Allied Forces (disambiguation) → Allied Forces – Just as with Allied Powers, it's difficult to imagine readers using the search phrase "allied forces" to look for information on alliances in general. The real question is – and that's why I'm requesting help from the community – whether to retarget the two redirects Allied Forces and Allied forces to the article Allies of World War II matching the intended meaning of the dozen or so incoming links, or to play it safe and move the dab page over the primary title. – Uanfala (talk) 02:58, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Since "Allied Forces" is essentially a WP:INCDAB between various military alliances, I don't quite think we can make it a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, but I would not object to that either. I note that The Allies also redirects to Alliance and I think should redirect to here. 62.165.198.73 (talk) 04:20, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I've fixed the incoming links: one out of the "dozen or so" was actually intended for the Multi-National Force – Iraq. In doing so, I noticed that Coalition force, Coalition forces and Coalition Forces each has a different target. 62.165.198.73 (talk) 04:38, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:DIFFCAPS, we could leave the lower case as is. Crouch, Swale (talk) 04:55, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

True, but to add salt to the fire Allied Force targets NATO bombing of Yugoslavia (as does Operation Allied Force), so I wonder if the combinations of diffcaps and different singular/plural might be too much? (Allied force is red.) 62.165.198.73 (talk) 12:08, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merges and splits

Just pings to MB, who may not have been aware of the above discussion when turning Allied forces into a separate dab, and to Colin M, who may not have been aware of it when merging the two pages. – Uanfala (talk) 15:52, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
