[edit] Toronto Airport

Well it's partly because of not being able to be sure which airport the person is looking for. Partly because it's the same as Montreal Airport, Calgary Airport and Edmonton Airport. Partley so that the person who isn't lloking for Pearson is saved an extra click. Partly because ther is no real reason to have two disambiguation pages for the same thing.

They might be but I don't really know. It would be better than a second disambiguation page. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 22:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I ment like this. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 22:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes that would do it. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 22:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

{{redirect|Toronto Airport|other airports in the Toronto area|List of airports in the Greater Toronto Area}} would do the trick. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 22:31, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 22:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Toronto Airport Disambugation

Hi, I see a similar discussion above. There are other redirects, e.g. Calgary Airport that redirects to List of airports in the Calgary area, etc., since there are more than one airport for these regions. By redirecting to the list rather than the most common airport, this helps writers link properly to the correct airport and prevents lazy linking. Certainly, one could always link using pipes, e.g. [[Toronto Pearson International Airport|Toronto Airport]]. Most of the time Toronto Airport == Toronto Pearson International Airport, however not always (e.g., Toronto City Centre Airport). Redirecting to a list would also not require the "Toronto Airport redirects here" blurb at the top, which is unnecessary and distracting to new readers. Could I revert it to be similar to the other airport/city combinations (well, in Canada at least)? +mt 01:55, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Also, to further help people out, I'll go through the "List of airports ..." for the list/cities that I'm aware of and bold the prime airport to help readers/editors pick the main airport (which might otherwise be a redirect of this fashion). +mt 02:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
