Talk:Mohave

Dab'ing structure

    Mohave and Mojave are two Dab pages that start out by linking erroneously to each other. In the case of Mohave, both the evidence and AGF suggest complete ignorance of the principles of Dab'n (1 2).
    IMO it can only make sense to have separate Dab pages for the two arguably interchangeable spellings, respecting colleagues decisions as to which spelling to apply as article titles for the topics that need one or the other in the title. But dumping uses of both spellings together on each page creates maintainability problems, and poorly serves users who correctly chose a spelling that consensus has decided is more suitable to the topic they have in mind. So those who have erred as to which of the two Dab pages to start on should be aided by a See-also lk to the other page, not with duplication of entries on one page that also exist on the other. That is, only ...Mohave...-titled articles lk'd directly from Mohave Dab page (and not Rdrs to such articles), and conversely re the Mojave spellings.

**Mohave traditional narratives

A Dab pg does not list every article that mentions the term being Dab'd in its name, but articles that may be sought under that name standing alone. "Mojave" or "the Mojave" in many contexts can mean "Mojave Desert", and belongs on the Mojave Dab page. No one in their right mind could expect "Mojave" to be an article on those narratives, and they should be looking via Mohave culture (no; too bad) or Mohave people (hopeful bet) or doing a G- or WP-search, which is something a Dab page can't compete with.
