Talk:Dog show (disambiguation)

Huge list of Title Abbreviations

I found it here : http://www.rottweiler.net/forums/general-info/36636-title-abbreviations-exhaustive-list.html

Please don't delete this. My computer To-Do List program is on the fritz and this was the best alternative I could come up with.

I plan to make a Wiki page (or add to existing ones) about dog show terms and titles, including the different types of shows (agility, field, herding, flyball, conformation, coursing, terrier, hunting, etc.,) as part of a dog show title and term page.

Naming & scope problem

We have a multi-layered article titles and scope issue here.

• This WP:DAB page is Dog show.
• Its very first entry says it is the most common meaning; i.e., it is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.
• Ergo, this DAB page should be at Dog show (disambiguation), with Dog show redirecting to that primary topic.
• However, the primary-topic article is at Conformation show, undisambiguated. But that term pertains to all conformation shows (cat, horse, etc.), not just dogs.

It seems to me that the following needs to happen:

1. This DAB page should move to Dog show (disambiguation)
2. The present Conformation show article should move to Dog show, with a {{About|dog conformation shows|other types of dog shows|Dog show (disambiguation)}} hatnote.
3. A DAB or WP:DABCONCEPT page should be created at Conformation show, pointing to all the dog and non-dog articles about this, e.g. Cat show, Livestock show, and Halter (horse show) (Horse show is largely about performance events, because the primary topic for "horse show" is that, though it mentions halter a.k.a. conformance), and whatever else might qualify.

An alternative approach would be to rewrite the present DAB page as a CONCEPTDAB article, just like Horse show is (and like the much broader Animal show).
