Merger proposal PATH and Path

I propose that PATH be merged into Path, according to Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Combining terms on disambiguation pages and Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Naming the disambiguation page. 62.19.49.136 (talk) 23:19, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

• Merged as proposed. Often, the organizations named "PATH" are obviously manipulating their names to come up with that acronym. bd2412 T 04:53, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation page vs Main page and/or Categories/Lists

IMHO, this disambiguation page has begun to contain a category/list under the Physical Paths section:

• A list of types of path/trail uses (modes of recreation/transport) - as of today, Bicycle path, Bridle path, Course (navigation) (WTF?), Footpath, Sidewalk, and I today added Shared-use_path (rightly or wrongly)
  • A main entry for Path (physical) would be better, IMHO - see how Trail and Trail_(disambiguation) are set out
  • I'm OK with listing Desire path here until a good category/list of "Path/Trail Origins-Precursors" is created (incl. Rail trail, Holloway, Firebreak?)
  • I will post more about categorizing Trails/Paths in Talk:Trail

I'm also a little concerned about listing Toronto's and New York-New Jersey's urban commuter networks named "PATH" and all organizations that use the acronym "PATH", but I suppose until there are too many (5 ? 10?) of each it's not very wrong?

• Again, see how Trail_(disambiguation) contains entries:
  • All pages with titles beginning with trail
  • All pages with titles containing trail
  • Note: In English, at least, all pages with titles ending with path would be better (is there such a code?)

Sorry I'm not stronger with Wikipedia so as to give more solutions than questions. (And thank YOU, Wikipedians!!) --Pvalanne (talk) 06:21, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
