Seeking guidance: seems odd to me that searches for "SCIM" auto-forward to the Mars Sample article. Looking at the alternatives, I would suggest it either resolve to the disambiguation page, or the Identity Management (which is growing in importance and interest, from my perspective). Thoughts?

Also, out of curiosity, how does one change what search terms auto-resolve to?

Looking at the google hits I did not see a clear primary as previously stated. Combining search terms divides the 500,000 hits into as little as 20,000 for System for Cross-domain Identity Management. Fotaun (talk) 17:29, 3 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

The history of the title SCIM:

• On 11 December 2012, the redirect to Smart Common Input Method was usurped to start a new article about Sample Collection for Investigation of Mars (diff)

• On 18 May 2015, the SCIM redirect was changed from Sample Collection for Investigation of Mars to System for Cross-domain Identity Management (Editing redirect from SCIM to more common search term (e.g. top result topic in Google for "SCIM")

With three different topics having boldly sat on the primary topic for this four-letter acronym, I felt that the default should be "no primary topic", and a discussion should be started to establish a PT in the future. Anyone who feels that there is a primary topic should see WP:RM for instructions on how to request a move of any of these articles to SCIM. – Wbm1058 (talk) 18:25, 3 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for looking this up even as memories and editors come and go. Hopefully it will be at peace for awhile now. Fotaun (talk) 18:37, 3 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
