Nobody's using P for prevalence. It's being used for positive. Take a look at the table.
> that is the number of d[i]seased people
Yes, that is what "positive" means. (In the context of a test for disease.)
Also TP + FN = Prevalence of the desease, but using P for prevalence and for positive creates a lot of confusion in a wikipedia page to explain a concept.
My plea is that I don't want people to get confused. On top of it there is a warning on that page of wikipedia: This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. I couldn't understand why they used that notation. So I ask to delete that page because is going to confuse people.
