Forum:CIA: Who gets the redirect?
Now that we have several recurring characters in the DWU who are a part of the Central Intelligence Agency, and we'll likely be hearing the acronym, CIA, in reference to that organisation, we face a problem.
Should CIA remain a redirect to Celestial Intervention Agency, or should it redirect to Central Intelligence Agency? I think it should be changed to the latter, because this would be the most recent, and regular, usage of the acronym. What do others think?

- It's obvious to me. Make a disambig– The preceding unsigned comment was added by 92.20.146.52 (talk • contribs) .
I don't think it matters who which is the most recent, the most common use of CIA is in reference to the Celestial Intervention Agency, so that should probably keep the redirect. Of course, you could always go with a disambig page.--Skittles the hog - talk 09:19, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say it's the most common use. Most Torchwood viewers, for example, will certainly assume that "CIA" leads to the Central Intelligence Agency and might be confused by the current use. It should at the very least be a disambig, if not a redirect to the real-world CIA. Ausir(talk) <staff/> 16:14, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Make it a disambig for both the Celestial Intervention Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:18, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

- Disambig is the best choice, although I don't see Culinary Institute of America appearing soon, I was surprised that CIA was not the Central Intelligence Agency when I first came across the link. MGailP 04:05, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
