[edit] Page move
(from WP:RM)
[edit] .au (domain name) → .au
The domain name is primary usage, and aligns page naming with the 200+ other ccTLDs. .au is currently a redirect to this page. File format usage is very much secondary, and is disambiguated. -- kjd 14:13, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. Primary vs. secondary usage is very much debatable; neither usage is overwhelmingly predominant. That said, the article should properly be at .au (top-level domain). ADH (t&m) 14:27, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Support - one look at Template:CcTLD should be enough to settle the debate. --Boco XLVII 21:41, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- If you're referring to the fact that .au is one of only two top-level domains disambiguated in this manner, I'd like to point out that I could just as easily argue that Georgia (U.S. state) is mistitled based solely on Template:United States—perhaps more persuasively, as it's the only disambiguated state article, whereas there are two exceptions in your example. Obviously, neither argument carries much weight. ADH (t&m) 22:04, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Support. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:00, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Support - consistency wins here. Also, the audio file extension is simply "au", without the separator. -- Netoholic @ 22:03, 2005 Feb 8 (UTC)
- Support - makes a lot of sense. Longhair 00:01, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Support, echoing Netoholic. Rd232 00:02, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Support, the disambiguation notice (which could also be added to .so) suffices to dispel any possible confusion. — Ливай | ☺ 00:56, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Support. --Evil Monkey∴Hello 22:02, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Support, what's the value in redirected ".au" to ".au (domain name)"? Nothing. Cburnett 07:31, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
