Merge to CPE edit

Spelling Errors edit

I noticed that the initial author of this article spelled "Pidgin" w/o the "d." This is wrong, so I corrected it. Unfortunately, I can't change the title...is there a way to do that?

The result of the move request was moved to List of English-based pidgins -- Aervanath (talk) 05:19, 9 April 2009 (UTC)Reply


Per Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists)#Naming conventions, lists' titles should normally begin with "List of..."

As this article is a stand-alone list (and is included in Category:Lists of languages) which does not follow this convention, I propose that it be moved to List of English-based pidgins. 58.8.3.66 (talk) 23:33, 3 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Tok Pisin edit

Although Tok Pisin is not a pidgin but a creole (meaning some people speak it as a first language), it is frequently referred to as Pidgin and therefore it should be included in this list under those names (to obviate people like me having to do an unnecessarily complicated search to find it).

Category edit

This might be a silly question since I'm a passerby who doesn't know anything about languages, but why aren't we also copying all of the contents of Category:English-based_pidgins_and_creoles into this article?Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 08:24, 13 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
