The result of the move request was move to Polynesian Aervanath (talk) 07:17, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I checked the history, and it appears that the original move was made by User:Saintrain. What was the rationale for this move?Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 05:08, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the "what links here", and it appears that many of the links were from this template, which is clearly referring to "Polynesia" (as all the other links were directly to the region rather than the adjective, except for in the case of some minority indigenous cultures). I changed the link to Polynesia. Strangely though, Bantu peoples is still on the list, even though it (and probably others) don't link to "Polynesian" anymore.

That's just because the page Bantu peoples hadn't been saved since the template was updated. I made a null edit there, and now it's off the list. -GTBacchus(talk) 01:54, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
However, that template is only on 10 pages, so there are still over 300 incoming links that it would be good to disambiguate. -GTBacchus(talk) 01:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There was also a second template that was on a number of pages that I changed. I also changed some other pages, interestingly most of the links to "Polynesian" seem to be referring to the ethnic group. But yes, there is still a large number that needs to be disambiguated.Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 05:29, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
