Hi everybody. In Talk:Russiagate there's a dab to be fix: Has Russiagate a primary topic? MrKeefeJohn (talk) 13:41, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

: It does have a primary topic, which is covered here: Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections#Trump's "Russiagate hoax" claims. That is where we cover it the best, so that's a more logical target for Russiagate than the current link. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 00:39, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

:: Correct that there is a primary topic, and per the definition in the lede of that article {{tq|The "hacking and disinformation campaign" to damage Clinton and help Trump became the "core of the scandal known as Russiagate"}}. Either the lede is wrong, or the idea that the "hoax" claim is the PT sounds like a WP:CFORK to me, which is not allowed. Widefox; talk 23:32, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

::: I'm not sure of your point. As I understand it, there is the mainstream view (topic of the Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections article) from RS. There is also a fringe view promoted by unreliable sources (Trump and right-wing media). Because the fringe view is also occasionally mentioned in RS, we can document and include it in the main article, and we do that at Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections#Trump's "Russiagate hoax" claims.

::: The mainstream view (most RS) is that there was real interference, and that Trump and Co. both publicly and secretly cooperated with the Russians in myriad non-criminal (and maybe some treasonous) ways, but were not proven to have "conspired" or "coordinated" with them, at least not strongly enough to stand up in court. Some evidence of conspiracy was found, at least by Manafort and Stone, with Trump knowing about it.

::: The fringe view (Trump and right-wing media) turns this on its head, calls it all a "hoax", and denies any involvement, often denying Russia was to blame, and trying to pin blame on Ukraine, Hillary Clinton, the Steele dossier, etc, calling that the "real collusion". That is a fringe conspiracy theory, and we document much of that at Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections#Trump's "Russiagate hoax" claims and Russia investigation origins conspiracy theory, which is a related topic.

::: So the fringe "Russiagate hoax" view is a related topic worth mentioning in the main article, as is the case now. It is also an acceptable type of content to fork (where it can be expanded). We don't want it to get too large for the main article, where it would create an undue weight problem. It is notable enough to qualify for an independent article, per WP:GNG: "A topic is {{em|presumed}} to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received {{em|significant coverage}} in {{em|reliable sources}} that are {{em|independent of the subject}}." -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 15:56, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

I recently formatted dhis page per MOSDAB (to my best), but I feel uneasy with main topic being the Nazi Außenlager. Please review. --Altenmann >talk 04:00, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
