Does anyone else get annoyed by certain
hatlinks?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plankton
When I go to look something up on plankton (a core encyclopedic
article if ever there was one), do I really want to have to read:
"For the SpongeBob character, see List of characters in SpongeBob
SquarePants#Plankton"?
This is almost a FAQ on this list :-) The usual cure is a two-item
disambig page. For an example, see what I just did to [[Plankton]].
Thanks.
I feel informed now I know about:
*Plankton Man
*Electroplankton
*United Plankton Pictures
Purist dabbers will dispute some of those entries, but I think dab
pages should be informative, as well as referring purely to things
that might conceivably be searched for or linked to as "plankton".
Hey, you missed out:
*Plankton! - episode 3b(7) of SpongeBob SquarePants (season 1)
I am impressed, though, that we have this article:
And *three* articles on plankton surveys. Not stubs either. Really
rather nice articles:
I hope the SpongeBob SquarePants fans that went looking for
information on their favorite characters are reading these articles!

PS. And people wonder why there is debate over articles on fiction?
