Disambiguation edit
Following its recent change, Subdistrict is now top of the Disambiguation pages with links error report. Are you able to help fix the resulting broken links? Certes (talk) 20:35, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- I see it's no longer a dab, though some of its incoming links may still benefit from diversion to a more specific topic. Certes (talk) 22:30, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- It's intended to be a disambiguation page, as that was the AfD result. The change to a "set" was probably wrong. I'll take a look at the links (primarily via a single useless template), but this is the kind of thing that I'd expected others to be working on in parallel.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 11:27, 3 January 2021 (UTC)- I didn't spot the AfD, which seems inconclusive. It's an awkward case as it's debatably a BCA: all meanings are "part of a district"; we don't have Subdistrict (film) etc. Some incoming links would be better targetted to Subdistricts of China etc. but others are legitimate, which suggests that a dab isn't ideal. I fixed most of the templates which linked there yesterday as an easy way to reduce incoming links from to 1260 to 478. Certes (talk) 12:29, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing templates, that helped a lot, I've fixed another. Technically almost everything is a kind of "district", that's why they are called "Administrative districts". Actually, none of the meanings of the list entries are "part of a district". These were arbitrarily assigned by various editors (usually not sourced) as a kind of placeholder for "small", but not "smallest". More appropriately townships as noted. Or even streets. Just a garbage page, so I'd nominated for deletion. One editor thought it should be a disambiguation page, nobody else commented in a week, so we tried that.... Now it's a "set" catch-all page.
