Why the qualifier "(meteorite)"? Is there confusion with just "Strewn field"?[edit]

Seems to me that the redirect at Category:Strewn field that points here should be the actual category while this page should (at least now after it's been created) be a redirect. Why the disambig? Per Wikipedia:Category names and its superior guideline Wikipedia:Article titles (in particular the subsections WP:NAMINGCRITERIA and WP:QUALIFIER) it seems like this is against recommended guildlines. I intend to change it but will wait for more comments. Jason Quinn (talk) 12:15, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Talking to myself, on reflection I suppose the intenion here is too "future proof" the category. There could in theory be other kinds of "strewn fields". For example, the debris field from an aircrash could just have easily been called a strewn field as well. (But it isn't.) Unless there's another actual usage for "strewn field", however, our naming guidelines suggest it should be the shortest needed name. Jason Quinn (talk) 13:05, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
