Redirections[edit]

Please read Wiktionary:Redirections. On Wiktionary, we prefer to avoid using redirects. --EncycloPetey (talk) 05:54, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I read it before I made my edit. I think my edit was okay. Don't you? The Great Redirector (talk) 14:30, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think it was a good redirect. Redirects of "conversational forms" of proverbs (the forms people use in conversation, like second person) to lemma forms (infinitive impersonal) are as non-controversial as redirects get. But yes, we do tend to not use redirects for much else. - -sche (discuss) 17:15, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The particular redirect in question is probably OK, but the community could feel otherwise. My concern, and reason for posting, was prompted by the facts that (1) your first edit here was to create a redirect, and (2) your user name proclaims your redirectivity. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:24, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously I'm more active on Wikipedia than here. I'll stick to your redirect policy here, don't worry, and I'll be sure to ask first if I have any questions. The Great Redirector (talk) 08:46, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously.[edit]

Please do NOT create any more redirects without at least some form of discussion as to whether the redirect is necessary. Preferably this should take place on the talk page of the page that is being redirected to, or perhaps in the Tea Parlour. Redirects will in fact be deleted. --Neskaya … gawonisgv? 10:01, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You mean Wiktionary:Tea room? Anyway, I don't see why I need to ask first if the redirection is in fact in line with others on the site and the policy. The Great Redirector (talk) 08:46, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
