Talk:Otto (disambiguation)

About disambiguation pages

The point of a disambiguation page is not to list every possible definition or use of a particular word in the English language; disambiguation pages are meant to assist a Wikipedia user in finding an existing page whose topic is (or could be) the actual word used in their search query.

Before adding a topic to this page, ask yourself:

• If you were looking for this topic on Wikipedia, would you simply and only type "otto" as your search word?
• Are there people who might refer to your topic by only using the word "otto"?

Please see Wikipedia:Disambiguation and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) for more info.

Edits to page on Mar 31, 2008

Having said that, these are the edits I made to this page:

• Removed any red-links or references to topics which do not have articles of their own and lack coverage elsewhere in Wikipedia
• Removed link to 8 (number), which was added due to the fact that "otto" is the italian word for "eight". See: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Foreign languages.
• Removed Otto's Pub & Brewery and added Otto's disambiguation page to "See also" section
• Removed Otto Octavius because although this character's first name is "Otto", he is not a character who is known simply by his first name; an individual searching for this character would likely type his full name or "Dr. Octopus"
  • I did however leave Otto Mann since this is a character who is mainly known my his first name. (I am an avid watcher of The Simpsons and I didn't even know he had a last name!)

Certainly if anyone disagrees with anything I've removed they can feel free to place them back on this page.Marchije (talk) 15:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
