Interestingly OASIS and Oasis give different results. Is this a Wikimedia bug? Disambiguation is required but how? Psb777 11:04, 24 Jan 2004 (UTC)
No, it's a feature; in this case, the ability to recognize case. The solution is a dab header on each page, although few readers are likely to actually make the acronym lower case or the feature all caps. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:48, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Discussion copied from Wikipedia:Requested moves:
- OASIS (organization) → Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards —(Discuss)— That's the full and correct name of the organization. The former title should IMHO be a redirect --DmitTrix (talk) 10:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
For what it's worth, I oppose the incomplete move proposal to the full name; we use WP:COMMONNAMES, like NATO. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:48, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Currently OASIS redirects to Oasis (disambiguation), which lists three OASIS acronyms. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
