Over the River and Through the WoodsOver the River and Through the Woods (play) – Everyone is familiar with the song as using the word "Woods"; it is very confusing to dis-ambiguate the song by using the word "Wood".

  • Oppose – we don't normally do things that way. The song in question, for those unfamiliar with it like me, is "Over the River and Through the Wood" and that is its original and correct title. I know nothing about either the play or the song beyond what's in their respective Wikipedia articles; I only have the play's article on my watchlist due to vandalism.

  • Oppose in the absence of evidence that the title phrase is more strongly associated with the song than the play. Some places you might want to consider for building your argument: 1) Clickstream data. Are lots of readers landing on this page and clicking the hatnote to get to the song? 2) Is this article accumulating mistargeted wikilinks? 3) Do published books and articles commonly refer to the song with the "Woods" form of the title?
