Wikivoyage talk:Disambiguation policy
Struggling with disambiguations edit
I'm really struggling with these disambiguations and I'd like the input of other Wikivoyagers. I'll explain the problem with some examples:
- La Rioja is:
- an autonomous community in Spain, which I disambiguated as La Rioja (Spain)
- a province in Argentina, disambiguated as La Rioja (Argentina)
- a city in this province, disambiguated as La Rioja (city)
Note that the highest hierarchical level is disambiguated using rule 2 and the lowest using rule 1.
- The Chaco is:
- a region in Argentina, disambiguated as Chaco (Argentina)
- a region in Bolivia, disambiguated as Chaco (Bolivia)
- a region in Paraguay, disambiguated as Chaco (Paraguay)
- a province in the Chaco region of Argentina, disambiguated as Chaco (province)
Again, the highest level uses rule 2 and the lowest uses rule 1.
Now I'm looking at Santa Fe and I don't really know what to do.
- Santa Fe is:
- a province in Argentina (to be disambiguated as Santa Fe (province)?)
- a city in this province (to be disambiguated as Santa Fe (Argentina)?)
- a city in New Mexico (to be disambiguated as Santa Fe (New Mexico)?)
Contrary to the first 2 examples, the highest level uses rule 1 and the lowest uses rule 2.
I'm a bit confused here and I'd really like to know other opinions on what to do when there's a mix of rules 1 and 2 and which rule should be used for which level. Thanks. (WT-en) DhDh 13:08, 28 Dec 2003 (PST)
- I'm totally lost why this is a problem. "the highest level uses rule 2 and the lowest uses rule 1"? Why does this factor? I'm having a hard time grasping the issue. Is it a question of parallelism? I don't think parallelism is a goal for the disambiguation policy. --(WT-en) Evan 13:49, 28 Dec 2003 (PST)
