Lacewing budgerigar variety
[edit]A search for "Lacewing" in wikipedia takes you straight to the page describing the Lacewing insect. What is the best way of directing people looking for the Lacewing budgerigar variety to the Ino budgerigar mutation page? We could either set up a disambiguation page for Lacewing (how is this done?) or create a Budgerigar varieties page listing the varieties with links to the underlying mutations. Virtually all other variety names have the same problem - the Lacewing is just an example. I prefer the Budgerigar varieties page. Comments? Trevor37 (talk) 08:22, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, doing both would be the best solution. Trevor37 (talk) 09:43, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- Why not create a redirect from Budgerigar varieties (or whatever) to Budgerigar colour genetics and include the info there? A separate list (List of Budgerigar varieties?) is a possibility, though it might mean unnecessarily duplicating some of the information from the genetics article. I've gone ahead and redirected Lacewing budgerigar mutation and Lacewing budgerigar to this article (redirects are cheap - if it's something that you can imagine someone legitimately typing into the search box, then create one). If you're planning on creating a specific lacewing section here, the target of the redirect can be tweaked to automatically jump to it... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 00:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- EDIT: Considering the hatnotes already present at Neuroptera, Lacewing (disambiguation) should probably exist. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(disambiguation_pages) for how to go about that (I need to read up on it myself!) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 01:03, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for setting up the disambiguation page. Looks good. I think I will go ahead with a Budgerigar varieties page. What I have in mind is an alphabetical list, with a very brief introduction with variety-specific information and links to the underlying mutation pages. So Lacewing, for example, would link to both Ino and Cinnamon as equal underlying mutations, but make it clear that most of the information would be found under Ino. Similarly for Dark-eyed Clears, Rainbows, etc. Names of all varieties could be listed, including obsolete ones like Jade, or regional ones like Austral, Silver, etc. I'll watch out for any duplication and try to eliminate it.

- Hey, man. If you think it needs it and you can do it, go right ahead and don't let anyone stop you. ;) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 00:15, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
