Disambiguation style

[edit]

I'm confused about the style for these disambiguation pages. This page was originally called Forest School (disambiguation) but was subsequently changed to Forest School to conform with the style. Wikipedia:Disambiguation states "The title of a disambiguation page is the ambiguous term itself, provided there is no primary topic for that term. If there is a primary topic, then the tag "(disambiguation)" is added to the name of the disambiguation page, as in Jupiter (disambiguation). In this case there is no primary topic (ie there is no one meaning of Forest School which is so important that it should take precedence). The Forest School page now redirects here. Surely this page should be changed back to Forest School as it was before? Dahliarose (talk) 11:07, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that Forest School (education) is the primary topic, and should be renamed to occupy the main article title. All of the others are either synonyms or individual institutions that are less notable. Rixs (talk) 10:38, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would disagree. It seems to be quite an obscure subject and is certainly not what most people would expect to find when searching for Forest School. I've reverted the page move and redirect as there was no consensus for the change. Dahliarose (talk) 14:19, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
