I don't recall exactly where it's stated, but the current policy for redirects from the main namespace is that they should always point to the cv: namespace article '''of the same name''', and that the version-specific namespace should then redirect to whatever is appropriate. The example given at the time was "cheese" - 40d redirects "cheese" to "cheese maker", but DF2010 has its own dedicated page for cheese, so redirecting "cheese" to "cv:cheese maker" back in 40d (hypothetically, since the multiple namespaces didn't happen until ''after'' DF2010) would have broken things. '''edit''' Found it - the guideline is [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Versions|here]]. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 21:11, 4 January 2011 (UTC) | I don't recall exactly where it's stated, but the current policy for redirects from the main namespace is that they should always point to the cv: namespace article '''of the same name''', and that the version-specific namespace should then redirect to whatever is appropriate.

:I'm not sure I understand this rule. "Cheese" shouldn't go to "cv:cheese maker" because old links to "Cheese" will take the user to "DF2010:Cheese maker"? The bit even mentions that links from old versions are automatically updated to add "40d:" behind them; wouldn't that go to "40d:Cheese" anyway and the changing of the "Cheese" redirect to "cv:Cheese maker" would have no affect? The explanation does not make sense to me. '''There needs to be a page with all the damned rules on them, because having the rules spread out over a dozen different pages makes people like me waste hours of time just to have it all reverted. This is one of the most disorganized wikis I've ever seen.''' --[[User:Gzalzi|Gzalzi]] 21:27, 4 January 2011 (UTC) | :I'm not sure I understand this rule.

− | ::The reason for "cheese" to not redirect to "cv:cheese maker" is because while it may have been acceptable for 40d (which did not have an actual "cheese" article), DF2010 '''does''' have a "cheese" article which people would then '''not see''' when searching because of the redirect going to the wrong page. As for all of the DF2010 redirects you marked for deletion, you also need to take into account the "article version" headers on each page - as an example, there are explicit pages for [[23a:Waterskin]] and [[40d:Waterskin]] (since military dwarves in those versions never use flasks of other materials), so deleting the redirect from [[DF2010:Waterskin]] to [[DF2010:Flask]] would break navigation between article versions. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 21:34 | + | ::The reason for "cheese" to not redirect to "cv:cheese maker" is because while it may have been acceptable for 40d (which did not have an actual "cheese" article), DF2010 '''does''' have a "cheese" article which people would then '''not see''' when searching because of the redirect going to the wrong page.
