– My guess is that Mani the prophet is the primary topic, that most people searching on "mani" are looking for this guy. There are a lot of other things that come under "mani", but none of them are really very notable, whilst Mani the prophet is a world-historical figure of great importance and (I think) fame. The objection would be "well, all these many other mani-things added together are probably equivalent to the one guy or close anyway". There's no way to know if that is true but my guess is not. Also, in the rule somewhere it stays to lean toward the more scientific/serious/long-term-important meaning for a term in cases of doubt. Herostratus (talk) 18:43, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
