Talk:Phone tree

Should be disambiguation page instead

"phone tree" has at least one other common meaning, a tree of a group of people for notifying of/during emergencies where each person has a list of a few people they are supposed to call, and each of them has such a list as well, eventually covering the entire group so that anyone in the group can start a notification of an emergency, and everyone will be notified. A few citations from the first page of Google results for define phone tree:

There are quantitatively and qualitatively similar enough results for both meanings of "phone tree" that the phone tree redirect should be changed to a disambiguation page instead, that links to the existing Automated attendant page as well as a new stub page for this additional common meaning, perhaps something like Phone tree (people). — Tantek (talk) 20:57, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
