Talk:Safe, sane, and consensual

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

• Content under Safe, sane, and consensual be merged with that under SSC. Safe, sane, and consensual be dropped.
• The redirect under Safe, sane and consensual points to SSC.
• All links for Safe, sane, and consensual, Safe, sane and consensual be altered to point to SSC.

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

• The current Safe, sane and consensual (the redirect) is dropped.
• Safe, sane, and consensual moved to Safe, sane and consensual.
• Content under SSC merged into Safe, sane and consensual and SSC be turned into a redirect.
• All links for SSC and Safe, sane, and consensual be altered to point to Safe, sane and consensual.

Comments

• 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!) --VampWillow 00:08, 20 Jun 2005 (BST)
