General[edit]

I added an explanation of the term "worms" in animal infestation, seeing as that is what I was looking for when I came to this page. It could also be found by following he first entry, "plural of worm." My wording could probably stand to be improved. I think that disambiguation pages should probably have short entries, but I couldn't think of a way to make the sentence shorter without hindering comprehension.

Redirect target[edit]

The city of Worms (Germany) is arguably the primary meaning of Worms in English, so this should redirect to the DAB at least. When I came here there wasn't even a hatnote at Worm [1] relating to this redirect [2], just one for the singular Worm pointing to the DAB.

There are several possible solutions. A redirect to the DAB seems the best to me and to at least two previous editors [3] [4], so I think that's a rough consensus.

But the situation with the previous redirect, and no explicit hatnote for the plural case, is not IMO one of the acceptable solutions. Andrewa (talk) 02:02, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
