::I agree with your sentiment, but not necessarily with your reasoning. Accessibility isn't a bad thing. If I go to Peach's article, I probably expect to read about Peach, be able to learn about her attacks, etc.--I don't expect a disambiguation page that links me to all the Smashers whose names might be Peach, or who play Peach, or who like to eat peaches. (I know this isn't what we were doing before, it's just an example of how maintaining some degree of accessibility is important.) If I read [[Wikipedia:Barack Obama|Barack Obama]]'s page on Wikipedia, I expect to get an overview of his life, accomplishments, etc.--if I want to know more about his time in the state senate, though, there's a brief synopsis and another article about it. | |||
::A lot of people probably don't care about what Obama did as a state senator. But if you click the random button on Wikipedia, you might encounter that very article (or any number of other [[Wikipedia:Sainte-Euphémie-sur-Rivière-du-Sud, Quebec|uninteresting]], [[Wikipedia:Paraphyly|confusing]], or [[Wikipedia:1965_Los_Angeles_Rams_season|hypertechnical]] articles, none of which are relegated to their own namespaces). And what's the worst that can happen? You'll either go somewhere else (you did just click the "Random page" link, you know) or, maybe, you know, learn something new. I'll grant that you're probably not going to learn much from most Smasher pages (i.e. ones about smashers, since I guess that needs to be clarified), but if the distinction between "Smasher" and everything else is going to keep getting distorted, then let's rename the Smasher namespace "SmashWiki" and call it a day. --[[User:Kirby King|<font color="red"><b><i>Kirby King</i></b></font>]] 16:48, 19 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
