Merge proposal

[edit ]

I propose merging the content of PE into Pe. I don't see much of a reason for these two DAB pages to be split. GilaMonster536 (talk) 04:10, 27 March 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

They're both pretty long. If we merge them, they'll be an even longer list. The idea of WP:D is to make navigation more efficient, and it's hard to see how lengthening lists would do that.

I think it would more sense if we just removed the acronyms from the "Pe" list, and added a hatnote for "PE" as well as the existing see also entry. That way, anyone who looks up "pe" (which Mediawiki does not distinguish from "Pe") could more quickly get to the all-uppercase version as well, and read a shorter list when there. --Joy (talk) 05:47, 21 April 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I've removed all the "PE" entries on Pe. Readers wanting an article titled "Pe" would have to read an inconveniently long list with only a few topics titled "Pe", so I oppose the merge. Sign² (talk) 17:28, 16 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm starting to think that Pe should be merged into PE, considering that the latter is much longer. GilaMonster536 (talk) 21:37, 21 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm not so sure about my oppose now, I think this is the only two-letter acronym that has seperate DABs. Sign² (talk) 21:57, 21 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

Okay there's also Wu and WU Sign² (talk) 22:05, 21 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

Using some code I've found the full list of two-letter combinations with separate disambiguation pages:

AK and Ak
JY and Jy
PE and Pe
WU and Wu
XI and Xi

Jy definitely should be redirected to JY. XI is short enough to be merged into Xi. WU, Pe, and Ak are all long enough that I'm not sure about merging them. but not completely opposed to it either. Sign² (talk) 22:32, 21 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

This is pretty arbitrary - we don't actually know at what point the length becomes an issue for readers.

I previously checked something similar with three-letter combinations, cf. Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation/Archive 56#WP:DABCOMBINE not actually with organic consensus in the acronym space. --Joy (talk) 08:28, 22 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
