The correct page titles have a ":" where they currently have a " ". They use {{wrongtitle}} and were created before Appendix:Unsupported titles. I think we should move these pages to be subpages of Appendix:Unsupported titles (they are unsupported "prefixes"). --Bequw → τ 15:58, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Would the old titles redirect somehow? I guess it doesn't really matter, fwiw, as it's pretty hard to find them already, unless you know where to look. So, I abstain from any voting (which of course this isn't) \Mike 18:21, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

We would definitely update existing links to the new locations. Is it common to search for entries like these with the " "-for-":" substitution? If so it could be brought up at WT:REDIR. --Bequw → τ 14:51, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't think so, but then I have never seen them in any other online dictionaries, in particularly not one which cannot use ":" in search strings. And what a reader here would use if they found out that "v:a" didn't gave them what they were looking for, I don't know. I doubt anyone made any studies of that...

It strikes me that we might want to link to these entries from Appendix:Variations of "ga" etc. As they are linked from the term without the space, perhaps these would be more searchable? \Mike 04:28, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, linking to them from those Appendix pages, and other entries, is probably the best way to lead readers there. --Bequw → τ 13:39, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

No strong feelings, but move per nomination. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:10, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Moved. Left behind redirects. --Bequw → τ 02:48, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
