DecapodDecapod (disambiguation) – 'Decapod (disambiguation)' was created for the express purpose of redirecting to 'Decapod'. However, 'Decapod' clearly has a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. 'Decapod' is the common name for the order Decapoda that houses all crabs, all shrimp, all prawns, all lobsters, and all crayfish. There are thousands of articles that fall under Decapoda and whose subjects can be called decapods. I've seen at this point several dozen wikilinks formatted as [[Decapoda|decapod]] because we direct to a disambig instead of a PT. At the bare minimum, even if a PT somehow isn't established, 'Decapod' would point to 'Decapod (disambiguation)', not vice-versa.

Support – Decapoda is definitely the primary topic here. @TheTechnician27: Just a note – if there were instead no primary topic, moving this page to Decapod (disambiguation) would make it WP:MALPLACED. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Jlwoodwa: Appreciate the clarification. I shouldn't have spoken so definitively like that without being more familiar with the subject. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 17:15, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
