Discussion[edit]

The disambig page lists both the phobia, which should be uncapitalized, and various capitalized titles) — Russ (talk) 11:48, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This seems inappropriate. The phobia, fear of the dark, has it's own page at the title. The disambig page is primarily for the albums, songs and films with that name. 128.232.1.193 (talk) 12:49, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure the previous commenter understood the proposal. I am not suggesting moving or renaming the Fear of the dark article. I am only suggesting that the disambiguation page should be uncapitalized. --Russ (talk) 14:16, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I did understand. My point was that all of the links on this disambig page are capitalized. So it makes sense to capitalize the page title. If someone was looking for Fear of the dark, they would not have arrived at this disambig page. 128.232.1.193 (talk) 16:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per the point made by 128.232.1.193 above. The dab page disambiguates uses of Fear of the Dark, not uses of Fear of the dark, and so should remain at Fear of the Dark (disambiguation) and should not be moved to Fear of the dark (disambiguation) (though the latter should redirect to the former, which it does). --Born2cycle (talk) 17:43, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
