List of X (in/of) Washington pages[edit]

Hi, in early 2023 you converted a number of redirects to the Washington state pages in the List-format into set index pages linking to both the Washington state and Washington, DC, list articles. I noticed one of them and was surprised how many incoming links it still had, since normally people fix links to disambiguation pages fairly quickly. Which is when I realized they were marked as set index and not disambiguation pages. I think that these pages which link to the two options should be disambiguation pages and not set indexes as they disambiguate two set index page.

Georgia state vs Georgia country is a similar case and is handled by disambiguation pages (see List of rivers of Georgia for example), I believe. I think any changes would approximately the set below but I may have missed some at this point.

Do you see any reason why and/or think that I shouldn't convert the existing Washington pages from set index to disambiguation pages? And thanks!

@Skynxnex: I think you're right, I must have misunderstood the difference between disambiguation and set index. Thrakkx (talk) 18:49, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that's uncommon (I spent a decent bit of time making sure I was probably right before I asked). I plan to adjust all of those to disambiguation pages soon. Skynxnex (talk) 21:37, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
