Redirects

[edit]

I've not gotten much feedback on the auto-JS-redirection thing. Is it working for everyone these days? Last time that I got no feedback, it was because functionality was not working for all users (except myself) for over a month.

If this is working, and people think that this code is not "brittle," then perhaps it is time to consider mass-deleting the broken case-variant redirects. --Connel MacKenzie 03:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support deletion of borked case-variant redirects:

  3. Kill 'm all. — Vildricianus 10:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Nuke 'em. This was never a good way to handle these, and we've got better mechanisms now. —scs 13:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  5. What we have now is a better solution if not the final one and even if editing changed capitalization is still a problem that needs to be addressed. DAVilla 17:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose deletion of redirects:

From the last XML dump of 8/5/2006:

>s q=0 s x="" f  s x=$o(^wikir(x)) q:x=""  s id=$o(^(x,0)),n=^wiki2(id,"name") i $$lc^wiki(n)=$$lc^wiki(x) s q=q+1

gives q=63,193 redirects to be zapped. --Connel MacKenzie 07:36, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
