Proposal: Rename/Move to "Outline of dentistry and oral health"

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

There are 3 main reasons for the rename:

The article is an outline that is part of Wikipedia's set of outlines, and matches the formatting of that set. See Portal:Contents/Outlines#Health and fitness.
Topics lists for each subject come in pairs, with one topic list in a pair being called "Outline of x" and the other being called "Index of x articles". The new name matches Index of oral health and dental articles.
Lists of basic topics have become obsolete, and deprecated by default. The entire set of "basic topics" lists was renamed to outlines over 2 years ago, because the term "basic" was not supported in any meaningful way. This article got renamed back to the unsupported name, and makes one wonder when you go there why it isn't called an outline like the rest of the pages of this kind.

Done - as there were no objections in over 3 weeks, I've made the move. The Transhumanist 07:05, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
