About disambiguation pages

edit

The point of a disambiguation page is not to list every possible definition or use of a particular word in the English language; disambiguation pages are meant to assist a Wikipedia user in finding an existing page whose topic is (or could be) the actual word or combination of letters used in their search query.

Before adding a topic to this page, ask yourself:

  • If you were looking for this topic on Wikipedia, would you simply and only type the letters "Os" or "OS" as your search word?
  • Are there people who might refer to your topic by only using the term "OS"?

Please see Wikipedia:Disambiguation and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) for more info.

Edits to page on Mar 30, 2008

Having said that, these are the edits I made to this page:

  • Removed any red-links or references to topics which do not have articles of their own and lack coverage elsewhere in Wikipedia
  • Removed such links as Orba Squara and Outlaw Star since I can find no indication, either in their Wikipedia articles or elsewhere, that either topics are known simply by the initials "OS"
  • Removed such links as Os penis and "External orifice of the uterus, the external os"; these are just terms which include the word "os" but are not links to articles about "os"
  • Removed such entries as the "World Meteorological Organization country code" of Austria or the "ISO 639 alpha-2 code" for the Ossetian language, because anyone searching for these topics would not likely use "OS" as their search word

Certainly if anyone disagrees with anything I've removed they can feel free to place them back on this page. Marchije (talk) 01:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
