Looking back through the move log, in most of the recent cases where Jono has suppressed a redirect, it was because the original link was either a misspelling or improperly formatted. Therefore, no redirect would be needed because the page with the typo should be edited to link to the new page with the correct spelling. So, I see no problem in Jono's actions. Redirects should of course be kept when there is a commonly used ''alternate'' title for a page -- like [[Star Trek: New Voyages]] redirected to [[Star Trek: Phase II]], or [[James Tiberius Kirk]] to [[James T. Kirk]]. But why on earth would we keep mistakes? --{{User:TimPendragon/sig}} 03:54, 12 July 2009 (UTC) |
