I personally would merge the two dabs. The difference between John and Johns in this context is liable not to be observed all the time. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:00, 11 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
We should not merge the two dabs for exactly the reason you stated: The difference between John and Johns in this context is liable not to be observed all the time. Keeping them on different pages helps draw attention to the small difference. Somebody typing in a search will not be likely to add or subtract an S. When they land on the dab page, they can find what they want quickly; they're not going to click on "St. Johns" by accident when it's "St. John" they want. — Gorthian (talk) 10:34, 11 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Pppery and Andy M. Wang: I forgot to add that I cleaned up both St. John Township (disambiguation) (this page) and St. Johns Township; the first now has four blue links and the second has six. — Gorthian (talk) 10:57, 11 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
