Topological notion is absent!

The situation still requires intervention on several issues. First, leaving Isotopy without further qualification may be misleading (as I was misled). In such cases, as Boris suggested, the "root" page should be a disambiguation, with all specific pages linked both ways. If somebody writes a page and selects the first occurrence of a popular term in double ['s, it is permissible to point to a disambiguation page, but wrong to point to an irrelevant page.
My second problem is with the search engine (upper left corner): while I type, it gives me a list of suggestions among the page names, but this list in not always complete, and, what is worse, if a page with this name exists, it will be automatically redirected to instead of searching EoM for other occurrences of the same word. I learned the hard way how to oversmart this wizardry: one has to search for the empty string, then it gives a detailed search window which will work as expected. Probably, novices like me should be warned about this peculiarity. -- Sergei Yakovenko 07:30, 7 May 2012 (CEST).
