== redirect? ==

I was wondering if it would be appropriate to redirect [[charts]] to [[Billboard Hot 100]]; as generally when people speak of "the charts" they are almost always referring to musical popularity, as opposed to oceanography. What do you think? [[User:Rhymeless|Rhymeless]] 05:17, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

:I would say that a [[Wikipedia:disambiguation|disambiguation]] page is probably more helpful.  [[User:Moink|moink]] 05:18, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

::I'd also note that links to [[charts]] would be few and far between, since people will presume that [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (pluralization)]] has been followed - and yes, you can have one [[chart]] in the popularity sense. If anything, [[charts]] should redirect to [[chart]] (in case of "accidental linking") and the latter be tidied up into a more standard disambiguation page - including links to ''both'' [[Billboard Hot 100]] ''and'' [[UK Top 40]] (and others?), which was the first thing that came into my head as wrong with your proposed redirect. Although, maybe that will need to be one layer deeper, since there may be quite a number of them - a page such as [[Music chart]], perhaps? Sorry to make things so much more complex - that's the problem with a project the size of this, I guess. - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] 10:19, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
