Purpose?[edit]

Hello, please could someone explain to me what this redirect is for? Many thanks in advance, greetings --birdy, das weltraumvogi (:> )=| 11:07, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Users with Firefox (I think Mozilla too...) can create so called "smart bookmarks" whereby one enters a code (such as wikt) + a search string in the adress bar, and is taken to the correct wikt: page. However, if no search string is given, it will by default search for %s. Redirecting this page to Main page gives these users easy access to the main page, and prevents dozens of visits to a page which really shouldn't have any other content, if you get what I mean... ;) \Mike 11:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

It was technically useful for Firefox users: w:Talk:%s. We are ready to delete it now. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 05:24, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. (Though really this belonged at RFD or RFDO.)​—msh210 (talk) 05:43, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
