Which part to link?

Linking the album and not the band? Explain, pls. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 16:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

IMHO we must be careful that the links we provide actually lead to a "target article" that either is titled as the term in question (in this case "It Can't Happen Here") or, failing that, mentions the term; so far as I could tell the track is not mentioned in the band's page but only on the article for the album.

Problems with this page

edit

I have difficulty seeing that this page is "correct" at this version for the following reasons:

  • First the choice of primary topic ... whilst technically correct (it is the article at the base name), I wonder if it is significantly more likely to be the target than the song by Rainbow (no article) or the novel by Lewis (slightly different name) which have very similar names.
  • Second, this is a dab page with only two entries (and one of those has no article) so why does it exist?
  • Third (which would solve the second), I think at least the first two entries in "See also" should be in the main body of the page because they are quite likely to be the target article.

I'll weigh in after others have had a chance to do so, as my opinions are fairly well-understood. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 19:52, 21 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
