Does anyone else get annoyed by certain hatlinks? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plankton
When I go to look something up on plankton (a core encyclopedic article if ever there was one), do I really want to have to read: "For the SpongeBob character, see List of characters in SpongeBob SquarePants#Plankton"? Only added recently: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Plankton&diff=308556264&oldid=308375271 To me, this is an example of misplacing information. If some character is named *after* plankton, then that should be a footnote in the plankton article, if even that. If there really is a chance that people will search for "plankton" in an attempt to find out about the SB character, then the hatnote should be neutral and direct people to a disambiguation page ("for other things named plankton, see here"). And I don't care if that disambiguation page only has two entries. That is an acceptable trade-off to having a spongebob squarepants character name jarring people's reading experience by being placed at the top of an unrelated article.
