The commented description
Although the comment requested that the descriptive text be kept, it is not something that belongs on a dab page and so I deleted it. Here is what was deleted, in case it is needed:
- <!--- '''Madras''' refers to many of the things listed below, but most often, it refers to [[Chennai]], the capital of [[Tamil Nadu]] state and India's fourth largest metropolitan city. The 367-year-old Madras city is a large commercial and industrial centre, and is known for its cultural heritage and temple architecture. The city is the automobile capital of India, and a stronghold in the IT, ITES and the Medical Tourism sectors. It also houses one of the longest beaches in the world, the [[Marina Beach]] and hosts India's only ATP tennis event, the [[Chennai Open]]. Although Madras was renamed to Chennai, the old name Madras is still used widely. ''See the article on [[Chennai]] for more information.'' --> <!-- SAVE the above description. Summarize it further if needed, but do not scrap it.-->
I imagine most of this is already covered on the Chennai page. If not, anyone is welcome to add it, or I will when I have a chance to get back to it. Auntof6 (talk) 06:34, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
First link to Chennai, perhaps?
First line of this disambiguation article links to the title, Madras, which means a redirect. Shouldn't it link straight to Chennai instead? Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:01, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- Not necessarily. See WP:MOSDAB#Linking to a primary topic. This seems more analogous to the Danzig/Gdansk example than the Mozart example. older ≠ wiser 17:41, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
