This presents an interesting puzzling for naming conventions: if something like "WIMP" is almost always referred to as such, should it be listed under its acronym or under its full title? I have no very strong views about this case particular case, but I lean toward moving it to the full title. This particular page would be a perfect instance for that, because the acronym has two different uses; therefore, WIMP could redirect to those other two pages. --LMS

Weakly interacting massive particle is long enough that it won't be fun to link to. What do you think of perhaps putting the article at [WIMP (astronomy)]??


I'd say yes, I suppose. I don't know, an astronomer familiar with naming conventions should decide, I guess. --LMS
Another option would be [Dark matter/WIMP]?, but I really intended the article to talk about WIMP (astronomy) here and link to graphical user interface as a footnote. --Damian Yerrick
