Morse Code

According to other Wikipedia articles (I know, I know, can't use Wikipedia as a source for Wikipedia, because in Wikipedian theology it is not an error for Wikipedia to be inconsistent within itself), Morse Code should be listed as one of the meanings of "CW". The Morse Code meanings is SORT OF contained within "continuous wave", but you have to go to the article to figure that out, AND it's not intuitive because Morse Code in that system works by INTERRUPTING an otherwise-continuous wave, making it anything but "continuous" I would think.2604:2000:C682:2D00:D9DF:C7B:F712:CAAA (talk) 02:34, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Christopher L.

CW → CW (disambiguation)CW (disambiguation) – The CW is the primary meaning of CW now. If you want to disprove me, neither centiwatt (the c in cW when it has this meaning is always lowercase) nor the C Omega language (the letters W and Omega are not the same letter) can disprove me in any way. Those 2 meanings are at the top of this page, and The CW is hidden deep in the page, suggesting that it is more likely that someone who types CW will search for one of the 2 meanings I brought up first. CW should re-direct to its primary meaning, The CW; the article will remain where it is. Georgia guy (talk) 17:08, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: Wikipedia does not have a way to distinguish between "cW" and "CW" for an article title. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:52, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. Continuous wave is the othe main contender for a primary meaning, and the TV network is always referred to with its "The". The term is ambiguous, so should remain as a dab page. Tevildo (talk) 08:44, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. It is very rare for an abbreviation to have a primary topic. This does not meet the threshold. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:37, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

  ... especially for short abbreviations. Curtis-Wright (about 75 pageviews per day) might also be worth noticing. There are a lot of different meanings, and "The" makes a difference. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 12:25, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

  AI, IT, UK, US, EU and NZ are examples of tw-letter acronyms with a primary topic (though all of them are redirects). I couldn't think of any others of the top of my head. JuniperChill (talk) 19:26, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

  Other two-letter abbreviations with a primary topic are DJ, IQ, KO, LA, MC, NJ, RF, RV, SI, SS, UN, UV, VP, VW, and WV. Tevildo (talk) 00:02, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose. Per continuous wave, carrier wave and others not preceded by a "the". Moscow Mule (talk) 23:34, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
