Primary meaning

edit

Contingency and Contingent redirect to Contingency (philosophy), but is this really the primary meaning? I'd suggest we redirect them here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 01:46, 26 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Reverted. Per WP:MOSDAB, all incoming links must be fixed before such a change to a redirect with incoming links can be made. Also, per WP:MALPLACED, a "Foo" title can not redirect to a "Foo (disambiguation)" title because it creates the false appearance that there is a primary topic requiring the disambiguation page to be at the latter title. The proper course of action is to initiate a WP:RM discussion to move the disambiguated title, and a WP:RFD discussion for the other redirect, and to notify the disambiguation project of both discussions. bd2412 T 04:23, 23 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
I suppose you're right about the incoming links, but there are so many that this will have to be done by someone with automation support, or a higher boredom threshold than me. – Smyth\talk 11:07, 23 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
