*::If there are only two topics to disambiguate and one of them is primary, we should not have a disambiguation page (so we should not do option B); instead, we should have a redirect to the primary topic and a hatnote on that article pointing to the other one. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 23:12, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
*:::Thanks! For further clarification, would the hatnote be permanently visible at the top of [[cumulative distribution function]]? If so, given that most readers would not arrive there from this page, how could such a note be phrased? —[[User:St.nerol|St.Nerol]] ([[User talk:St.nerol|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/St.nerol|contribs]]) 22:33, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
*::::If there were one, then yes it would be; this is fairly standard. Search for uses of {{tl|redirect}} to see examples. I personally would somewhat prefer that we not have such a hatnote (see my response to Elemimele) but in any case I think that's a little outside the scope of this RFC, which is about what to do with ''this'' page. --[[User:Trovatore|Trovatore]] ([[User talk:Trovatore|talk]]) 23:17, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
*Option '''A'''. It's a fairly innocuous back-formation from CDF by analogy with PDF. We should give the reader what they are looking for and not a lecture on proper terminology. —[[User:St.nerol|St.Nerol]] ([[User talk:St.nerol|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/St.nerol|contribs]]) 22:07, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
*Option '''A'''. (invited here by the RfC bot) Being cumulative, it isn't a PDF, so we don't need to clarify that.---'''[[User:Avatar317|<span style="background:#8A2BE2; color:white; padding:2px;">Avatar317</span>]][[User talk:Avatar317|<sup><span style="background:#7B68EE; color:white; padding:2px;">(talk)</span></sup>]]''' 23:07, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
