Rapeseed oil -> Canola oil instead?

I only just learnt that 'that North American canola thing' is rapeseed oil - or at least *a* rapeseed oil, still not sure if there's a distinction and if there is that I understand it. But perhaps 'rapeseed oil' should redirect to 'canola oil' rather than to 'rapeseed'? If canola oil is a subset of rapeseed oils, then perhaps that page should be renamed 'rapeseed oil', with a section or whatever on what makes such an oil canola or not.

A merge has recently been proposed which resolves this, although in a different way. Interested parties might want to comment at Talk:Colza oil#merge with canola?. Klbrain (talk) 16:24, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rape Link

What is the reason for the link of the word "rape" in this article to the seperate article on (sexual assault) rape. Each article gives an etymology and the word rape appears to derive from two different Latin words, so there isn't even a "language link". 2A00:23C7:5992:4A00:6917:1DF2:E0FC:1066 (talk) 07:30, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Brassica napus should not redirect to Rapeseed

Rapeseed and Canola are only a few of the many varieties or cultivars of Brassica napus. Brassica napus deserves its own page about the whole species, similar to the pages on Brassica oleracea and Brassica juncea. I remember that Brassica napus used to have its own page instead of redirecting to Rapeseed. What happened to that page? Bengtang (talk) 20:25, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly second that. This page is like as if Brassica oleracea should redirect to Cabbage, ignoring Kale, Cauliflower and Brussel sprouts.

Now for instance the page on Rutabaga is orphaned. We need a page on the plant, and one each on the most important cultivars, just like the other Brassicas, and other cultural plants in Wikipedia for that matter. jax (talk) 07:34, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
