Text and/or other creative content from this version of First-mover advantage was copied or moved into Law of the handicap of a head start with this edit on 29 October 2022. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Merger proposal[edit]

This page contains the section First-mover advantage#Disadvantages of being a first mover. First-mover disadvantage redirects to this section.

However, there exists also the (somewhat awkwardly-named) page Law of the handicap of a head start, which also discusses a disadvantage of being a first mover.

I propose merging both First-mover advantage#Disadvantages of being a first mover and Law of the handicap of a head start into First-mover disadvantage.

Also, this is my first time proposing a merge on Wikipedia. Please let me know if I've done anything wrong :)

It looks like First-mover disadvantage is a long-standing redirect to the relevant section on First-mover advantage. I agree that that section, First-mover advantage#Disadvantages of being a first mover has some good content that would be better placed on the dedicated page Law of the handicap of a head start. That would also help the rather unbalanced structure on First-mover advantage, where the disadvantage section is large. The move would be consistent with WP:SUMMARY, assuming that we left behind a simple summary with a template:main. Procedurally, I think that this could be done with template:copied.
