The result of the move request was: moved to Wop (disambiguation) and WOP redirected there. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:58, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]



WOP (disambiguation)WOP – While it makes sense that the slur "Wop" is the primary topic for the word's regular capitalization, I don't believe the all-caps "WOP" should redirect to the slur. It would be more helpful for the disambiguation page to occupy the all-caps name of WOP, with the slur's page remaining where it is. When people link to (or go to the page of) "WOP" in all-caps, they're presumably looking for a page where it's either an acronym or typically written in all-caps. The slur (commonly used in regular lowercase) only takes up a fraction of that. EDIT: I'd also be down for an alternate move to Wop (disambiguation), but having "WOP" retarget to the disambiguation page. Paintspot Infez (talk) 17:57, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to Wop (disambiguation) per WP:DABNAME ("A word is preferred to an abbreviation, for example Arm (disambiguation) over ARM") and since the page covers both word uses (Wop (song) and Wop May) and acronym uses. However, support retargeting WOP to the disambiguation page per the nominator's rationale. See also WP:DIFFCAPS and all the other similar redirects like COW, WHIP, GREEN, BIRD, etc. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 02:41, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
