Why does this redirect to MA? "M.A." should be a redirect to Master's degree: it's not ambiguous and doesn't need disambiguation. -- Someone else 08:10, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Even if there usually is a difference, or at least a nuance or a typo between:
  1. ma
  2. MA
  3. Ma
  4. M.A.
  5. M. A.
  6. M. A
  7. mA
  8. MA.
  9. mA.
it's not necessarily supported by the software nor are many aware of the different usages. Thus I prefer to redirect them to a disambiguation page and note the spelling variatons there (see e.g. MB ). In a few cases, it may be more appropriate:
  • to place the article there (e.g. SI with the article on the Système International, pH), or
  • to redirect the abbreviation to an article (e.g. TB redirecting to Tuberculosis),
and place a link to the disambiguation page there.
(Note: this is just about 2-letter combinations).
In the meantime, I have changed my mind on MA and M.A. and would rather have them redirect to Master's degree. Similar solutions should be found for B.A., M.D., and possibly a few others. -- User:Docu
