Yes, most of those are not true dab entries, but merely titles containing the element "sedge".

My preference would be to start each entry with the headword (as it was), but I'm happy to go along with the (to my mind) rather untidy convention of starting each with the link as per the MOS. However, in the case of Cyperaceae, starting with the link makes a nonsense entry, because "sedge" does not refer to the family, but to each of its members; I've therefore tried to make sense of that one. I've also restored two items which are true dabs, as they are often known solely by the word "sedge". Richard New Forest (talk) 22:02, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
