That says HIII
I have just removed the following explanation, not belonging on a disambiguation page (see also MoS:DP)

• A job sequence involves
  1. Setup time, including the infrastructure and materials
  2. Value added, including service delivery
  3. Take-down time, including disposition and disposal

That info might be at Job sequence, but I don’t see a reason to have it here. Kusma (討論) 02:59, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Jobs redirects here, since it’s the most obvious, but this is probably not a perfect redirect. Suggestions? —Christopherlin 07:23, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In trying to update an article about a type of job, I am really not satisfied with the interaction between the pages for job, occupation, and the relevant concepts.

job, in the sense of a role or set of responsibilities for an entity (usually a person)

Currently, the word job in this sense is everywhere in wikipedia, but on the disambiguation page, the only relevant item is Employment, and that only applies for paid jobs where you are in an employee relationship.

job (role) would encompass:

as well as the temporary duties – “My job this week is to update Wikipedia entries.” I think there is more here than just a dictionary definition, so that it warrants its own entry… which can be linked to as a universal node for all the types of job roles described in Wikipedia.

Job (disambiguation) → Job – I don’t think there’s a primary topic here. The current pageviews don’t suggest that Work (human activity) is primary by usage, and even back when Job was a stand-alone article on jobs, it was still only coming in fourth in pageviews. I suppose one could argue WP:PT2, but Job (biblical figure) and Book of Job have enough long-term significance of their own that I don’t think we’re in substantially greater territory. Disambiguating will also give us more informative WikiNav data to help figure out what people who type in “Job” are actually looking for.

• Support The Biblical figure is the main issue here, as he has major long-term significance and high pageviews. It is not evident whether the idea of paid work or the Biblical figure is primary, so a primary redirect is improper. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:33, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Between 2008 and 2014 it was at Job (role), for what it’s worth. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 08:21, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  That works too. It probably shouldn’t have been moved away from there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:34, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
