Wikisaurus sounds like a dinosaur

New name anyone?

Who doesn't like dinosaurs? — LlywelynII 04:07, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

I quite like the name myself. 131.203.249.158 20:47, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Redirect

There needs to be content here or, at minimum, a redirect. It's obvious that the root of Wikisaurus:toilet should be [[Wikisaurus]] and Wiktionary:Wikisaurus is an utterly bizarre kludge.

If the objection is that this is an entry namespace, then create an article on the proper noun but fer chrissakes stop deleting useful information. — LlywelynII 04:07, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.

Wikisaurus

It is questionable whether this mainspace to Wikisaurus redirect should have been created. Now that the project is called Thesaurus, it should be deleted anyway. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:51, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Keep as redirect to Thesaurus for benefit of those not familiar with the change who may remember Wikisaurus. DCDuring (talk) 05:44, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Delete. This is a classic bad redirect — though we may not have an entry now, we could in the future, and there are a couple citations (though for what seem to be different senses) in durably archived media already. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 05:11, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Was deleted before (en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Wikisaurus) and the reason "Bad redirection" should still apply. It shouldn't be too hard to type WT:Wikisaurus, WT:WS, WT:Thesaurus, *WT:TS? -84.161.59.236 15:38, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

It isn't difficult to TYPE; it's difficult to KNOW what to type the first time. DCDuring (talk) 18:44, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Either one knows the prefix "WT:" or "Wiktionary:", in which case it should be relatively easy to find WT:WS etc., or one doesn't know the prefix, in which case by the argument of finding the relevant WT page, the entries delete, deletion, remove too should point to WT:RFD, the entries verify, verification, attest, attestation to WT:RFV and so on. -84.161.2.104 05:32, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

• Delete. The mainspace is for dictionary content exclusively. Now that it's called Thesaurus, it should be mostly forgotten (except for historical purposes, I guess) that it was ever called Wikisaurus. The fact that the term "Wikisaurus" is even here sort of at first deceived me into thinking it might actually have an entry, and then after pressing Enter found out it wasn't. I don't think there's a good reason to include this. PseudoSkull (talk) 05:08, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
• Delete and leave a link to Wiktionary:Thesaurus in the deletion comment. Wikisaurus (talk) 17:12, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
