Expanding the article to be about trachonychia in general

[edit]

This article is currently at "Twenty-nail dystrophy". Twenty-nail dystrophy is a type of trachonychia, but trachonychia does not have an article – so Trachonychia is a redirect to this article. It seems like it would make more sense to have the article be about trachonychia and for twenty-nail dystrophy to be discussed within the article as being a type of trachonychia. —BarrelProof (talk) 01:13, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Twenty-nail dystrophyTrachonychia – The article indicates that "twenty-nail dystrophy" is simply a special case of a more general topic known as trachonychia – specifically, the special case in which all twenty nails are involved. There is no article on the general concept of trachonychia, so Trachonychia is currently a redirect to Twenty-nail dystrophy. There doesn't seem to be any reason to have separate articles, since there is no real difference between the two topics other than the number of nails exhibiting the condition. It would therefore make more sense if the article was about the more general topic of trachonychia, and the special case of twenty-nail dystrophy was simply defined within that article about the more general topic. The content of the article is already sufficient to enable this change (with a minor rearrangement of the order of its sentences). BarrelProof (talk) 18:34, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Title spelling doesn't match spelling within article

"Trachonychia" vs. "Trachyonychia". I believe both are acceptable, but we should be consistent one way or the other. 109.157.79.50 (talk) 07:26, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
