Disambiguation header

The header at the top of this page says:

For the airport in Atlanta, Texas, see Hall-Miller Municipal Airport.

I would like to know if there's a way we can fix this sentence; specifically the comma after "Texas" needs to be a semicolon. But the template doesn't allow this. Any comments?? Georgia guy ( talk) 16:41, 22 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Why would that comma need to be a semicolon? It's equivalent to the comma after Idaho in the previous note. -- User:Khajidha ( talk) ( contributions) 17:09, 22 November 2022 (UTC) reply
It's a greater pause than the comma after Atlanta. The comma after Atlanta is within the first part of this sentence. The comma after Texas separates the 2 parts; it needs a greater pause and thus should be a semicolon. The comma after Idaho in the previous note should be a comma because there's no similar reason. Georgia guy ( talk) 20:24, 22 November 2022 (UTC) reply
The pause after Idaho and the pause after Texas are exacttly the same. The pause after Atlanta is shorter because it just introduces a parenthetical.-- User:Khajidha ( talk) ( contributions) 22:36, 22 November 2022 (UTC) reply
The first sentence's grammar is different from the second because the second sentence has 2 levels of pauses. The short pause should have a comma and the second should have a semicolon. Giving commas to both of them would imply that they're the same level of pause. (The first sentence has only one pause level and so its comma is fine.) Georgia guy ( talk) 22:40, 22 November 2022 (UTC) reply
The grammar in both sentences is the same "For the airport in <location>, see <article>." The second sentence includes commas around "Texas" because commas are required around state names after a city name in the middle of a sentence. Both of these situations call for a comma, not a semicolon. -- User:Khajidha ( talk) ( contributions) 16:51, 24 November 2022 (UTC) reply
We use semicolons in place of commas when we need to separate phrases that have commas inside them. What am I getting wrong?? Georgia guy ( talk) 17:01, 24 November 2022 (UTC) reply
That applies to commas in a list, not commas in a parenthetical like this.-- User:Khajidha ( talk) ( contributions) 18:35, 24 November 2022 (UTC) reply
Parenthetical?? Parentheses are (). Where are there parentheses in this phrase?? Georgia guy ( talk) 18:57, 24 November 2022 (UTC) reply
See https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/parenthetical A parenthetical phrase or remark is not necessarily written in parentheses.-- User:Khajidha ( talk) ( contributions) 19:07, 24 November 2022 (UTC) reply
Can you re-write the header so that it is in parentheses?? Georgia guy ( talk) 19:12, 24 November 2022 (UTC) reply
No. There is no need. It is perfectly correct as is. I don't why you think it isn't, but you are WRONG. Please find somethong else to do.-- User:Khajidha ( talk) ( contributions) 19:59, 24 November 2022 (UTC) reply
