• Bray (disambiguation) → Bray
• Bray → Bray, County Wicklow

– While this may be the 9th largest in the country, it doesn't appear to be primary globally, Newport is a DAB despite it being the 3rd largest in Wales. In views [[1]] for titles qualified with brackets/commas the Irish one gets more views than others combined, especially when taking into account views for Bray Wanderers F.C. however the call of a donkey probably also has some importance.

• Weak support The page view stats don't tell us whether people arriving at Bray found what they were expecting or if they then had to move on to one of the others. Personally, given the The Vicar of Bray and the Michelin-starred restaurants, I'd expect to be at Bray, Berkshire. The disambiguation page doesn't get a lot of views but the search box suggestions probably help people to get where they want to be without going there. Googling Bray gives me an 'infobox' for the one in Berkshire but that may be based on my location which is not far away, currently.--Cavrdg (talk) 09:39, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Resulting DAB links from this move

I understand a lot of DAB links were created by this move, quite a few have been resolved earlier. I've just resolved links in about 9 articles that fairly obviously referred to Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. About 9 articles remain linking to the Bray DAB page and I am reasonably minded most or all of these refer to a Bray in a different location, typically France; and it is likely these previously incorrectly linked at Bray when that page referred to the settlement in Ireland.Djm-leighpark (talk) 18:40, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

I'd point out that about 15 refereed to Bray, Berkshire even though most were indeed for Ireland. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:37, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
