Batcave music[edit]

@Leitmotiv: This is a page about what the term 'Batcave' can refer to. Batcave can refer to early Gothic Rock. So what is your fucking problem? Korn (talk) 07:55, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Remember WP:CIVIL. This is a disambiguation page for batcave. Your original edit made it look like it was a part of the entry above which would have been redundant and excessive info beyond the function of a disambig page. Your current edit lists it as a new and separate entry for a genre of rock based on a club. Disambiguation pages are not articles listing any permutation of batcave - only those with actual articles. There's a bat cave in my home state, but it doesn't have an article, so it doesn't qualify for this page. If batcave gothic rock doesn't have its own article, then it's not notable enough for this page. What you can do, is create a redirect page for Batcave gothic rock that directs to the batcave nightclub. It's not the best fix, but a temporary one until a batcave article can be created. In the mean time I will be undoing your edit, because it doesn't link to any article and because the club is already listed. Any other questions, feel free to ask @Korn:.

@Leitmotiv: If it seems to you like it was part of the entry above, you are not listening to what I say. The word Batcave, while taking its name from the club, is used to refer to Gothic Rock. Not 'batcave gothic rock', not 'Gothic Rock as long as it's played in the actual Batcave club', Gothic Rock. I don't know why you keep trying to tie it to the club article, a club is a club and not a genre of music. You say Disambiguation pages are not articles listing any permutation of batcave - only those with actual articles. - Gothic Rock has an actual article. And I'm linking to that. You tell me to create a redirect, this page is the redirect I'm trying to create. Stop obstructing for no reason. Korn (talk) 07:03, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Korn: No I hear you. Your original edit had an indentation making it appear as a subset of the entry above - and technically speaking, was. Your new edit does not, making it a standalone entry. If you are trying to include an entry on Gothic Rock, this is the wrong place for it. It doesn't matter if batcave can refer to Gothic Rock as you mentioned at the start of this thread. If the thing you are trying to add doesn't have its own standalone article, it doesn't qualify for this disambig page, or any disambig page for that matter.

Just refer to MOS:DABNOLINK. You'll see that it says "An entry without a blue link is useless for further navigation." Disambiguation is about navigation to Wiki articles that share similar names. The entry you're trying to include has no article to navigate to. We also don't list all the different definitions on disambig page because Wikipedia is not a dictionary, either.
