Some further confusion on the page name Callsign

[edit]

The redirect Callsign was usurped in February 2020 by some (likely undisclosed paid) advertising for a UK company, which I've now moved to Callsign (company), since they're very clearly not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the word "callsign". In case anyone is wondering, here's where we stand with "call sign" vs. "callsign" links on Wikipedia, even after some editors spent years "correcting" links which needed no correction because it's clearly a well-used alternative for the same thing, and then that UK company idiocy from February until a few minutes ago caused another rash of "corrections" when really the company page should have been moved:

  • call sign 16,042 (+43 call signs) (if I clicked on groups of 500 as many times as I think I did)
  • callsign 522 (+70 callsign (radio), +11 callsigns)
  • call letters 272

All of those include template transclusions, not just direct use. I mention this in case, years from now, someone else claims that "callsign" isn't a well-established spelling: It's only like that because a few users went through and "corrected" everything they saw, not because other users aren't using "callsign" as a single word. --Closeapple (talk) 07:43, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
