@MSJapan: "Frater" is latin for brother. Why would you wish to have redirect to an article about dining rooms? Chicbyaccident (talk) 06:22, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Because the word is not mentioned on the page to which it was redirected, and "frater" is also a historical usage for the refectory of a monastery (and in fact the definition that Google returns). If there are distinct different usages, a redirect to one over the other needs more work done for clarification. Frater should likely become a disambiguation page to cover all meanings as opposed to a redirect addressing only one. MSJapan (talk) 23:34, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

wiktionary:frater gives: Etymology,Latin, a brother. Noun: frater ‎(plural fraters) 1. A monk. 2. A frater house. Latin noun: frāter m ‎(genitive frātris); third declension; brother, friend, lover, sibling. (Ecclesiastical Latin) brother, brethren; member of a religious community. What is the source supporting the redirection of your choice? Chicbyaccident (talk) 20:08, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

You cannot use Misplaced Pages or related projects to support edits to Misplaced Pages, so whether it exists or not, you cannot use a Wiktionary link to support an edit. Now, going to an actual dictionary: here gives "refectory." End of story. MSJapan (talk) 00:01, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm not saying that, but giving an idea about the consensus on Wikimedia about the perception of the total availability of sources on the subject. The dictionary you refered to is fine, but it is just one, and also it is inaccessible for free users. Chicbyaccident (talk) 11:28, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
