Editing Talk:∆ (section)

== Homoglyphs ==

Two characters are involved, different by Unicode definition:
* A. {{unichar|0394|GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DELTA|nlink=Delta (letter)|html=}}; article = <nowiki>[[</nowiki>&thinsp;[[Δ]]&thinsp;]] (R) &rarr; [[Delta (letter)]]
* B. {{unichar|2206|increment|nlink=|html=}}; article = <nowiki>[[</nowiki>&thinsp;[[∆]]&thinsp;]] (DAB) 

I note that B has two different targets (both are DAB pages). I see no ''technical'' errors. My questions are: is this the best way to handle these [[homoglyphs]]? Wouldn't the dab pages need more DABing, like =See also= mentioning (at least), hatnote? Note that this page uses the two glyphs intermixed (eg the Laplace and Increment DAB terms).

:And there is also 
* C. {{unichar|25B3|WHITE UP-POINTING TRIANGLE}}; article = <nowiki>[[</nowiki>&thinsp;[[△]]&thinsp;]] (R) &rarr; [[Geometric Shapes (Unicode block)]]

:::{{ping|DePiep}} Ask [[WT:WPDAB]] forhelp on this one. I would recommend either AfD or including only the articles [[Delta (letter)]], [[Increment operator]], and [[Triangle]]. –[[User:LaundryPizza03|<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b>]] ([[User talk:LaundryPizza03|<span style="color:#0d0">d</span>]][[Special:Contribs/LaundryPizza03|<span style="color:#0bf">c̄</span>]]) 04:25, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
::::OK, since no cut-and-dried solution (we know). To cover all homoglyphs. OTOH, I do think regular DAB terms ie ''meanings'' like [[Symmetric difference]] should stay. In other situations, such a meaning even be primary topic. And, which page to AfD you mean? -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 04:33, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|DePiep}} Taking this page to AfD. Or, do you think an RfC might help elicit a solution here? –[[User:LaundryPizza03|<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b>]] ([[User talk:LaundryPizza03|<span style="color:#0d0">d</span>]][[Special:Contribs/LaundryPizza03|<span style="color:#0bf">c̄</span>]]) 01:45, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
::::::{{re|LaundryPizza03}} imo no AfD needed: this page is helpful. The character is a regular and understandable search term . Our job is to lead the readers who arrive here (not by incident) to a useful article. In general, can be the page itself having content, a DAB page, or a redirect. There are more, e.g., {{clc|Category:Redirects from Unicode characters}}. RfC or a talk:DAB first (not much time this week to initiate). -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 04:49, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
::::::In short, LP03, there is no DAB/redirect MOS on ''homoglyphs''. I think a [[WT:DAB]] is the place to develop this. -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 05:30, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
::::::Incidentally, someone earlier asked about the entry list on this very page {{slink|Wikipedia_talk:Disambiguation|A_letter_+_its_usage}}. ;-) -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 05:31, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
