The issue here is weather we should have redirects from former titles? This discussion is, to some extent, a contuation of the July 9, 2009 User talk:Jrofeta#Suppression of redirects--Emmette Hernandez Coleman 21:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

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. But why on earth would we keep mistakes? --TimPendragon AdmHail 03:54, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
