*I'd be very disinclined to make an abbreviation the main article as in #1. Yes, there should be a single article (with the others as redirects) and my personal preference would be for the target article to be located at [[Safe, sane and consensual]] (option #2). (The comma before the 'and' is, I believe, known as an "Oxford comma" and is - surprisingly - correct grammar!) --[[User:VampWillowTop|VampWillowTop]] 00:08, 20 Jun 2005 (BST)

Proposed changes

Resons for proposals

  • 'Safe, sane, and consensual' is grammatically poor: it should be 'Safe, sane and consensual'.
  • 'Safe, sane and consensual' is lengthy and cumbersome in links; 'SSC' would be easier.
  • RACK has the content for 'Risk Aware Consensual Kink'. It is inconsistent to have the content under 'Safe, sane and consensual' rather than SSC.
    • This may be worth thinking about as a general policy issue. For example, should we have content under "M/s" or under "Master/slave", "S&M" or "Sadomasochism".
  • SSC is a stub that is neither the full text nor a disambiguation.
  • The sooner we change this kind of thing the better. At the moment, the effort to change is still manageable.

Proposal (#1) - if we are to use the abbreviation as page name

Alternate Proposal (#2) - if we are to use the full title as page name
