Move
editThis page was unnecessarily disambiguated to Ion (physics), where the page Ion served as a redirect to it. I have therefore moved the physics article here - and it retains a link to the disambiguation page. --Oldak Quill 16:41, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Proposed merge of Dianion into Ion#Anions and cations
edit- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Doubtful that there is enough content to justify an entire article for dianions when anions are, themselves, a small subsection of another article. Phuzion (talk) 16:43, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'm sort of meh on that proposal. It makes some sense, but on the other hand we do have the dual article dication as a standalone. But there are arguably more interesting things to say about dications than about dianions. Pichpich (talk) 21:10, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- I created the article after reading Why are double negative ions (Hydrogen) unstable? and researching a little. I agree that there isn't a lot of content on dianions, but I think the existing information on them are still too specific to be merged into this page's anions section. – Xingyzt (talk | contribs) 22:28, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose this merge, as we need more smaller articles on these kinds of topics, so that they can be found by a single name, rather than massive confusing articles without a clear definition of each of the subtopics. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:41, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- And anion should be its own article too. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:42, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Any further merges into the ion article would make it a painstakingly colossal article, and would be too long to read clearly. Even though information about the smaller topics is rare, research is in progress and content about them will increase in the future. They have to be standalone articles in order to receive that content when it becomes available through research.
- Also, sections about the smaller topics in the ion article can include excerpts from respective articles of said topics, in form of {{excerpt}} templates. — CrafterNova [ TALK ] [ CONT ] 16:01, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
Hydronium
editIt should be hydronium not oxonium, in the common cations table 67.160.97.30 (talk) 02:22, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Done. Rawsar6 (talk) 22:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi! In Wikipedia there is a published page about the Hydron - hydrogen ion (H+). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydron_(chemistry) I suggest to homogenise the names throughout the pages, so that in this page (wiki/ion), in the table of common ions (/ion#Common_ions), I would change the name "Hydrogen" as monoatomic cation, to "Hydron", linked to its own Wikipage. Thank you for your attention, Regards, Lo-zioJack 81.0.32.90 (talk) 20:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
