Move "Prohibition" to "Prohibition of alcohol"?
editThe following is copied from Talk:Prohibition:
Maybe this one has been discussed before, I can not quite believe that prohibition of, specifically, alcohol, is the subject of an article under, simply, Prohibition
Maybe it is not so strange to someone whose history is more US than my own
Seems to me the article should be at Prohibition of alcohol, and Prohibition should be a redirect to Prohibitionism (or vice versa)

This isn't about a dictionary definition, but about the specific term definition of Prohibition which is generally used in relation to alcohol. And yes it has been discussed before, and proposed many times, but each time it's decided to leave it at Prohibition. See the archives for the previous discussions. If after reading you still think there is a case, by all means start up a discussion. Canterbury Tail talk 15:19, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
So
I have to remember to use, say, [[Prohibitionism|prohibition]]-based drug control laws rather than [[prohibition]]-based drug control laws?
Seems crazy to me
If we completely disregard dictionary definitions in article titles then getting articles to relate to each other in any meaninful fashion can be rather difficult
Wikipedia turns into more of a jumble than a coherent encyclopaedia

The problem is Prohibition as a term is very commonly used on its own, not just in the US but worldwide, to refer more specifically to the prohibition of alcohol. There is prohibition of other substances and items yes, but when used on its own it is generally academically being used to refer to alcohol without further qualifiers.

Prohibitionism (Philosophy of Language)
editThere should be made a distinction between this concept of prohibitionism and the one put forward by Anderson & Lepore in regards to an account of slur terms and semantic content:
