deleted redirect pages
Why delete all the redirect pages? SlipperyChunk87 (talk) 09:35, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Early on there were very few pages so any anomaly stood out.
Broken redirects, misspelled, duplicate pages...etc. were all deleted.
Some accurate redirects may have been caught in the crossfire at the time so feel free to add them if necessary.
For some notable people it may be understandable to include a redirect page for their other social media usernames,
to make it easy to find in the search tool.
But this will be moderated for abuse as some change their online name often.
•An example of a useful redirect is:
Mike_From_PA
His name is banned in DGG chat to stop users from posting his Twitter/Twitch.
Linking his wiki page would also punish chatters but to avoid this his name was added as the title,
redirecting to the original page.
