Since when on disambiguation pages one uses "the" in front of entries? Also what is the use of "See also" on a disambiguation page, if it is not for similar sounding or similar spelled things? And hy put Rio there? There are lots of other imperial capitals, but this is now a dab page, not anymore about the concept of an imperial city.

if you type ** [[Capital (economics)]] of an empire the result is ** "Capital (economics) of an empire" which is not compliant with your WP:MOS. It should be the [[Capital (economics)|capital]] of an empire as that gives you: the capital of an empire which is grammatically correct as the sentence now reads : "Imperial capital may refer to the capital of an empire".

What is "your WP:MOS"? I have no WP:MOS. Also your sentence is complete nonsense on a dab page, since "Imperial capital may refer to the capital of an empire" does not distinguish between capital as in "capital city" and capital as in "capital (economics)".

Sorry. Not your MOS, our MOS (Manual of style). See WP:MOS Travelbird (talk) 23:25, 8 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
