[edit] Directory listing

I was wondering, why not mark each entry (at least those without own articles) =====Acrid===== so that a link or redirect can go directly to the word, rather than the top alpha letter, from where an entry may not even be visible? There is a magic word formula so that this won't affect the TOC I think. MURGH ^disc. 18:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Boldly, I did it. I can think of a few places it would be beneficial. MURGH ^disc. 01:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Varieties in the list?

Presently, some varieties are included in the list. I'm not really sure if I consider names of varieties to be "wine terms" in a proper meaning of the word. To avoid having hundreds of them, it seems sensible to avoid including grape varieties, regions, and countries in this list. Tomas e (talk) 18:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

• Perhaps they should have their own list? Earthdirt (talk) 19:42, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

It already exists, see List of grape varieties! Tomas e (talk) 20:36, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

It makes sense. Maybe add a See also at the bottom? And while we're at it, Wine tasting descriptors is elsewhere, so should those get limited to that page? MURGH ^disc. 23:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
