Rearranging

I'm planning on rearranging some sections around rigger and outrigger. At the moment, I'm considering these two options:

Either:

Rigger contains bottom section of Outrigger and link to Rigger (disambiguation)
Rigger (disambiguation) links to Rigger, Outrigger and Bondage rigger

Or:

Rigger becomes a disambiguation page, linking to Rigger (sailing), Outrigger and Bondage rigger
Bottom section of Outrigger goes to Rigger (sailing)

Any input or opinions would be appreciated, just to make sure I don't step on anyone's toes. --me_and 6 July 2005 14:21 (UTC)

I would put the position of rigger (both sailing and parachute) at Rigger. It would probably be a good idea to put an italicized notice at the top of the article pointing readers to Bondage rigger for that usage. The articles on the outrigger outside the boat (so to speak) and the one inside the boat should be split and titled Outrigger (canoe) and either Outrigger (galley) or Outrigger (paddling). Incidentally, "rowing boat" is a confusing phrase, and I'm still not sure what kind of water vessel has this kind of outrigger. Outrigger itself will need to be a disambiguation page. -Acjelen 04:22, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Outrigger seems too small to me to split up in that way -- splitting it up even more seems rather pointless. As an alternative, it may be better to edit and move the rigger section to Wiktionary, and make Rigger a dab page to Bondage rigger and Outrigger, with a link to the Wiktionary page. --me_and 10:44, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

But hopefully both outrigger articles will grow larger. Pictures, for instance, would help greatly. Moving rigger to Wikitionary sounds like a good idea. I wonder if there is an article (a list, for instance) about jobs on a large sailing ship. The two kinds of outriggers are so different that keeping them together will only invite more calls to split them. We could alternatively merge the outside the boat outrigger information into Canoe, then redirect Outrigger to Canoe. Inside the boat outrigger and job rigger would be moved to Wikitionary. I'm not sure what to do with Rigger in this instance. -Acjelen 23:18, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

other uses of word "outrigger"

Both rigger and outrigger are also used in the context of cranes, should I create pages Rigger (cranes) and Outrigger (Cranes), and put a disambiguation link on the current pages? RoscoHead 04:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article is quite short and there is plenty of room for expansion. Maybe this article could be generalized or extended to cover other kids of extentions used to stabilize a boat, vehicle, or structure to prevent it from tipping over, such as outriggers for crane trucks, missile launchers, etc. H Padleckas (talk) 23:34, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Outrigger is also used in context of Data warehouse for example ^[1] (talk) 00:11, 14 June 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.230.140.11 (talk) [reply]

It would be very helpful to people like me who don't know what an "outrigger" is to have images for each of the different types. In particular, I'm coming up with some rather fantastical images as I'm attempting to visualize "a triangular frame that holds the rowlock (into which the oar is slotted) away from the saxboard (gunwale for gig rowing) to optimize leverage." Can someone who actually knows what these things are make a diagram with arrows pointing at the outrigger, the rowlock, the saxboard, and gunwale? Ben (talk) 20:28, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gig rowing - do gigs have riggers ?

I modified to link gig rowing to Cornish pilot gig but after some further research I have found no evidence that outriggers are actually used on gigs (cf. Google gig outrigger). Thus my change is neutral in the sense that I have not made the information worse, ... but ... is this information about gigs correct? Can gigs have riggers? Should this be deleted? 22:35, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
