Talk:Divide and rule (disambiguation)

mediawiki buglet

Here I wanted to do an interlangauge link inside the page:

If I do [[la:Divide et imperia]] in the middle of a page, as in

Divide and conquer is derived from the latin saying [[la:Divide et imperia|Divide et imperia]].

Then the link won't appear as part of the main article text. It's a nice feature to put stuff at the bottom of the page, but in this case, it breaks. :-/

There is a list of latin phrases in the English Wikipedia. Link to that page, and your problem becomes their problem... Jorge Stolfi 02:23, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[[:la:Divide et imperia]]=la:Divide et imperia. Note that I see what good will it do you, given that there's no such article in the moment, and that all such link would be inappropriate. Still, it's a trick worth knowing. -- Itai 23:46, 5 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right, and thank you very much. Kim Bruning 07:58, 6 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the links to be "in the raw" (foo (bar) instead of foo) in order to help the task of short-circuiting links to this page. Also the entries should not be full definitions; they should only give enough context to direct the reader to the proper page.Jorge Stolfi 02:23, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Military Meaning

What about the Military Meaning of "Divide and Conquer", that is, either spearheading an enemy force into two smaller forces and destroying both of them seperately or dividing your own force into two seperate entities and attacking one fortification from two different directions to weaken the enemy foothold.-ChewyLSB 02:21, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
