[edit] Disambiguate vs redirect

Until Sept 11, 2005, "FEMA" redirected to Federal Emergency Management Agency of the United States. Today, User:ManuBhardwaj made "FEMA" into a disambiguation page, with two items: "Federal Emergency Management Agency of the United States" and "The Foreign Exchange Management Act of 1999, India". The latter article does not exist as of this moment.

It may well be that the Indian FEMA is more important (in the sense of: affecting the lives of more people) than the US-FEMA. However, within Wikipedia, most links pointing to FEMA refer to the American one (given that the article about the Indian one does not exist yet). Who is going to change all these links? (See Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Fixing_links_to_disambiguated_topics.)

I think a better solution is to have FEMA redirect to the US-American FEMA, and to include a message {{Redirect|FEMA}}on top of that page. -- Aleph4 11:26, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
