Hegira (disambiguation) → Hijra – The spelling Hijra transliterates both Arabic: هِجْرَة and Urdu/Hindi: हिजड़ा. Until February 2017, a disambiguation page was there. The current situation, in which Hijra redirects to Hegira (disambiguation) and various things called hijra appear near the bottom of the page, is confusing for people looking for that spelling. See more discussion at Talk:Hijra#Hijra (Islam) is surely primary by a mile. Cnilep (talk) 00:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Bkonrad, Florian Blaschke, and Korny O'Near: Pinging per comments on the other talk page. Cnilep (talk) 00:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose, with counter-proposal. Cnilep - thanks for pinging me. I was the one who merged the two disambiguation pages into one (this one) in February. I still think that was the right thing to do, given that those two pages were more or less identical. But I didn't realize, until you brought it up, that Hijra (South Asia) is a major topic on its own. (There's one other more-or-less exact match for "hijra", which is the NGO HIJRA, but it seems to be rather obscure.) A Google search on "hijra" would seem to indicate that the transgender group is, in fact, the dominant meaning for this exact spelling - it's not until the 3rd page of results that the Islamic meaning of the term shows up. ("Hijrah" seems to be the much more common spelling for that one.) So what I propose is to keep this page where it is, but move Hijra (South Asia) to just Hijra - with disambiguation links at the top of the article to Hegira, HIJRA and Hegira (disambiguation).

- That seems like a reasonable solution; I'd like to see what other editors think. Cnilep (talk) 11:43, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
- Support counter-proposal I've thought of a solution like that myself, actually. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 16:50, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Hegira (disambiguation) → Hijra (disambiguation) – The term "Hegira" does not need any disambiguation, there is only one meaning of it. It is the term "Hijra" that needs disambiguation which becomes immediately clear when looking at the content of the page. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:27, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
- The correct scholarly transcription of Arabic هِجْرَة is Hijra. The spelling "Hegira" is a European Latinization that arose in pre-modern times when many more people than now thought in Latin. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:12, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Deny DPL bot : WP:BRD discussion

DPL bot attached a big notice (in main space) to say that this article has >30 ambiguous incoming links. I checked. All those links are from However, R'n'B reverted that addition with the edit note per Template:Bots/doc, not the way to address a perceived issue. First, bots/doc says that {{bots|deny=}} is the way to keep an unwanted bot away; no alternative is suggested that I can see. Second, it is not just a matter of perception: this is a high-profile disambig article and should not be cluttered with pettifogging administrative notices that are neither necessary or resolvable. Have I got it wrong? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:30, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Adding (disambiguation) to the title per norms
[edit]I would propose editing the title of this page or migrating to a new page called Hijra (disambiguation) to avoid confusion with the Hijrah page. Darling58 (talk) 14:27, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- That's not what the article title guidelines state. The "(disambiguation)" suffix is required only when there is a primary topic with the same title. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 15:43, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
