[edit] Headings

I'm confused - should dab pages not have headings? The formatting clearly indicates separate headings (to us as human beings viewing it), but is this discouraged structurally? Leevclarke 00:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

The manual of style for disamiguation (which I use as the guideline for editing disambiguation pages) states that "Section headers may be used on longer lists instead of, or in addition to, bold subject area headings, but using more than a single level, as on Aurora (disambiguation), is rarely necessary." I didn't think the list was long enough to warrant section headers at this time, it might be though. I mainly reverted because of the removal of the title styling in the names of songs and films as per WP:MOS-T and MoS:DP. If you want to change to headers thats fine, but please don't remove the styling of titles in disambiguation pages. dissolvetalk 00:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Songs

Where do we draw the line with songs? Obviously, if the song has it's own article, it should stay. I'm thinking if the song was realsed as a single, it could remain on a DAB page with a link to the album, or artist. However, if it's simply a track on an album, I don't think it's a likely target for a DAB search. A DAB page is not merely a collection of links.

Either that, or the song list is long enough that it should be moved to it's own DAB page (currently a redirect to this one), Rain (song). Hoof Hearted (talk) 16:32, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

This would be better off asked in WT:MOSDAB, as I wouldn't know the criterion. Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 02:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
