Talk:Visual crowding

Visual crowding article versus crowding article

I think "visual crowding" (this article) is more appropriate than "[]". The literature is almost exclusively about a visual phenomena, and the relation to other modalities is less clear. And, of course, outside of science, "crowding" could refer to all sorts of things. Aoholcombe (talk) 20:51, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Alex. You are right, both articles are about the visual case; i.e., the described phenomenon is the same. The confusion arose when the article “visual crowding” was drafted in 2019, even though there already was a reasonably good article on the topic (named "crowding") that started in 2012.

The new article is better structured but then some parts in the original article are better. The solution could be merging the two and eventually inserting a redirect from “crowding” to “visual crowding. Strasburger (talk) 14:10, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Bumping this old thread. Crowding and Visual crowding indeed appear to be the same topic, and should be merged. See WP:CFORK. 162 etc. (talk) 22:13, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Went bold here and BLARed Crowding to Crowd (disambiguation). Editors are encouraged to look at the previous version of the Crowding article to add relevant content to Visual crowding, if applicable. 162 etc. (talk) 04:44, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
