Merger proposal
editThis page contains the section First-mover advantage#Disadvantages of being a first mover. First-mover disadvantage redirects to this section.
However, there exists also the (somewhat awkwardly-named) page Law of the handicap of a head start, which also discusses a disadvantage of being a first mover.
I propose merging both First-mover advantage#Disadvantages of being a first mover and Law of the handicap of a head start into First-mover disadvantage.

- Also, this is my first time proposing a merge on Wikipedia. Please let me know if I've done anything wrong :)

- It looks like First-mover disadvantage is a long-standing redirect to the relevant section on First-mover advantage. I agree that that section, First-mover advantage#Disadvantages of being a first mover has some good content that would be better placed on the dedicated page Law of the handicap of a head start. That would also help the rather unbalanced structure on First-mover advantage, where the disadvantage section is large. The move would be consistent with WP:SUMMARY, assuming that we left behind a simple summary with a template:main. Procedurally, I think that this could be done with template:copied.
