles point to the software, 60s for each sports personality, 20s for each musician, none for the fictional characters.

Bkonrad immediately reverted the edit with no explanation. (He also omitted another disambiguation line item for a movie added by BAMaustin but also added a previously unknown one.)

There needs to a reason to the order of items, not mere arbitrary unjustified opinion or contrariness.
