Redirects for discussion (RfD) is the place where potentially problematic redirects are discussed. Items usually stay listed for a week or so, after which they are deleted, kept, or retargeted.

• If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, do not list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!
• If you want to move a page but a redirect is in the way, do not list it here. For non-controversial cases, place a technical request; if a discussion is required, then start a requested move.
• If you think a redirect points to the wrong target article, this is a good place to discuss the proper target.
• Redirects should not be deleted just because they have no incoming links. Please do not use this as the only reason to delete a redirect. However, redirects that do have incoming links are sometimes deleted, so that is not a sufficient condition for keeping. (See § When to delete a redirect for more information.)

Please do not unilaterally rename or change the target of a redirect while it is under discussion. This adds unnecessary complication to the discussion for participants and closers.

Before listing a redirect for discussion

Please be aware of these general policies, which apply here as elsewhere:

• Wikipedia:Redirect – what redirects are, why they exist, and how they are used.
• Wikipedia:Speedy deletion – which pages can be deleted without discussion; in particular the "General" and "Redirects" sections.
• Wikipedia:Deletion policy – how we delete things by consensus.
• Wikipedia:Guide to deletion – guidelines on discussion format and shorthand.

The guiding principles of RfD

• The purpose of a good redirect is to eliminate the possibility that readers will find themselves staring blankly at "Search results 1–10 out of 378" instead of the article they were looking for. If someone could plausibly enter the redirect's name when searching for the target article, it's a good redirect.
• Redirects are cheap. They take up little storage space and use very little bandwidth. It doesn't really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around. On the flip side, deleting redirects is also cheap because recording the deletion takes up little storage space and uses very little bandwidth. There is no harm in deleting problematic redirects.
• If a good-faith RfD nomination proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, the default result is delete.
• Redirects nominated in contravention of Wikipedia:Redirect will be speedily kept.
• RfD can also serve as a central discussion forum for debates about which page a redirect should target. In cases where retargeting the redirect could be considered controversial, it is advisable to leave a notice on the talk page of the redirect's current target page or the proposed target page to refer readers to the redirect's nomination to allow input and help form consensus for the redirect's target.
• Requests for deletion of redirects from one page's talk page to another's do not need to be listed here. Anyone can remove the redirect by blanking the page. The G6 criterion for speedy deletion may be appropriate.
• In discussions, always ask yourself whether or not a redirect would be helpful to the reader.

When to delete a redirect

Further information: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Common outcomes and Wikipedia:Moving a page § Moving over a redirect

The major reasons why deletion of redirects is harmful are:

• a redirect may contain non-trivial edit history;
• if a redirect is reasonably old (or is the result of moving a page that has been there for quite some time), then it is possible that its deletion will break incoming links (such as links coming from older revisions of Wikipedia pages, from edit summaries, from other Wikimedia projects or from elsewhere on the internet, do not show up in "What links here").

Therefore consider the deletion only of either harmful redirects or of recent ones.

Reasons for deleting

See also: Wikipedia:Speedy deletion § Redirects

You might want to delete a redirect if one or more of the following conditions is met:

1. The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine. For example, if the user searches for "New Articles", and is redirected to a disambiguation page for "Articles" (itself a redirect to "Article"), it would take much longer to get to the newly added articles on Wikipedia.
2. The redirect might cause confusion. For example, if "Adam B. Smith" was redirected to "Andrew B. Smith", because Andrew was accidentally called Adam in one source, this could cause confusion with the article on Adam Smith, so the redirect should be deleted.
3. The redirect is offensive or abusive, such as redirecting "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" to "Joe Bloggs" (unless "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" is legitimately discussed in the article), or "Joe Bloggs" to "Loser". (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 may apply.) See also § Neutrality of redirects.
4. The redirect constitutes self-promotion or spam. (Speedy deletion criterion G11 may apply.)
5. The redirect makes no sense, such as redirecting "Apple" to "Banana". (Speedy deletion criterion G1 may apply.)
6. It is a cross-namespace redirect out of article space, such as one pointing into the User or Wikipedia namespace. The major exception to this rule are the pseudo-namespace shortcut redirects, which technically are in the main article space. Some long-standing cross-namespace redirects are also kept because of their long-standing history and potential usefulness. "MOS:" redirects, for example, were an exception to this rule until they became their own namespace in 2024. (Note also the existence of namespace aliases such as WP:. Speedy deletion criterion R2 may apply if the target namespace is something other than Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help:, or Portal:.)
7. If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects to an article that does not exist, it can be immediately deleted under speedy deletion criterion G8. You should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first and that it has not become broken through vandalism.
8. If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target, it is unlikely to be useful. In particular, redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created. (Implausible typos or misnomers are candidates for speedy deletion criterion R3, if recently created.) The message template {{subst:not mentioned}} may be useful.
9. If the target article needs to be moved to the redirect title, but the redirect has been edited before and has a history of its own, then the title needs to be freed up to make way for the move. If the move is uncontroversial, tag the redirect for G6 speedy deletion, or alternatively (with the suppressredirect user right; available to page movers and admins), perform a round-robin move. If not, take the article to Requested moves.
10. If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.
11. If the redirect ends in "(disambiguation)" but does not target a disambiguation page or a page performing a disambiguation-like function (such as a set index of articles). Speedy deletion criterion G14 may apply.

Reasons for not deleting

However, avoid deleting such redirects if:

1. They have a potentially useful page history, or an edit history that should be kept to comply with the licensing requirements for a copy or merge (see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and Wikipedia:Merge and delete). On the other hand, if the redirect was created by renaming a page with that name, and the page history just mentions the renaming, and for one of the reasons above you want to delete the page, copy the page history to the Talk page of the article it redirects to. The act of renaming is useful page history, and even more so if there has been discussion on the page name.
2. They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc. In other words, redirects with no incoming links are not candidates for deletion on those grounds because they are of benefit to the browsing user. Some extra vigilance by editors will be required to minimize the occurrence of those frequent misspellings in article text because the linkified misspellings will not appear as broken links; consider tagging the redirect with the {{R from misspelling}} template to assist editors in monitoring these misspellings.
3. They aid searches on certain terms. For example, users who might see the "Keystone State" mentioned somewhere but do not know what that refers to will be able to find out at the Pennsylvania (target) article.
4. Deleting redirects runs the risk of breaking incoming or internal links. For example, redirects resulting from page moves should not normally be deleted without good reason. Links that have existed for a significant length of time, including CamelCase links (e.g. WolVes) and old subpage links, should be retained in case there are any existing links on external pages pointing to them. Please tag these with {{R from old history}}. See also Wikipedia:Link rot § Link rot on non-Wikimedia sites.
5. Someone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. You might not find it useful—this is not because the other person is being untruthful, but because you browse Wikipedia in different ways. Evidence of usage can be gauged by using the wikishark or pageviews tool on the redirect to see the number of views it gets.
6. The redirect is to a closely related word form, such as a plural form to a singular form.

Neutrality of redirects

Just as article titles using non-neutral language are permitted in some circumstances, so are such redirects. Because redirects are less visible to readers, more latitude is allowed in their names, therefore perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is not a sufficient reason for their deletion. In most cases, non-neutral but verifiable redirects should point to neutrally titled articles about the subject of the term. Non-neutral redirects may be tagged with {{R from non-neutral name}}.

Non-neutral redirects are commonly created for three reasons:

1. Articles that are created using non-neutral titles are routinely moved to a new neutral title, which leaves behind the old non-neutral title as a working redirect (e.g. ClimategateClimategate → Climatic Research Unit email controversy).
2. Articles created as POV forks may be deleted and replaced by a redirect pointing towards the article from which the fork originated (e.g. Barack Obama Muslim rumorBarack Obama Muslim rumor → deleted and now redirected to Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories).
3. The subject matter of articles may be represented by some sources outside Wikipedia in non-neutral terms. Such terms are generally avoided in Wikipedia article titles, per the words to avoid guidelines and the general neutral point of view policy. For instance the non-neutral expression "AttorneygateAttorneygate" is used to redirect to the neutrally titled 2006 dismissal of U.S. attorneys. The article in question has never used that title, but the redirect was created to provide an alternative means of reaching it because a number of press reports use the term.

The exceptions to this rule are redirects that are not established terms and are unlikely to be useful, and therefore may be nominated for deletion, perhaps under deletion reason #3. However, if a redirect represents an established term that is used in multiple mainstream reliable sources, it should be kept even if non-neutral, as it will facilitate searches on such terms. Please keep in mind that RfD is not the place to resolve most editorial disputes.

Closing notes

Details at Administrator instructions for RfD

Nominations should remain open, per policy, about a week before they are closed, unless they meet the general criteria for speedy deletion, the criteria for speedy deletion of a redirect, or are not valid redirect discussion requests (e.g. are actually move requests).

How to list a redirect for discussion

STEP I.	Tag the redirect(s).   Enter {{subst:rfd|content= at the very beginning of the redirect page you are listing for discussion and enter }} at the very end of the page. Please include in the edit summary the phrase: Nominated for RfD: see [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]]. Please do not mark the edit as minor (m). Save the page ("Publish changes"). If you are unable to edit the redirect page because of protection, this step can be omitted, and after step 2 is completed, a request to add the RFD template can be put on the redirect's talk page. If the redirect you are nominating is in template namespace, consider adding |showontransclusion=1 to the RfD tag so that people using the template redirect are aware of the nomination. If it is an inline template, use |showontransclusion=tiny instead. If you are nominating multiple redirects as a group, repeat all the above steps for each redirect being nominated and specify on {{rfd}} the nomination's group heading from Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion
STEP II.	List the entry on RfD.  Click here to edit the section of RfD for today's entries. Enter this text below the date heading: {{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName|target=TargetArticle|text=The action you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for that action.}} ~~~~ For this template: Put the redirect's name in place of RedirectName, put the target article's name in place of TargetArticle, and include a reason after text=. Note that, for this step, the "target article" is the current target of the redirect (if you have a suggestion for a better target, include this in the text that you insert after text=). Please use an edit summary such as: Nominating [[RedirectName]] (replacing RedirectName with the name of the redirect you are nominating). To list multiple related redirects for discussion, use the following syntax. Repeat line 2 for N number of redirects: {{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName1|target=TargetArticle1}} {{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectName2|target=TargetArticle2}} {{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectNameN|target=TargetArticleN|text=The actions you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for those actions.}} ~~~~ If the redirect has had previous RfDs, you can add {{Oldrfdlist|previous RfD without brackets|result of previous RfD}} directly after the rfd2 template. If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.
STEP III.	Notify users.   It is generally considered good practice to notify the creator and main contributors of the redirect(s) that you nominate. To find the main contributors, look in the page history of the respective redirect(s). For convenience, the template {{subst:Rfd notice|RedirectName}} ~~~~ may be placed on the creator/main contributors' user talk page to provide notice of the discussion. Please replace RedirectName with the name of the respective creator/main contributors' redirect and use an edit summary such as: Notice of redirect discussion at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]]. Notices about the RfD discussion may also be left on relevant talk pages.

• Please consider using What links here to locate other redirects that may be related to the one you are nominating. After going to the redirect target page and selecting "What links here" in the toolbox on the left side of your computer screen, select both "Hide transclusions" and "Hide links" filters to display the redirects to the redirect target page.

President Bill

• President Bill → Bill Clinton  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Probably an implausible search term instead of a more plausible President Clinton, especially considering "Bill" is such a common name. Like President of what? The United States, another place or organization? Similar RFDS: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 December 17#President Donald, Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 December 26#Donald President, Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 November 26#President Joe. This is also probably less plausible, and even more ambiguous as the others as some could be searching for presidents better known by the common full name for "Bill" ("William") like William Henry Harrison, William McKinley, or even William Howard Taft, which I was able to find a source supporting his nickname as "Big Bill", even if one of them was unreliable: , . Servite et contribuere (talk) 02:53, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

FWIW, here are the results I get from https://www.google.com/search?q=%22President+Bill%22+-%22President+Bill+Clinton%22 (adding additional exclusions as I go) before it descends into finding random coincidences (e.g. "[...] president. Bill […]"):

• The brand name of a series of CB radios (see e.g. , , , , ), presumably named after Clinton
• The redirect page we're discussing
• Multiple webpages describing Bill Johnson (university president)
• Another university president, this one without a Wikipedia article:
• After about two pages of links, mostly to CB radio websites, eventually some direct mentions of Clinton: ,
• President Bill: a Graphic Epic by Brown, William L.: (see also )
• Illustrated pretend currency, e.g. ,
• A webpage about William H. Sanders, yet another university president

Note that I am in the US, which likely biases my search results.

This redirect is the result of Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/XXV_Indian_Corps which redirected the unsourced one line stub. It's unclear to me if the XXV Corps described at the target was ever known as "Indian" or was considered part of the British Indian Army.

• William Shakespeare's Hamlet → Hamlet  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete. This is the title of a non-notable album, PRODded a year-ish before the creation of the redirect, resulting in a red link, which was then incorrectly targeted to the play. As I mentioned elsewhere, redirects of this form are generally inappropriate, both because of PANDORA implications, but also because people tend to title specific adaptations of works like this, such as William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar (the one under discussion now), William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Frank Herbert's Dune, etc. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 22:04, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

Subjugation was recently changed to a Wiktionary soft redirect from the original target of Slavery. However, the related words Subjugate and Subjugated still redirect to Slavery. Should they be made consistent? Note that "Subjugation" can also refer to a song from The Avengers (soundtrack), and "Subjugated" can also refer to a song from One Shot (album).

Delete as there is no information on this term at the target section #Linux (where the anchor BLKMQ leads to) or anywhere else on enwiki. I also searched for block, assuming that is what blk stands for. There is a one-word mention of "Multi-Queue" as a feature in the 1.2.1 version, which I don't see as sufficient to match the redirects. Jay 12:23, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Jarona

• Jarona → List of Undertale and Deltarune characters#Flowery  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Split off from WP:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2026_October_12#Giasfclfebrehber; I propose retargeting this to Gerona as a homophone and plausible typo.In solidarity, PokemonPerson (talk) 16:51, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

Delete, or alternatively weak keep. I was nominator for the previous discussion, and my original rationale was delete for this since it was unmentioned at target.

Now, I would say that the suggested target is not good. "Jarona" already has an entry in the page, and it's not the best to redirect a non-vague term to a disambiguation page. For that, if there is no consensus to delete, I would prefer the status quo. If anything, we can add a hatnote to #Flowery. ⚙ Crash >> Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 17:15, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

Keep. "Jarona" is a very commonly used word in the Deltarune community, and I could absolutely picture someone who is not in the community looking it up. I don't believe Gerona is a reasonable target for this redirect, and I can't see it being reasonable, even if the word "Jarona" did not exist. While there are people with the surname "Jarona", none of them currently have an article on Wikipedia, so there would be no reasonable target. At most, Gerona could be linked on the Flowery section of the target article. Ksp-atlas (talk) 15:15, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

Donald Trump criminal redirects

• Trump (convicted felon) → Donald Trump  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
• Inmate P01135809 → Donald Trump  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete both. Non-neutral and extremely unlikely search terms. I'd argue that many, if not most, redirects to Donald Trump range in utility from questionable to nearly impossible, likely due to the WP:TRUMPCRUFT effect, but I'm not going to nominate them all at once in order to prevent a WP:TRAINWRECK. ~2026-51743-41 (talk) 16:03, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

• Delete Trump (convicted felon). Trump's status as a convicted felon is verified and is hence a plausible redirect, but it should be Donald Trump (convicted felon) instead. Surname is pointless as a redirect since there could be other people with the surname who committed felons and are convicted, regardless if they are related to Donald in anyway. Keep Inmate P01135809 as it is a plausible alternative name with sufficient coverage. Go D. Usopp (talk) 16:13, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

  Trump is a convicted felon, but he's not particularly notable for it. Someone searching for these terms would be more likely to be searching for information on Trump's criminal charges, which is present on his page, but so is a ton of other stuff. ~2026-51743-41 (talk) 16:28, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

  @~2026-51743-41 redirects do not need to be notable, which is why their requirements to be kept are much less stringent than articles and even drafts. If it relates to the article's content and is relevant, its sufficiently notable for a redirect. Go D. Usopp (talk) 16:34, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep both. Redirects can have POV (WP:RNEUTRAL). For Trump (convicted felon) keep as R from non-neutral name, shortening, and other disambiguator, and keep Inmate P01135809 per above. ⚙ Crash >> Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 17:40, 24 October 2026 (UTC)
• Delete both. The disambiguator is a wildly implausible way to search. Mayyyyybe if it pointed somewhere very specific, but even so, without a first name, it's completely pointless. The second is random trivia that is, again, wildly implausible. That anyone would need either of these to find the target is laughable. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:58, 24 October 2026 (UTC)
• Weak delete Trump (convicted felon) per this comment in another RfD from 25 Oct.

Canadiens

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

• Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 May 19 § Canadiens – keep

• Canadiens → French Canadians  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I am doubtful on whether French Canadians is the primary topic of the term "Canadiens" among anglophones at large. While there was a previous discussion for this specific redirect 12 years ago, it seems woefully deficient in multiple ways:

• The discussion did not properly address whether the word "Canadiens" itself more commonly means either the hockey team or the ethnic group within the anglosphere, whether via arguments based on usage data, arguments based on where and how often would a general audience would be exposed to each meaning of "Canadiens" in daily life, etc.
• It doesn't address properly how much "Canadiens" is even used by Anglophones anymore to refer to French Canadians after the emergence of e.g. "French Canadians". Statements in the French Canadians article like "referred to as Canadiens mainly before the nineteenth century" (emphasis mine) need to be addressed, because a problem arises if the usage of "Canadiens" for French Canadians turns out to be on its way out.
• Global anglosphere reach of the meanings of "Canadiens" was not properly addressed. The fact that the Montreal Canadiens often play against teams representing faraway and foreign anglophone locations generally annually (and for a century now), and has sent multiple players to the Olympics (obviously a global event) gives the team a big headstart over the "French-Canadian" meaning (which I am not sure is even known in e.g. the southern or western United States, or even Western Canada) on these grounds.

Given these deficiencies, a fresh discussion is warranted. My first preference is a disambiguation page, by the way. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (Goodbye!) 18:51, 14 October 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget to Canadien (disambiguation), or possibly split that dab with its plurals replacing the redirect. Montreal Canadiens gets four times as many page views as French Canadians, and ten times as many page views as the other entries on that dab combined, so a primary redirect doesn't seem justified. Certes (talk) 20:12, 14 October 2026 (UTC)

  Should we add Canadien to this nomination as well? Having Canadien as a primary redirect, but not Canadiens, is not necessarily the best outcome here. 162 etc. (talk) 21:07, 14 October 2026 (UTC)

  CanadienCanadien may be worth discussing but it's likely to be correct already, as the ice hockey team is referred to mainly in the plural and the other meanings aren't popular. (Parti canadien gets the second most views, one twentieth of French Canadians.) Certes (talk) 21:24, 14 October 2026 (UTC)

  I'm not finding any evidence that "CanadienCanadien" is used in English to refer to French Canadians (except perhaps historically – if we are to believe the lead of that article; the usage is cited to an offline source that I can't verify), nor that there is any significant usage of the singular form referring to the ice hockey team, and would be strongly tempted to suggest moving the dab page to the base name. But that probably ought to be discussed as a separate RM rather than here. Rosbif73 (talk) 12:39, 15 October 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget to the disambiguation page and modify the led of the dab to mention the hockey team — in the Canada-adjacent anglosphere, the hockey team is one of the primary topics that comes to mind more commonly than the ethnic group. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 21:44, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
• Retarget to Montreal Canadiens as primary topic for the plural, well ahead of French Canadians in all but historic use. I'm based in France and I would have expected a search for "canadiens" -wikipedia to bring up hits relating to Canadian people, but in fact even in this primarily French-language context all the hits on the first 10 pages (I stopped checking after that) relate to the hockey team and I had to add -hockey to see other uses of the term.

• Retarget to Montreal Canadiens, by far the primary topic, especially as referred to by English speakers. This one feels like a no-brainer. If, one day far in the future, the team no longer exists, maybe this could be revisited, but for now and the foreseeable future, this is what it refers to in English. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:52, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to Montreal Canadiens. I feel like it is a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. And considering this is the English Wikipedia, most English speakers searching for French Canadians would just type in the article title or something like that. I would also like to note that on the French Wikipedia as an example, Canadiens is a redirect to Canadien, which is a DAB page, and the article on Canadians (titled in French: "Canadiens") is titled "Canadiens (peuple)" which would translate to "Canadians (people). Evidence: , , . In French for example, I don't see a primary topic due to the significant French population in Quebec, but I do see a primary topic for this spelling in English speaking communities which I think is the Ice Hockey team.

メタルギアソリッ

• メタルギアソリッ → Metal Gear Solid (video game)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

In Japanese, ending a title with ッ is unlikely. In this redirect, ド is missing at the end, so the correct form is "メタルギアソリッド". So in this case, this redirect is implausible and should be deleted. Note this is the only redirect ending with "ッ" besides "ッ" itself. Mathguy2718 (talk) 05:37, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

About a couple dozen mainspace uses have been fixed; delete the redirect per precedent. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 01:33, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

• Question: What precedent are you referring to? Remember that most people drawn here because they have the page on their watchlist or because of an interest in the subject of (in this case) William Shakespeare will (like me) not be regulars at RFD and will have no idea what precedents are recognised here, unless you explain it or link to it. I imagine the same would be true of any other subject. AndyJones (talk) 11:49, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

  Fair question! Redirects of the form "Noun's", that include the 's. There've been so many of these, I don't actually even know where to look to find any of the previous discussions (maybe another of the regulars would have them jotted down), but the consensus has been that these are harmful because they enable a disfavored linking style (e.g. in this case, [[William Shakespeare's]] instead of the preferred [[William Shakespeare]]'s, with the possessive outside the link). There have been a few MOS discussions about this, with consensus that including the 's should not be included in the link (without specific reason), since it tends to indicate the link is for things belonging to, or related to, the article topic, rather than the subject of the article itself.

• William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar → Julius Caesar (1953 film)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

While this is the film's official extended title, it's commonly referred to as just Julius Caesar, plus I feel that those using this search term are more likely to be looking for the actual play rather than this specific adaptation. Mr slav999 (talk) 21:25, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep (for now at least). The article was at the short title from 2005 to 2022, when it was moved to the longer title. Nominator just moved it back today. Given the length of time and how recently it was moved, I don't think any change is warranted. Given the back and forth moves, I'd also suggest an WP:RM to get wider input on the article title. Either way, this is an implausible search term for the actual play. Only two such other plays have similar redirects, a bunch for Romeo and Juliet, but those all redirect to the Baz Lurhman film, for similar reasons, and one for Hamlet, but that should probably be deleted too. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 21:52, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

  I didn't do an RM because I thought this would probably be an uncontroversial move. Mr slav999 (talk) 10:18, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

• Weak move to Julius Caesar (play) . The redirect is called "WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S Julius Caesar.". Did Shakespeare make the 1953 film? Absolutely not. Magikarp fan, Arenghtqru888 lol ( hopefully I don't get trouted...) 13:37, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

  Did you mean a retarget instead of a move?

It's linked from that article: "...a secret attic room in her home used to conceal a disabled family member from elite society, otherwise known as a "disappointment room"."

While a sick room was a standard element in large houses in the 19th century, and these may have been used to confine some disabled people (attic rooms and bedrooms were), Google Books shows me only fiction for the name "disappointment room", and all of that postdating this film.

Delete, not a particularly plausible way to search for The Disappointments Room, with two differences.

Keep "hydro line" is the common Canadian English term for an electric power transmission line. It's a lot more common than other usages of "hydro line" worldwide.

Keep Topic-Sensitive PageRank, retarget Topic Sensitive PageRank and Topic Sensitive Page Rank to PageRank, delete TSPR.

• It's easy to find sources saying that "cyber service" means virtual volunteering, so if it is retargeted, we should add a hatnote. Disambiguation is an option. Oppose retargeting to List of computer security companies, which is certainly too narrow a topic (cybersecurity as opposed to online services in general).

  • It's easy to find sources saying that "cyber service" means virtual volunteering
    It largely depends on the scenario here. In this case, cybersecurity seems more applicable here. Search results yield sources pertaining to said topic. In addition, "cyberservice" is a used initialism for "cybersecurity services".
    Neither of the titles under discussion mention security.
    May you provide some further context to this part of your rationale here? I'm having a bit trouble understanding what you're fully saying, as the articles I mentioned both cover security (although I will say that "Cybersecurity" is more informative about it than "List of computer security companies").

@LazyLune: The two redirects under discussion are "Cyberservices" and "Cyber service". Neither of those are about security. Cybersecurity services are a small subset of online services in general, so it doesn't make sense to redirect either of these to a page about cybersecurity services. —Mx.

• Retarget to Network service? Cyber and network (in this context) are roughly synonmyous so I can see the connection.

I think that we should keep "cyber service" (with the space) pointing to virtual volunteering.

About "not mentioned": The rule at WP:RFD#DELETE #8 is to consider deletion if it's not mentioned at the target and it's "a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name". Redirects should not be deleted if the connection to the subject is obvious to most people, or if the redirect is correct but not appropriate for inclusion in the article, such as {{R from brand name}}.

In this case, I think we can safely assume that ordinary internet users will not think that "cyber" is "a novel or very obscure synonym" for "virtual", and that they will not be confused by "service" referring to "volunteering" (especially if they grow up in a school that requires them to perform hours of Community service).

These were silently retargeted here per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 May 26#Shamone with the comment I'm redirecting the "ch" variants as well, despite both commenters not expressing an opinion on them. If there's any objection to that feel free to re-nominate them separately. Well, I object. It makes absolutely no sense for Wikipedia to have a redirect to Wiktionary from a term that Wiktionary itself doesn't have a page on; if the spelling variation were truly important, Wiktionary, which is supposed to have lower standards in this area than us, would have noted it.

• Keep I'm usually skeptical of Wiktionary redirects, but as long as we do something for this phrase, it makes sense to be generous with the spelling. I'm not even sure there's an "official" one, and ch- rather than sh- is reasonable. --BDD (talk) 21:06, 11 October 2026 (UTC)

  Chamone and cha'mone are both used at Bo' Selecta!, and clips from the show on YouTube also use "ch" spellings. The show may have contributed to the popularity of these spellings.

  However, Chamone is also an unrelated surname so traffic to that redirect may be from mixed sources. Wikipedia doesn't appear to have any articles about people with this surname, but there are few mentions in articles (eg. 9 Horses mentions someone called "Rafael Chamone") – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 21:23, 11 October 2026 (UTC)

2020 UK general election

• 2020 UK general election → Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011#2017 general election  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

• Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 May 2 § 2020 UK general election – no consensus

This redirect was created in 2015 when it was thought that the next UK election would be in 2020 under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011, but an early election was called in 2017, so that an election was no longer expected in 2020. There was then a discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 May 2#2020 UK general election, in which it was decided to retarget this redirect to Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011#2017 general election, because that section effectively explained why there was no longer to be an election in 2020. However, the target article has been extensively rewritten since the repeal of this Act in 2022, and the section in question no longer exists. Moreover, it is no longer the case that anyone is going to be wondering why there will not be an election in 2020, since that date has long passed without an election. It seems merely confusing having a reference coming up to a 2020 election in the search bar when there was no such election, and I cannot see what useful purpose this now serves. I would therefore propose deleting this redirect. Dionysodorus (talk | contribs) 12:00, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget back to 2017 United Kingdom general election. The previous RfD resulted in no consensus, the retarget happened subsequent to that discussion. I !voted to keep in that discussion because that page explains that the date of the 2017 election was originally scheduled for 2020. That explanation remains: Under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 an election had not been due until 1 May 2020. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:51, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

Creator here: I made this redirect in 2025. At the time, I was hurriedly making redirects that had even a minor chance of being related. I don't particularly care about this redirect anymore, though I will defend it slightly by saying that "ooga booga" is inherently tied to cavemen and (barring the occasional racist every now and then) most people will imagine a caveman.

@Tavix, is putting a hatnote on a soft redirect allowed? I agree that's the best option if it's the case. There have been a few other RfDs wherein I've felt the best primary target was Wiktionary, but thought that targeting there would preclude linking to disambiguation; so, would be useful to know if soft redirects can have hatnotes. 9ninety (talk) 05:04, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

@Tavix and 9ninety: Soft redirects, including specialized soft redirects, are still bound by the conventions of regular redirection (especially in the mainspace). Thus, they should not contain any content except the redirect itself (soft redirects should not even have rcats, which make them more restrictive than regular redirects). All that being said, it would not be appropriate to have a hatnote on a soft redirect (as that would make it a pseudo-dab). If any such redirects currently exist with hatnotes, they are {{wiktionary redirect}}s (by far the largest group of soft redirects to sister sites; I am unaware of them but have not sorted through that particular subgroup) and exist technically in error. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 08:00, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

I feel like this calls for an WP:IAR exception. With a normal redirect to another Wikipedia page, the you can have a {{redirect}} hatnote at the target. However, this is not possible for a cross-wiki redirect to Wiktionary. So, there are cases where the best primary target is Wiktionary (or another site), but you still need a hatnote to a dab page or another target. I think it should be acceptable to include a hatnote on the soft redirect in these cases, as including it at the target is not an option. 9ninety (talk) 08:13, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Courtesy ping @Godsy. 9ninety (talk) 08:14, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

@9ninety: I am afraid I must disagree as someone who works in the space of soft redirection quite heavily. If IAR is indeed necessary, then the page title should be redirected to the local target and a hatnote to wikt: should be added there. Local targets always take preference if they are worthy in actuality. A {{wiktionary}} template can already be added to any article in the appropriate place. 'Franken-dabs', if you will (which also suits the current holiday), are never a good idea. Of the first 200 wiktionary redirects (of ~2,200) in the aforementioned category, only 6/200 incorrectly contained hatnotes. That is 3%. Assuming that trend were to hold (If I had to guess, I would say that is slightly higher than the actual rate), it is certainly not something that should be perpetuated through explicit endorsement here. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 08:37, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

@Godsy: It wouldn't be a 'franken-dab'; it would be a WP:primary redirect with a hatnote; ideally, the hatnote would be at the target, but in the absence of that possibility, placing it on the redirect seems like a reasonable compromise. Yes, redirects normally don't contain any content, but I don't see the point in indiscriminately enforcing this in cases which could reasonably warrant an exception. That's why we have the IAR policy. Also, wrt endorsement, the general principle of WP:NOTPANDORA applies. 9ninety (talk) 09:49, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

@9ninety: Soft redirects exist for cases when technical limitations prevent us from a true (i.e. hard) redirect. There is also an arguable case to made that it is a good idea to let a reader know when they are being directed to a sister site (hence the expanded text from {{soft redirect}}, which itself is unused in the mainspace). That excepted, we would hard redirect this if it were possible and a hatnote would then be untenable anyway. If a hatnote to a local target is warranted, then the page should not be soft redirect to a non-local page but rather a hard redirect to the local target itself. The nature of a primary topic (and thereby primary redirect) only applies to things with an encyclopedic scope; redirects to sister sites inherently imply a less-than-enyclopedic scope, meaning they do not factor into that consideration. This is the same reason that we would not convert it into a true disambiguation. Given that the lowercase version is a distinct topic from the capitalized incarnation, a soft redirect to wikt: without a hatnote may be due.— Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 10:05, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Fan Song

• Fan-song → S-75 Dvina  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

These two redirects should have the same target, but I know nothing about the topic of radar technology, so I'm not sure what it should be. Or maybe the target should be Fan labor or Filk music? Or maybe Fan § Music? –CopperyMarrow15 (talk · edits) 03:33, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

I think the two ways to solve this would be either to make a disambiguation page, but I'm not sure there would be enough articles that relate to that title, and the option I personally like more is that both should redirect to the SNR-75. Feel free to correct me though on the topic of there not being enough articles to make a disambiguation, and then if there is like one or two articles, I would just add the for template to the SNR-75 article.

Actually looking at it again, I think the Fan-song should be a disambiguation page, even if there's only a few articles, and Fan Song to redirect to SNR-75 as that's the way the NATO reporting name of the radar is written. Thanks for noticing this and bringing this up by the way. 12030123O9 (talk) 06:25, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

I didn't actually want to create these, earlier this year a new user began moving all Polish railway line articles to these ambiguous names, I was just moving them back but at the time didn't have the page mover right so redirects were created every time.

Sure, but does that mean that the English readers will look them up in the same format? That they won't use railway line 3 or similar instead? --Joy (talk) 21:12, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

Monisha

• Monisha → Monisha Unni  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I don't think the target is primary, considering Monisha Blessy and Monisha Kaltenborn. However, I'm putting this at RfD instead of RM despite the existence of Monisha (disambiguation) because that page isn't helpful, as the dab page doesn't mention other people with the given name. I am requesting that the redirect be replaced by a given name page listing all of the people with the given name "Monisha", with a see also to Monisha En Monalisa, and the links updated. If the target turns out to be the primary topic, though, Monisha (given name) should be created, so a given name page should exist regardless. Mathguy2718 (talk) 06:27, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

Alternative journalism

Maybe this should be deleted. Doesn't redirecting users linking to alternative journalism to specifically left-wing alternative media in the United States seem both US-centric (it's the anglophone Wikipedia, not the American Wikipedia) and biased toward the left-wing, but the article it directs to is a list with longstanding issues, not an actual article on the concept of phenomenon of alternative journalism (an important subject in our time, in my opinion). Of course, it could also be converted into an actual article on the subject, and the listicle it redirects to deleted (without prejudice). 1101 (talk) 06:26, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

I still lean delete (especially with creator support for a G7), it's a bit awkward grammatically even if it does make sense - and there's still the problem of a potential 'films set in vietnam' list, which does not exist right now but could in the future, which sets up an WP:XY problem.

• Keep redirect to PR Newswire. U.S. Newswire was historically a separate business, but that alone does not establish the need for a standalone article. The sources presented so far do not demonstrate significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent secondary sources as required by WP:NCORP. Its history and acquisition can be summarized in PR Newswire#History, with this title redirecting there. If sufficient independent coverage is identified, a standalone article could be reconsidered. Pomisthebest (talk) 13:28, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

  This does not address the fact that the history of the article brings mention to a completely different company under the name "PR Newswire" with a completely different history from the company we have an article on.

  No. I have no idea how or why so many people are using the incorrect template, and the majority of these requests are some sort of COI request. To make sure that this doesn't cause more damage than the {{Request edit}} discussion did and if consensus moves against a retarget, I suggest that if we can't retarget, then we could program a bot to go through the open transclusions and those that mention COI could be changed.

• Oppose per Myceteae, and suggest that the whole batch of similar names be in one RFD rather than doing this piecemeal (as the history indicates they were sorted at a prior time altogether). I am unsympathetic to supporting AIs on this point. If pages are ending up the wrong request queue that is easily sorted just by changing the relevant template where it occurs. Izno (talk) 01:50, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

  It is. If we don't change the redirect, then we could simply make its own template with different results. I suppose it has the syntax (for use in source code mode) of {{edit request|protection=(protection level)|answered=(yes/no) where 'protection' is whatever the protection level i. If a protection level is set, then it shows the correct template. If it is left unused, then it's displayed as a COI template. It would also be added to the correct queue. COI could also be a valid answer for a COI request, and we could have AnomieBOT or something clean up any requests with no mention of having the COI by auto-closing with the template {{subst:ESp|hr}}.

  Oh, typo fixes: i--> is, I suppose it has --> I think it should have. Theeverywhereperson talk here ^{In solidarity!} 13:57, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

  Something like this seems reasonable. This would still allow it to serve as a handy way to identify probable AI-generated prompts while sorting the current rash of these into the best category and having a logical name for editors who might stumble across this in the future and would, reasonably, not expect a generic name like {{Edit request}} to apply to the narrow COI use case. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 21:28, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

  Yeah. I think that it was a good suggestion on my part for the AnomieBOT auto-close for unprotected, non-COI requests as it kind of encourages new editors to be bold in their edits. I think here we could close as 'made it's own template', and someone could volunteer to code it. (someone needs to relist this. We're probably not done, and need a couple more opinions.) (When assessing my position, it is to make it its own template, not retarget.) Theeverywhereperson talk here ^{In solidarity!} 14:18, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

• Templatify (or turn into a template, whatever you want to call it) – if we're getting a lot of use of this specific template, we probably shouldn't just target one of the edit request levels. I like the idea of turning it into its own template and either making a maintenance category that editors can patrol or having it auto detect protection levels. I lean towards the former, as if this is mostly being used for COI requests, it may flag some COI requests as protected requests because the article is protected at some level.

• Maybe make it a new template with a "reason" parameter that can be "coi", "semi-protected", "ec-protected", or "expert-requested". It could show a red message if the parameter isn't filled in, so requesters can tell if they're making a mistake. Jruderman (talk) 07:57, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

• If I'm not mistaken, this should be a keep. Doesn't Template:Edit protected, as well as all the others like {{TPER}} and {{FPER}}, automatically sense the protection level of the subject page?

Theeverywhereperson talk here ^{In solidarity!} Theeverywhereperson talk here ^{In solidarity!} 05:43, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

It appears that the /doc pages need some tweaking. Template {{Edit request}} is a general redirect that targets a general "edit protected" template, which does automatically sense the protection level of the talk page's subject page. So this redirect should stay right where it is. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 05:53, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Why should {{Edit request}} and {{Request edit}} go to different places? meamemg (talk) 20:03, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Both {{Edit request}} and {{Request edit}} should redirect to the {{Edit protected}} template. This RfD is only about the {{Edit request}} redirect. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 01:41, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

However, I've noticed that it should convert to a COI request if the page is not protected, because for some reason it defaults to semi when it's not. Theeverywhereperson talk here ^{In solidarity!} 05:22, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

There's a concept here somewhere, but it's not really discussed in enough depth to warrant a redirect. The sole mention at the target is the throwaway sentence Within a psychological context demons may be used as metaphors for inner psychological processes ("inner demons"). in the lead with no body support.

Flood disaster

• Flood disaster → Flood  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Awkward/implausible search term. Compare tornado disaster, hurricane disaster, etc. Note that Flood Disaster (film) exists and is WP:MISPLACED * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:12, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

I feel like "flood disaster" is more plausible/natural than tornado disaster or hurricane disaster, and indeed it is actually used a couple of times in the flood article itself. The North Sea flood of 1953 is also known as the Flood Disaster according to the lead (and there's a redirect from Flood Disaster 1953), and the term is also used at Flood Disaster Medal and several other places like flood management (3 times), 1931 Chinese floods (translated name), Clydach Vale § 1910 flood disaster, Wakayama Prefecture § 1953 flood disaster, Santa Paula Airport § 2005 flood disaster, and David Idris Zacharias § 2012 flood disaster.

Therefore, this seems like a plausible term to me, and should probably just be kept, with a hatnote to the film. 9ninety (talk) 04:18, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

• Delete. Harmlessness isn't enough to keep; there has to be some plausible utility to it, but it's hard to see how this would be useful. Not only that, as pointed out in the nomination, this one is harmful, getting in the way of the film (which should be moved to the base title anyway). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 06:28, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  How is there not plausible utility, when a flood can, in fact, be a disaster? Of course, not all floods are disasters, so how else would you distinguish one that is from one that isn't except to use some combination of these words? BD2412 T 12:08, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  It's unclear what anyone searching for "flood disaster" would want, or what we would send them to. As already pointed out, it's not how English speakers generally refer to floods, whether or not they're disasters, just like "earthquake disaster", etc. If nothing else, one can only assume that they're looking for something more specific, or different from, just flood, in which case, sending them to flood is unhelpful and even misleading. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 14:57, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  @Deacon Vorbis: Perhaps I can persuade you with citations to abundant real-world usage of the phrase in scholarly literature. For example:

Generic title for an album actually titled Classics II, whereas we have an article on a different album Classics Volume Two, also stylized as Classics, Vol. 2. Retarget to the album article, or make this a disambig?

The redirect page has merge content history, and many incoming links to the current target. Maybe move the redirect page to Classics Vol 02 (Era album), which doesn't have history, and was the prior title of the page, and fix the incoming links? If looking for an alternate move target, Classics II cannot be a redirect title, as it's an article on another album. Jay 18:09, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

Comment: I may have added {{R with history}} incorrectly here, I just added it because there was history as an article, not because it was being used anywhere or was worth keeping for some reason. (If there is actually merge content history then never mind) – Mullafacation『talk』 16:45, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

• According to Māori Maps, Mahuhu ki te Rangi is an alternative name for Te Riingi Marae, and the wharenui at the marae is also called Mahuhu ki te rangi. Māori Maps does not, however, spell it Māhūhū. Most likely the name comes from the waka, Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi, although that is speculation on my part. Paora (talk) 09:23, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

Keep. The place is not fictional. Te Puni Kōkiri lists the Mahūhū spelling, as does the Ngāpuhi website (albeit for the wharenui). Māori Maps in te reo Māori shows the Māhuhu spelling instead of Mahuhu on the English version. Perhaps the article should simply be changed to Te Riingi Marae, with a redirect to Tautoro? Ladleduffle (talk) 07:29, 22 October 2026 (UTC)

The source also gives two different spellings for Mangakahia Road. Its low quality and full of errors and as you said thats the name given for the wharenui, not the marae.

>Perhaps the article should simply be changed to Te Riingi Marae

The article (Tautoro) is about a locality not a marae, so it shouldn't be renamed. Te Riingi and Te Riingi Marae are redlinks. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:03, 22 October 2026 (UTC)

let's try again!! actor only mentioned in passing as being bowser's voice actor for most stuff that exists, but he's had other roles (primarily in anime), apparently including some directing roles. that said, there don't seem to be a whole lot of reliable sources about him, so maybe this isn't a case of return to red yet consarn _{(talk beige) (count ribs)} 13:56, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

also, note that the first one was subject to an afd which was closed as merge, but despite the redirect and target's histories both implying so, i couldn't find evidence of the merge part of the merge actually happening, especially between the closure and blar, so it seems nothing was actually done and editors just said that the merge was done a month later

and funnily enough, he has only two non-bowser roles that predate the previous rfd, so it actually was true that he pretty much only voiced bowser then consarn _{(talk beige) (count ribs)} 14:03, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

Batić

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

• Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 October 25 § Batic + diacritic – keep (pages swapped)

• Batić → Vladan Batić  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
• Batič → Stojan Batič  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

A previous RfD about this was closed early as the targets had inverted the diacritics. However, the situation isn't as clear cut as that (as discussed at the closer's talk page): we have at least three possible targets named Batić with a C-acute (Batić Mirković, Olgica Batić and Vladan Batić, none of whom stand out as a clear primary topic – Vladan does have more page views than the other two, but not to the extent needed for WP:PT1) and potentially two targets for Batič with a C-caron (Stojan Batič and Lacemaker (Portrait of Štefka Batič), though admittedly the latter is a bit of a stretch). I'd suggest retargeting both to Batic (disambiguation), especially as non-Slavic readers are likely to confuse the two diacritics, and perhaps also merging Batic (surname) into the main Batic dab. Rosbif73 (talk) 08:15, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

• Turn Batic (surname) into Batic (name) and retarget both to there Essentially this could best be handled by turning Batic (surname) into Batic (name) (c.f. Aja (name)) with a given name and surname section. Then both redirects can target there. Casablanca 🪨^(T) 13:59, 29 October 2026 (UTC)
• Merge Batic (surname) into Batic and retarget the versions with diacritics and multiple uses to that page, given that most users of en.wiki are using keyboards where diacritics are not readily available so will search on the plain letters for any of these people or the village. Given that there is only one non-name usage for "Batic", it is not necessary to have a name page separate from the disambiguation page. PamD 08:12, 30 October 2026 (UTC)
• They can all just get their own little disambiguation lists that are navigatable from the diacriticless version, as the WP:SMALLDETAILS difference has a meaning in pronunciation that we can document. We have this elsewhere with e.g. Simic, Pusic, etc. I'll go draft that. --Joy (talk) 08:31, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

BTW I wouldn't agree that Štefka Batič is a stretch, as the eponym of the portrait, it is an obvious search term for that painting article. In addition, I should probably mention explicitly that sl:Batič shows a lot of WP:POTENTIAL for the expansion of Batič. --Joy (talk) 08:41, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

Note also that there appear to be no online sources identifying Polly Batic with either Batić or Batič - it could be either, because both Slovenes and Serbs might have brought the surname to Vienna. She shouldn't be listed together with the others until we can verify the etymology of her surname. --Joy (talk) 08:49, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

I think the reader is best served by a list where all names spelled "Batic", with or without diacritics, are listed on one page so the reader can easily scan to find the poet or politician they are looking for. It might be useful to split that list into the different spellings (ie diacritics), especially if there is sourced content about any of the names. PamD 00:09, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

I agree there's an issue with having people click more for a small return. At the same time there's a bit of consistent nuance - the one that ends with č is Slovene (hard ch), the one that ends with ć is Serbo-Croatian (soft ch), and the Austrian one I don't know, the same as hard k probably. I'm also fine with nested lists, but we don't have a standard guideline for combining disambiguation lists and set indices (nothing came out of the last RFC about that) and I fear people would just flatten it and dumb it down completely (contrary to the educational purpose of an encyclopedia). --Joy (talk) 17:49, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

It seems to me that a single dab combining all the variants is more helpful to most readers; only a minority will be familiar with or even aware of the difference in diacritics. In cases like Simic and Pusic, there are enough people to justify subpages for each diacritic, but here we only have a handful of targets and I don't see the benefit of the split.

FUSE ZFS port for Linux

• FUSE ZFS port for Linux → Oracle ZFS#LINUXFUSE  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There is no mention of "FUSE ZFS", "port", or "Linux" at the target. In addition, the target is a broken section link. Mathguy2718 (talk) 18:52, 11 October 2026 (UTC)

• And Oracle ZFS refers to Oracle's proprietary version, which would only be available for Linux if Oracle had ported it. Most ports are based on the open-sourced OpenSolaris version, so ZFS would be a better target, although it also mentions FUSE only in the infobox and one table and doesn't mention any Linux port in any detail. But no page refers to this, so it's probably there just in case anybody searches Wikipedia for information about a FUSE-based port of ZFS to Linux, in which case just throwing them at the ZFS page would suffice.

• The weakest possible keep. While she doesn't perform mononymously, anyone searching "Ariana (singer)" is probably looking for an article on Ariana Grande. It's not hard to find examples of pop music fans referring to her informally simply as "Ariana" (e.g. , , from like 30 seconds of searching reddit). On the other hand, we also have Arianna (singer), about a singer who does perform mononymously as Arianna (note the double n), for whom people searching for Ariana (singer) could conceivably be looking. On the gripping hand, as Arianna-with-two-n's averaged only 8 pageviews per day last year, they probably aren't. And the article for Ariana Grande gets nearly seven times as many views as every other Arian[n]a listed as a singer on Ariana (name) combined. Given that it's only had about 200 uses in the six years since it was created, however, I don't think it'd be any great loss if it were deleted.

Matriarch

• Matriarch → Matriarchy  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I propose changing this redirect to either going to Matriarch (disambiguation) or Elder (administrative title)#Matriarchs. Whichever is preferred, I'd prefer a link to the elder page. A Matriarch is simply an older woman in a position of authority, typically within some sort of kinship thingy. Meanwhile, Matriarchy is a largely unrelated pseudohistorical conspiracy theory claiming that the world was run by women for 200 thousand years through love, hugs and kisses. I did this change previously, but a user on my talk page insisted this must be a move request. It seems to me that's for changing a page title, so I'm doing this instead, maybe I'm misunderstanding GastonN'estPasBon (talk) 03:46, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

Matriarchy is a pseudohistorical conspiracy theory claiming the world was run by women for 200 thousand years

Unless I'm missing something, that's just… not at all what's described by the article? 9ninety (talk) 09:49, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

The article is biased but regardless, they're still distinct, matriarchy is an obscure political ideology/pseudohistorical revisionism. I think Matriarch wikilinking to Matriarch makes more sense than Matriarch linking to anything else. Do you disagree with this? GastonN'estPasBon (talk) 10:48, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

matriarchy is an obscure political ideology/pseudohistorical revisionism

Again, that is not supported by the article, wikt:matriarchy, or Google search results. The § Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages section discusses prehistoric matriarchy, but I find no indication that this is a general usage of the word. According to Google, it just means "a social, political, or family system in which women hold primary authority, power, and leadership roles," which is pretty much also what our article and Wiktionary say. 9ninety (talk) 11:02, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by matriarch should link to matriarch. Are you suggesting to move matriarch (disambiguation) to matriarch? A WP:RM would be the correct procedure. I don't think your other suggested target is much better than the current target, as it seems to treat matriarch as an Elder title (and is also written in a very weird way and doesn't make a ton of sense), while matriarchy covers a broader sense of women in authoritative/privileged positions, which seems more appropriate and less confusing. 9ninety (talk) 13:35, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

Collapsing long tangent; in short, the nominator proposes moving Matriarch (disambiguation) to the base title.

I proposed changing the redirect target of Matriarch to either going to Matriarch (disambiguation) or Elder (administrative title)#Matriarchs whichever is preferred. I did this change previously, but a user on my talk page insisted this must be a move request.

If you're suggesting Matriarch doesn't have a primary topic and should be a disambiguation page (for example, Mercury is a disambiguation page since it doesn't have a primary topic), you'll need to start a move request to move matriarch (disambiguation) to the base title. However, as I stated, I think matriarchy is an appropriate target, and clearly the primary topic over the movie, album, and other miscellaneous items listed at the disambiguation. 9ninety (talk) 14:08, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

I proposed changing the redirect target of Matriarch to go to Matriarch (disambiguation). GastonN'estPasBon (talk) 14:15, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

That's not how it works. "X" can't redirect to "X (disambiguation)"; the disambiguation page would have to be at "X", with "X (disambiguation)" redirecting to it. So, you are proposing to move matriarch (disambiguation) to matriarch. 9ninety (talk) 14:17, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your patience! GastonN'estPasBon (talk) 14:29, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

I'll just say that I don't think it's a good idea to start a move request while this discussion is already open; this discussion could be used to first determine whether there is a primary topic, or the disambiguation should be moved. RFDs typically run for a week. 9ninety (talk) 14:34, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

Addendum: now that I think of it, I have seen RFDs end in consensus to move disambiguation pages to base titles, so a move request is probably not actually needed; that's my bad. Need to remind myself that Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy! 9ninety (talk) 14:37, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

'while matriarchy covers a broader sense of women in authoritative/privileged positions, which seems more appropriate and less confusing.' The vast majority of the page is about Matriarchy as a specific political/social system not individual women in a nondescript priviledged position, idk where you're getting this from even the categories show thats its about a unified political/social system. GastonN'estPasBon (talk) 14:06, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

yes, matriarchy is a social system, and matriarch clearly refers to the women in such systems. It's not explicitly spelled out in the article, but I thought the implication was self-evident. It may not be the best target, but it is understandable. 9ninety (talk) 14:15, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

The current target conflates the two notions and is clearly problematic.

'Matriarchy' I see as a separate concept - the system of norms, procedures and cultural attitudes in which female perspectives and attitudes are the dominant authority. It is a feature in many societies although it may not be as historically widespread as the patriarchy. In the Western nuclear family, there is always a patriarch and a matriarch - eg the most powerful female figure such as the grandmother, mother, etc - but it is often not a matriarchy as the patriarch's attitudes prevail. It's a different concept with different (although at times overlapping) set of norms, theories and attitudes. It may make sense, therefore, for it to have its own article. A redirect could work but I think there's a lot of interesting cultural facts to lay out about specifically a woman in a position of authority as matriarch - because this is often independent of being in a matriarchy.

Wikipedia:RFCBEFORE

• Wikipedia:RFCBEFORE → Wikipedia:Requests for comment#Before starting the process  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Retarget to Wikipedia:Requests for comment § Writing the statement

Almost everyone who uses this shortcut is actually referring to the usual "workshop discussion" before an RfC, not the alternative dispute resolution venues that should be attempted before resorting to the RfC process. I don't think I've ever witnessed someone use "RFCBEFORE" correctly in the wild, except for users discussing the shortcut's misuse itself. Just a few recent examples:

• Kowal2701 @ 18:24, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
• Athanelar @ 10:57, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
• 7amithorn @ 19:56, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
• Voorts @ 14:11, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
• Hason-LEK-SIN @ 04:05, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

I think it's about time that we retarget the shortcut to avoid people mistaking it for a mandatory workshopping phase by analogy with WP:BEFORE. If anyone wants to link to the current target, they can use WP:RFCALT. The WP:RFC page would probably need to be changed as a result of this RfD (example), but I created an XfD to keep the discussion focused on the redirect itself and not what it means or what it is supposed to mean, since the latter has been discussed countless times already. FaviFake (talk) 22:15, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

Keep (unless a good compromise emerges). Its current target includes a sentence on prior talk-page discussion. There are still enough RfC’s that lack that simple step that RFCBEFORE is a useful shortcut. Maybe it’s worth creating WP:RFCDRAFT or WP:RFCWORKSHOP to refer to that admirable, but not required, step of a distinct discussion that comes after a first talk-page discussion and the RfC. Thanks for opening this discussion. Dw31415 (talk) 23:00, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

I've been thinking about turning it into a DAB page: You may be looking for...alternatives to try before an RFC vs how to plan an RFC. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:08, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

Although I think a {{redirect}} notice would be more than sufficient, I do suspect it will end up dabified. Which would probably create even more confusion in the long run. FaviFake (talk) 23:30, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

A DAB page doesn’t help us use the shortcut as a word. Just like the creation of RFCALT, I think creation of RfC DRAFT/WORKSHOP would create a word for that. Dw31415 (talk) 00:00, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep The shortcut as it stands is exactly as I set it up in 2018, and is a capitalised contraction of its intended destination: Wikipedia:Requests for comment#Before starting the process. No other destination is logical or appropriate. I have explained the background to this shortcut at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment#What to do about the RFCBEFORE shortcut. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:10, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

  I never said that the current destination was not logical or appropriate. It's clearly the most logical. The problem is that virtually every user of that shorthand refers to a completely different destination. FaviFake (talk) 23:28, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

• Strong keep it is important and useful to have a link to steps that can be done before an RFC. The supposed downsides really arent agreed upon by consensus of community and its not clear strong consensus was achieved in any of those discussions in wt:rfc either about what is misuse of the abbreviation User:Bluethricecreamman (Talk·Contribs) 03:21, 29 October 2026 (UTC)
• Keep Barely anything productive in this discussion. WalkingDisks (talk) 03:57, 29 October 2026 (UTC)
• Keep Let's no rewrite history for 1.4K links? Just create a new one. CNC^{in solidarity} (talk) 17:54, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

  So... that's kind of the problem. We have a lot of editors using this to mean three different things, which I'll roughly summarize here:

  • Did you really need to start an RFC over this? Any Teahouse host could have given you the answer, if you'd just asked them first.
  • You didn't have a sufficient prior discussion before starting this. You shouldn't start an RFC unless you have slogged through a long discussion and concluded that it can't be resolved any other way first.
  • You're not supposed to boldly start an RFC. You're supposed to spend a few days negotiating the wording of the question with your opponents first.

  The result is that we have 1,400ish links, but those 1,400 links aren't all saying the same thing. (See also the WP:UPPERCASE page, which is neither WP:SHOUTING nor WP:ALLCAPS.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:29, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  This is a lot of speculation. We don't know why RFCBEFORE has been linked 1.4K+ times by different editors, unless we conducted a survey and asked all of those editors, or a selection of them, which I very much hope we won't be doing here. If editors wanted to link to RFCBRIEF then they would of done so. CNC^{in solidarity} (talk) 18:25, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  It's generally not necessary to conduct a survey to determine what someone means when they use a 'word'. Most people can glork it from context.

  For example, if someone writes something like "It doesn't look like this matter has been discussed, so it fails WP:RFCBEFORE" or "WP:RFCBEFORE available in the extensive discussions above", then you can safely infer that this person has the "sufficient prior discussion" notion of RFCBEFORE. If someone says "it needs a proper (ironically) WP:RFCBEFORE workshop", as you will see someone saying in this discussion, then that person believes that RFCBEFORE somehow says that the RFC question should be workshopped/discussed in advance, even though no words in the present target of this shortcut say anything about discussing the wording of the question, because workshopping is in a different section (@Bluethricecreamman, please take note). There are ambiguous uses (e.g., if someone writes "This is a bad RFC, as it fails WP:RFCBEFORE" or "Obvious fail of WP:RFCBEFORE"), but mostly you can look through the discussions and find a variety of meanings that do not align with the current target. For example, your own comments (e.g., "I admittedly haven't read all of the RFCBEFORE") suggest that you believe RFCBEFORE recommends a prior discussion of the subject matter.

  The problem with people using the same shortcut to mean different things is fundamentally because nobody reads the directions, and our main method of teaching promising editors is the telephone game. As a result, if you see someone say "This fails WP:RFCBEFORE because the wording should have been workshopped in advance", and nobody says anything to contradict it, then you'll 'learn' that there is a rule that the RFCs should be negoitated in advance, and that WP:RFCBEFORE is where that rule is written down. The only problem is: That's not a rule, and it's not in RFCBEFORE. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:14, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

  Yeah, i think i agree more and more the before, alternative, and workshop sections of the RFC could be combined. User:Bluethricecreamman (Talk·Contribs) 21:21, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

• Comment - Please do not snow close this RFD. Please leave it open for a week. It is strongly trending toward Keep, which is probably the right result, but a valid question is raised that needs discussing. I think that the answer is to rearrange some of the guideline text that that the redirect points to, but this is an issue that needs discussing. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:40, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

  I think the question was already raised on WT:RFC. I do think whatever the question we are trying to answer it needs a proper (ironically) WP:RFCBEFORE workshop. User:Bluethricecreamman (Talk·Contribs) 17:38, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  I honestly think the last thing we need is an RFCBEFORE on RFCBEFORE, but if editors want to discuss that, then they are more than welcome to. Ideally not as this venue though. CNC^{in solidarity} (talk) 18:26, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  There is a perennial conflict about it all throughout the years in WT:RFC.

  we should think about workshopping possible questions from previous discussions that could be addressed by an RFC: What does RFCBEFORE mean? Can you use it to call out a bad rfc? How should that be interpreted or is it nonsensical? What to do with closes for an RFC saying that RFC is premature due to this? Is it ever appropriate to close an rfc for not having had an rfcbefore? Do we need an rfc or is the lack of strict rules here actually useful for WP:NOTBUREAUCRACY? User:Bluethricecreamman (Talk·Contribs) 18:40, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  All of your questions except the first are completely irrelevant for a RfD and should not be answered or addressed here. FaviFake (talk) 22:12, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: Changing the meaning would mess up the context of those who have cited it in their comments. If changed, this would need to accounted for as well. Personally, it would be better to create a new redirect like WP:RFCALTERNATIVES for alternative options. (Would not be opposed to it becoming a DAB as that would likely not mess up past comments.) --Super Goku V (talk) 20:27, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

  Just an FYI that Wikipedia:RFCALT exists. Dw31415 (talk) 20:42, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

  There's also WP:RFCNOT, which is things to not try to use an RFC for. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:34, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  Changing 'the' meaning can't be done, because editors aren't using it to mean a single thing.

  One of the alternatives is to create a page like Wikipedia:What editors mean when they say you have to follow BRD, and point it there. Another is to create a dab page listing the common meanings, and telling people to pick the section of RFC most closely aligned with what fits the context. A third option is to create a section in the WP:RFC page to explain the related points (e.g., it's good, but not required, to have a prior discussion; it's good, but neither required nor typical to negotiate the wording of the RFC's question). WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:33, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  This isn't a realistic alternative as 1.4K incoming links (predominantly from archives) were not referencing anything else apart from Wikipedia:Requests for comment#Before starting the process when they used that shortcut. RfD shouldn't be used to rewrite history, or try to correct it, when there is nothing to correct. CNC^{in solidarity} (talk) 18:31, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

  1.4K incoming links ... were not referencing anything else

  This is a lot of speculation. FaviFake (talk) 22:13, 30 October 2026 (UTC)

Since the shortcut was nominated, two more people independently misused it in the village pumps alone. FaviFake (talk) 07:52, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

Looking for input with how to handle [ordinal] Infantry pages such as these two. A majority don't exist, but a minority either redirect to a disambiguation page or are primary redirects to a specific unit (often U.S. Army), like the two here. While "28th Infantry" is a valid short name for "28th Infantry Regiment", and in some cases could be a primary topic, there are numerous other infantry regiments as well as infantry brigades, divisions, battalions, etc. with the same number to which such redirects could refer, and the hatnotes necessary for a good primary redirect are usually not in place (and would be cumbersome, with links needed to several disambiguation pages). Redirecting to the appropriate regiment disambiguation page doesn't seem appropriate either, as one cannot assume the user seeks a regiment rather than an infantry division or brigade. I have handled these pages thus far by creating disambiguation pages like those at 11th Infantry or 17th Infantry which merely link to other disambiguation pages; though Pppery pointed out that perhaps this isn't the best solution, given WP:PTM. (Note that older disambiguation pages exist at 4th Infantry and 9th Infantry that are probably out of date and incomplete.) The advantage of a disambiguation page is that it discourages creation of such potentially inappropriate primary redirects that may inhibit users from reaching the page they seek or lead to astonishment. So, should such pages optimally be disambiguation pages, be primary redirects, or be deleted to defer to search? Or perhaps there are other possibilities.

I just completed merging content from this page, but I just don't see a way we can make this redirect neutral to both Clemson and Notre Dame. I would note that the unanimous decision in the deletion discussion was to delete, but the result was to merge. Although I, the nominator, originally proposed merging, I believe the more appropriate result would have been to merge then delete. Red0ctober22 (talk) 01:58, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep per WP:MAD. The content has been merged, so the redirect must remain for attribution purposes. Yes, you do have to arbitrarily pick one of the team's season articles to redirect to, but I do think it makes slightly more sense to pick the victor. -- Tavix ^(talk) 14:09, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

  That makes sense. To be honest, when I performed the merge, I realized that I couldn't really find anything actually worthy of being merged except for a game summary, which I placed in the section for the Clemson game on the 2020 Notre Dame season page, but even then I question if that is "over-cluttering" that page. Considering WP:MAD now, I do wish that the discussion resulted in an outright deletion as everyone had voted for, but the closer did make a respectable argument in favor of WP:ATD after I consulted them about it.

A trend of secularisation among Christian-democratic parties is discussed at Christian democracy § 21st century, but the term "post-Christian" isn't used and it's followed by a discussion of minor Christianity-democratic parties reacting against that trend and re-emphasising traditional Christian values. Before the discussion of these trends there's a paragraph discussing the waning popularity of Christian-democratic parties in democratic Europe, which is another plausible interpretation of what the term could mean. Is it "(post-Christian) democracy" or "post-(Christian democracy)"?

Disambiguate; unless a better alternative can be found or consensus is established to remove the hatnotes and see also sections (the latter not necessarily being a great idea). Redirects, including soft redirects, do not contain any content. Link boxes are the exception because they are not content but navigational redirect aids in and of themselves. WP:TOU currently disambuguates between Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines (in the hatnote), wmf:Policy:Terms of Use (the target of the soft redirect), and Wikipedia:Wikimedia policy (listed in the see also). WP:PRIV also does this in regard to two pages. Given the prominence of these pages, it is not a good to provide a poor example of a soft redirect (which can be an arcane subject of understanding) to so many (be it they seasoned or freshly minted). TOU, for example existed as non-redirect from 2004-2014, a proper soft redirect from 2014-2016, and was finally distorted in late 2016. Thus, while a disambiguation page (similar to e.g. WP:WMP) is not a perfect solution, it is an improvement. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 02:06, 10 October 2026 (UTC)

• This is an odd one but your suggestion to disambiguate makes sense although I'm curious what others think. Assuming these would be combined on a single dab page, what would be the appropriate title? The little 'Privacy policy' link at the bottom of the screen links to wmf:Privacy policy, for what it's worth. Also, WP:PRIVACYWP:PRIVACY is a redirect to Wikipedia:Harassment#Posting of personal information and WP:BLPPRIVACYWP:BLPPRIVACY targets Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of personal information and using primary sources. These should be included on a dab page. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 18:30, 10 October 2026 (UTC)

  @Myceteae: I had imagined two separate technical 'disambiguation' pages, viz. Wikipedia:Terms of use & Wikipedia:Privacy policy. Whatever anyone finds appropriate to list on them is fine, such as WP:BLPPRIVACYWP:BLPPRIVACY & WP:PRIVACYWP:PRIVACY which you mention. They could even be converted to short information pages of sorts (or list, set index, etc.) if desired. I suppose my argument at its core is that these cease to be redirects. A redirect should not contain a see also section, hatnote, etc. (i.e. any form of disambuguating or other content); soft redirects are a technical solution applied when hard redirects are not able (intentionally or not software-wise) to function, but are still bound by the conventions of hard redirects (that is, no one would argue for content of any kind on a hard redirect—outside of an rcat or category which are entirely different beasts). If these are to remain as soft redirects, then the hatnotes, see also sections, etc. should be removed. Linkboxes or historical tags (the inclusion limit) are sometimes present—e.g. Wikipedia:Ambassador Program & WP:VAIN—as navigational relics and due to deprecation respectively. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 22:25, 10 October 2026 (UTC)

  I agree these should not be redirects. The set up you suggest is reasonable; an alternative for the privacy policy(ies) page might be Wikipedia:PRIVACY (disambiguation), with Wikipedia:Privacy policy redirected there. The PRIVACY/Privacy policy dab page should also list the historical page Wikipedia:Privacy and, possibly under 'See also', the dab page Wikipedia:Private correspondence. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 09:08, 11 October 2026 (UTC)

• I find disambiguation rather silly. I don't see the point of marking (Tag: Disambiguation links added) to every edit that links to the terms of use and privacy policy Wikipedia pages. This statement refers to more than those two pages, but also any other soft redirects converted into "disambiguation pages", for example Wikipedia:Trolling where certain talk pages of politicians get tagged as disambiguation links added. Unhelpful "disambiguating" clutters recent changes pages filtered with the disambiguation links tag, and marking former soft redirects that have "See also" content or hatnotes as disambiguation pages isn't helping anyone who patrols the addition of disambiguation links. Mathguy2718 (talk) 15:46, 11 October 2026 (UTC)
• Just noting (after pondering) that perhaps a good solution would be to purify the soft redirects (i.e. leave just the soft redirect template on the pages by removing any hat notes, see also sections, etc.). {{Legal policy}} could remain, or it could be converted to {{shortcut}} (and Category:Wikipedia policies, Category:Wikipedia legal policies, or both could be retained manually if desired).— Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 06:11, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

  @Godsy, I guess the question is: Do we think the pseudo-dab setup is helpful? In other words, are readers who type or click one of these reasonably likely to expect to find a different policy/page than the redirect target? Or maybe readers don't know what they are looking for but are wondering if we have a terms of use or privacy policy. The likelihood that some disambiguation is helpful seems high to me but I don't know how people actually end up on these pages or what they expect. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 19:43, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

Comment.

This redirect was brought up at RfD a few weeks ago, where there were only 3 comments, each proposing one or more distinct solutions, in addition to the one suggested in the nomination, and the discussion resulted in no consensus. The lowercase version, Game watch, is a long-standing uncontroversial redirect, also to Handheld electronic game.

We could delete to facilitate searching instead (although I'm not sure if the lowercase version would interfere anyways...); the results include all of the proposed targets. There is no content in the history, just redirects (briefly Nelsonic Industries, and then Handheld electronic game).

Alternatively, if this is retargeted, the hatnote created by User:Tevildo at Handheld electronic game, {{Redirect|Game Watch|the Nintendo console|Game & Watch|the Nelsonic Industries product line|Nelsonic Game Watch|the IT news website|Impress Watch}}, should be moved to the new target and adjusted as appropriate.

Or we could could convert that into a DAB page, and perhaps tag it with {{broad-concept article}}.

Solomon Ucko (talk) 02:58, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

• I'll just repeat my comment from the last RfD that Nelsonic Industries is probably the best target, as their product is actually called "Game Watch" with that spacing and capitalization. But the status quo seems acceptable. Tevildo (talk) 06:12, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

  Oh, good point. If the orthography is a distinguishing characteristic, that is a valid argument as per WP:SMALLDETAILS. However, frequency of usage can override it; I'm not sure how to judge that here. Solomon Ucko (talk) 07:15, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

  @Tevildo @Sollyucko But how's that different from the target I proposed, which has a product also called "Game Watch"? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:10, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

  @Piotrus: That one says it's "stylized as GAME Watch", which has different capitalization.

  So we could have:

  • game watch => handheld electronic game or handheld game console
  • Game Watch => Nelsonic Industries
  • GAME Watch => Impress Holdings

  (or relevant sections thereof)

  Solomon Ucko (talk) 01:18, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

  @Sollyucko Fair, but the stylization is inconsistent. At least in some Wikipedia references, the website is called just Game Watch, ditto in Template:Video game journalism. Granted, maybe the solution here is to fix things in the template and our citations? But it is, obviously, not an uncommon error. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:38, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

Template:Politics of Australia (bottom)

• Template:Politics of Australia (bottom) → Template:Politics of Australia  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect doesn't make sense to me, because I don't see any connection between the word "bottom" and the political landscape of Australia. This was a standalone template for a day in 2006 before being redirected, but no merger ever took place (and it was almost exactly the same as what "Template:Politics of Australia" looked like at the time), so there is no need to worry about merge-and-delete type problems. I suggest deletion. Duckmather (talk) 00:27, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep. The best solution is to add a section on the street, which I have done. (1st street was described as radiating in two directions from the Arch, which feels so St. Louis, so I kept that format for 2nd St.) -- Tavix ^(talk) 14:22, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

  Thanks for adding that. However, I note that there are also redirects for all the other numbered streets up to 25th. Of those, 4th, 6th-11th, 13th-17th, 19th-21st, and 24th are all unmentioned.

Dave Icke

• Dave Icke → David Icke  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No indication that he's called "Dave", either in the article, or any of the sources I spot checked. A web search finds nothing but a few hits for a different, non-notable individual who goes by Dave, so delete. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 21:00, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep, Dave is a common nickname for someone named David. Non-notable people with the name are irrelevant, someone looking for a non-notable person won't find them whether or not this redirect exists. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:38, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

  Why keep though? While it's a common nickname generally, there's no real basis or need to create redirects of the form "Dave X" for every "David X" we have an article on. Such redirects should only exist for Davids that actually commonly go by Dave. Ditto other common nicknames. And on top of that, people still may be looking for a nonnotable individual. We shouldn't point them to someone who shares a similar, but different name, we should simply not direct them anywhere but search results. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 22:21, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

  If someone thinks he's a Dave, it's a useful redirect. If someone is looking for someone else, they're also not going to be helped by search results so it feels silly to lead someone there. Slap an {{R from incorrect name}} tag on it if there's no evidence of him using the nickname. -- Tavix ^(talk) 14:26, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

  If someone thinks his name is Steve, then that would be useful too. But there's a limit to what sort of potential utility we're willing to offer, especially when that has to be weighed against other factors, like people being misled into thinking that's an actual nickname he uses, especially when you haven't provided any actual documentation of people making this error. If you think this sort of redirect is okay, you should head over to WP:BOTREQ and request a bot create "Dave" redirects for every "David" article we have. And while you're at it, you can add it "Bob", "Rob", "Bobby", "Robby", and "Robbie" for every single "Robert" article we have, the possibilities are endless! See just how much support your idea gets, then we can revisit this one. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:18, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

  It's safe to assume a connection between Dave and David because Dave is a common nickname for David. The same is not true between Steve and David. The creation of this redirect is evidence that such an error has been made. And yes, I would support the bot request you mention. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:09, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

  The user who created that redirect has been blocked indefinitely for "Persistent addition of unsourced content" (see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1000#h-Mozart834428196-2019-01-14T21:18:00.000Z for more details), so I think that is a very weak piece of evidence. I am voting delete unless you can show a reliable source that uses "Dave" to refer to the "English conspiracy theorist, author and a former semi-professional footballer, sports journalist and broadcaster" (it doesn't have to list all of that, just clearly identify the right person). (I might also be willing to accept a broad enough range of unreliable sources that are independent of each other. -- In this case, I think we should have the redirect without mentioning the nickname in the article, but make sure that the redirect's history documents that sourcing.)

  I strongly disagree with having a bot create a large number of questionable redirects. I am tentatively okay with automatically creating common nickname redirects for disambiguation pages and set index articles, since then there's no claim that any specific person uses that nickname and there's a good chance that one of the people does, but not for an individual biography, unless it mentions the nickname and, if done with naive heuristics, its editors are notified so that they can react if the nickname was actually used to refer to someone other than its subject.

  Adding an rcat is good, but my assumption is that only a very small fraction of users would click back to the redirect page to see it, so having such a redirect would still be misleading to the rest. In contrast, when Wikipedia searches for the entered phrase, that means 'we don't have anything by that title, but here are some guesses for what you might be looking for'. So as long as each David is at or near the top of the results for each corresponding Dave ... search, that seems sufficient to me.

• Delete per nominator Richard Keatinge (talk) 07:54, 27 October 2026 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and the guideline WP:RPURPOSE, which says redirects can be created for "Alternative forms of a name as found in reliable sources and common databases".

@5Q5: Did you miss the sources I provided above attesting that "Dave Icke" has been used for David Icke? Also, it seems you have a twisted sense of the word 'famous'. That guy isn't even notable by Wikipedia standards, which is a much lower bar than famous. -- Tavix ^(talk) 13:53, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

@Tavix: The first source offered above as evidence for Dave Icke > David Icke is an anonymous-authored, conspiratorial, antisemtic WordPress blog post that accuses Israel of master-minding 9/11 and only pretending Arabs were involved (these are words from the article). As such, it is fringe and not a RS. I can't get the WordPress domain to open on Firefox or Edge desktop browsers, but it will open on my phone. The second source is, yes, reliable and documents a use for 1968 when Icke was 16 years old playing sports. RPURPOSE requires plural reliable sources. If another RS can be found for "Dave Icke" beyond the one, I'll revise my vote. Maybe there's something buried in British newspaper archives? 5Q5|^✉ 12:13, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

If you want to look for sources in British newspapers, be my guest, but I'm afraid you're missing the point. I needn't jump through so many hoops to prove to you that Dave is a valid nickname for someone named David. The sources I provided are to demonstrate that our David has been called Dave—you don't need to perform a reliability check for simple attestation purposes. -- Tavix ^(talk) 13:45, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

Not mentioned at the target Casablanca 🪨^(T) 15:38, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

The redirect page has some content in its history (Special:Permalink/55702341), so we should make sure that that version would qualify for deletion and that none of the text is currently copied elsewhere.

It might be better to follow Ace (Suikoden) (which also has content history, at Special:Permalink/96513800) in targeting Suikoden § The 108 Stars of Destiny, though that doesn't actually have a direct mention either.

This character was also previously listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=108_Stars_of_Destiny_(Suikoden)&oldid=753286932 and detailed in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_characters_in_Suikoden_III&oldid=676700091#Ace, before both were WP:BLARed.

The tables in Special:Permalink/753286932 and 108 Heroes are inconsistent as to which of Ace and Queen (Suikoden) correspond with Zhang Shun vs Zhang Heng (Water Margin), but if we can figure out which one is correct, it might be a viable target, especially if we add a mention to it, as long as such a statement would be acceptable there.

"Prime Universe" is definitely an ambiguous term as it could be used to refer to Earth-616 of Marvel Comics, as quoted in Ultimates 2 (Vol. 2) #9, or Earth Prime and Earth-One from DC Comics, or Prime (Malibu Comics). — Trailblazer¹⁰¹🔥 ^{(discuss · contribs)} 14:33, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

@Sollyucko: moved Repair from Maintenance (but forgot to change the hatnote there), but Repairs and many others still target Maintenance. Revert the retargeting? Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:42, 15 October 2026 (UTC)

Keep the ones with "and" per the acronyms/collective terms discussed at Maintenance § Definitions, or delete them as WP:XY if that would be too confusing.

Retarget Repairer and Repairman to Handyman as those terms refer to a role or type of person rather than directly to the work they do. Note the bold synonyms at Handyman.

Retarget the rest to Corrective maintenance as "repair" and its variations by themselves imply that something is broken and needs "fixing" or, synonymously, "mending". Maintenance is a much broader topic, and can include routine work to maintain continued function of things that haven't broken yet and as such do not need repair. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 19:09, 15 October 2026 (UTC)

I agree with Scyrme. (For clarity, Repairing, Repairs, and Mending are the ones that we think should also redirect to Corrective maintenance.)

Shhhnotsoloud, sorry for not noticing and updating the hatnote or the other redirects.

For context: from late 2005 to early 2018, Maintenance was at Maintenance, repair and operations or an orthographic variant thereof; see Talk:Maintenance#Requested move (diff) for more details.

Solomon Ucko (talk) 23:43, 15 October 2026 (UTC)

Every? The redirects currently only go to two, one of which is a subtopic for the other, that subtopic being corrective maintenance, which states in bold that it is synonymous with repair. The only reason repair is mentioned at maintenance is because repair is a type of maintenance, but maintenance is not synonymous with repair so linking it at a a disambiguation page is not appropriate. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 14:02, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

I agree about retargetting the "and"s to the "Definitions" section.

However, I don't think that DAB is very helpful. DNA repair, Right to repair, and Home repair are already listed amongst various other related terms in Corrective maintenance § See also, and Repair and deduct should be added to either there or Home repair § See also. "Repairing" and "Mending" are not relevant to the song "Repair" nor the episode "Repairs". I do think we should add this hatnote to Corrective maintenance, though: {{Redirect|Repair}} =>

"Repair" redirects here. For other uses, see Repair (disambiguation).

Since these are closely related, I do think we should discuss them together rather than fragmenting the conversation, even if distinguishing the subcases is a bit annoying.

Solomon Ucko (talk) 19:40, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

I've removed DNA repair and Right to repair from the disambiguation page as partial title matches (PTM). They are never referred to as just "repair" by itself and it's not appropriate to list them on the disambiguation page except maybe in a see also. Repair and deduct may also be a PTM but I'm not sure; I'm not familiar with United States law I've left it. If it is a PTM, please remove it too. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 19:47, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

Serbia and Montenegro men's national under-19 basketball team

• Serbia and Montenegro men's national under-19 basketball team → Yugoslavia men's national under-19 basketball team  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I would like to delete this redirect. Serbia and Montenegro, including its former name FR Yugoslavia, have never played any under-19 basketball tournament. Maiō T. (talk) 14:30, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

• This is more of a content issue, than a redirect issue. The target article does mention this team. Also, I just notified of this discussion at the target and creator talk pages. Jay 17:22, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

• Noting the comment on Tavix's talk page from Jay (talk · contribs): "All the links at the #New national teams section are for the under-19 teams, and that includes Serbia and Montenegro whose under-19 team is a redlink now." That's accurate for the bulleted list at that section. I should have been more specific: I was referring to the prose before that list, which indeed links to general country names, not sports teams of any sort. So I agree with his earlier comment that this is a content issue. My conclusion is still delete, though. Unanswered is the question of whether the country of Serbia and Montenegro ever had such a team. If it did, delete per WP:REDLINK. If it didn't, delete because it never existed. --BDD (talk) 20:29, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

  If it existed, which the target says it did, from 1992 to 2006, does it deserve an article, or is this redirect sufficient? If it didn't exist, and the target is wrong, the entry needs to be removed from the target, and this redirect deleted. However, there is an incoming link from FIBA Europe and I tried hard, but couldn't find where it is linked in that article. Jay 08:15, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:REDLINK. Serbia and Montenegro separated in 2006. Just one year later, Serbia hosted (and won!) the 2007 FIBA Under-19 World Championship. I think it's safe to say this team existed, brand new teams don't get to host and win major tournaments like that. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:37, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

  And interestingly, there is no mention whatsoever of Montenegro on that page. The team may have just been representing Serbia after all, then. --BDD (talk) 14:52, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

• Delete "Vampirecore" is not synonymous with "vampire lifestyle". It could just be used to describe media that is heavily vampire-themed or glorifies vampires. Retargeting it would be an unnecessary amount of assumption about what the person is searching for.

for starters, there's a chance a reader wouldn't know what a morph ball was in the first place, and search based on not fully knowing what it is. being taken to a section that explains how it works in one single specific game could, among other stuff, lead them to believe that the morph ball is only in super metroid (which people familiar with, say, prime, dread, and prime pinball, would know might not be the case)

and just a little more importantly, the article outright refers to the form as "morph ball" and clarifies that "morphing ball" is just what that game calls it, so having different targets for both would make things surprising for a reader who, for whatever reason, decides to search a thing more than once, and has learned by at least the second time that it really is called "morph ball" consarn _{(talk beige) (count ribs)} 11:25, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

Bad guy

• Bad guy → Villain  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

"Bad guy" can refer to villain, antagonist, or real-life criminal, yet it redirects only to villain. I think it may be better to retarget to the DAB page... ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:37, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

• retarget to Bad Guy dab page. There are good targets there to point the reader to whatever they want --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:07, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

• Ehhhh, keep I guess. First, per WP:DIFFCAPS, the dab page is capitalized, as every entry there (barring the intro note about the plain meaning) is a proper name. And antagonists aren't always the bad guy (just as protagonists aren't always the good guy). And the colloquial usage as villain is far more plausible a way to look that up than it is to look up criminal. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 00:14, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

  Antagonists aren't always bad, but "bad guy" can be more metaphorical than literal. I still believe its obvious target is not always villain - not enough for a forced redirect at least. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:37, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

• Retargeting to the disambiguation page, and formatting a common section at the top, seems like a good idea. A primary redirect is a bit too much on the side of WP:NOTDICT. --Joy (talk) 11:50, 9 October 2026 (UTC)
• Keep. Agree with Deacon Vorbis. Also worth noting that though the nomination implies that "villian" excludes real people, the article Villain explicitly includes both real and fictional people. It seems to me that the current target already encompasses the full breadth of what "villain" or "bad guy" means. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 12:00, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

  While real people can controversially be called villains, as a whole it is not typically used to describe an actual person because it refers to a fictional antagonist. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:53, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep The uncapitalized version is on the very top of the disambiguation page. To me, it seems that "Bad guy" in lower case almost exclusively refers to a villain. ~2026-48129-52 (talk) 11:55, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Retarget or keep?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris ^talk! 01:37, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

I don't think makes sense to retarget to the dab page, since it defines the villain meaning ("type of character in fiction and other narratives") as the primary topic at the top. Retargeting to dab would imply there isn't a primary topic, which contradicts the dab page. So, keep. I will say that I think the villain article should establish a distinction between the term and antagonist, as they're often colloquially used synonymously. 9ninety (talk) 07:11, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

I think what goes unsaid here is that current WP:disambiguation page content is not gospel, and the proposal is to amend it as well, to make this ambiguity more explicit. Likewise we can choose to amend villain to explain it, because that's also not unimpeachable :) It depends on how much practical ambiguity there is. --Joy (talk) 07:19, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget to Bad Guy when the term "bad guy" doesn't necessarily mean villain, and this term isn't even mentioned on the current target page anyway.

Euros

• Euros → Euros (disambiguation)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

"Euros" currently redirects to "Euro" (the currency) instead of the "Euros" disambiguation page based on a 2006-2007 consensus. There is no talk section on the "Euros" page, but according to the edit history comments in 2007, a redirect to the plural form of the currency was considered harmless since the "Euros" disambiguation page was bare, and I'm bringing this back up for discussion since one of the foundations of that consensus is no longer true. Twenty years later, there are several people and other links where "Euros" is the singular form. I discovered this issue looking for a specific moth genus- so I'm not completely unbiased- and that's when I realized how difficult it is actually is to find the Euros disambiguation page. At the time, it wasn't readily clear to me whether or not any information existed on the moth genus by searching its name, and I don't think that's in the spirit of WP. It's also unclear whether anyone involved in the initial discussion was familiar with the MoS for currency or if the MoS was updated since the initial 2007 discussion because it was not mentioned anywhere that I can find. However, I think recognizing that a majority of links to "euros" (as a currency) are either double redirects that should be fixed or they should not be linked at all per the MoS for currency: "Do not link the names or symbols of currencies that are commonly known to English-speakers ($, €, £), unless there is a particular reason to do so". Sesamehoneytart 20:15, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

It doesn't look like there is an established standard to follow here. For example, 'dollars' redirects to the Dollar article, 'pounds' redirects to a disambiguation page, while 'yens' redirects to an article about the Swiss town. Why am I saying this? Because we need some compelling reason to change the current status quo with the 'euros' redirect. The 'euros' disambiguation page is easily reachable via the current hatnote on the Euro page. Vgbypw (talk) 10:32, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

For comparison, the page views for Yen and Yens show a fairly consistent picture, where the plural is a blip in comparison to the singular. Still, we don't have a statistical redirect in the hatnote at Yens so we can't count these clicks. The clickstreams in the last year show no appreciable amount of clicks from Yens to Yen. A Google Books search for yens seems to mostly show me French sources, so I'm not sure what to make of that. --Joy (talk) 14:20, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

There is a standard established in the Manual of Style specific to currency, but it is not commonly followed or enforced. There is another MoS policy that I can't find to save my life before I have to leave for work, but it's something like *there should be no link to plurals, put the 's' outside the link*. While we look at the standards used between various currencies, I think we also need to address how many of these don't follow the manual of style and at what point the /established standard/ overrides the manual of style, likely done by people who mean well but aren't familiar with what the MoS says about how currency specifically should be handled. Sesamehoneytart 17:32, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

All of that concerns editors, but in matters of navigation, the readers should be our primary concern - is there a chance that either navigation layout is going to surprise anyone, or what is going to be the most useful to the most readers. You effectively want to change what happens when a reader types in "euros" in the search box, so you need to make an argument based on WP:CRITERIA / WP:D, not editing style. --Joy (talk) 18:09, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

I agree with you, and as I mentioned in the header, but WP:PLA is currently a problem and is precisely the reason I've brought up this discussion. The current way it is set up creates a problem for anyone trying to navigate to anything where "euros" is the proper singular form of the term, including me, and I've been an editor since 2000-something. I drafted a page for "Euros (genus)" before I discovered that "Euros (moth)" already existed because I got lost trying to navigate the hatnotes. I feel like you are only considering people searching one definition of the term, and I think we should consider all users, not just those interested in the currency, regardless of percentage of users that is. Sesamehoneytart 19:55, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

The issue with disregarding the percentage of the users is that WP:PTOPIC is normally judged based on usage and long-term significance. The level of usage is a conventionally important factor, one that can't be set aside, it has to be weighed together with others.

The issue here seems to be that the Euro page has three hatnotes, and the Euros one is the third one. We don't have really good research on the effectiveness of hatnotes and the nuance of volume and positioning in that regard. It might be that there's more banner blindness than we know.

As the situation isn't clear, and we might be confusing the readers looking for sports and biology, I'd be happy to test if we can have the disambiguation list at the base name, thereby making the readers looking for finance click again, to see if this can be a good compromise. --Joy (talk) 06:04, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

I'm currently going through the list of pages that link to "Euros" and aligning them with the MoS. If anyone has noticed the number of links dropping, this is why. I hope this will give us a more realistic picture of the actual traffic. I haven't found any consistency in usage for numbers, symbols, or layout, and I only just found out there's a Template:Euro that has a "link=yes" option with inconsistent usage across the site. I don't want to use a bot for this, because sometimes the link to Euro is relevant and just needs the 's' outside the brackets and sometimes "euros" is being used as a shortened form of a European tournament: "XXX football player made it to the Euros before deciding he wanted to be a Wikipedia editor instead idk". Steady progress, but I'll drop a note here when I've addressed them all (if this hasn't closed yet). Sesamehoneytart 21:07, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

BTW, what you're looking for about putting s outside the link is documented at MOS:PIPESTYLE. --Joy (talk) 14:39, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

YAS! Thank you Sesamehoneytart 00:10, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Looking at the comparison of page views between the euros redirect and the euros disambiguation page, it doesn't look like most readers who arrive at euro through the redirect reach for the navigation aid.

Special:WhatLinksHere/Euros shows 474 incoming links at this time. These may be by and large meant for the plural, and they might be inflating the statistic beyond what is actually natural.

The page views stats do sometimes shows spikes in interest and that's when the difference narrows. In the recorded history of the last eleven years we had about six, maybe seven such major events.

I checked the WikiNav view of clickstreams at the disambiguation page and it's mostly about the football event. I checked the meta:Research:Wikipedia clickstream archive history and that is indeed the pattern.

Is that enough to declare there's no primary topic by usage? I'm not sure.

A Google Books search for "euros" does mostly bring up sources about the currency, I see nothing else in the first two pages of output.

Still, it wouldn't be a bad idea to disambiguate, because it would lead to making those links unambiguous, and allow us to see the clickstreams specifically for euros (something we can't have with the current layout). It's easy enough to restore a primary redirect afterwards once we have a couple of months of better data. --Joy (talk) 14:10, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

• Just a procedural note, that if the current status quo is changed, Euros (disambiguation) should instead be moved to Euros to prevent a malplaced disambiguation (per WP:NOPRIMARY). My personal feeling about this is that Euro the currency is a primary redirect, but have not given this enough research yet. For full disclosure, the nominator of this RfD changed the target to the dab page in August, and I reverted and suggested bringing this here to RfD. Natg 19 (talk) 17:45, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

  Fully agree. I also haven't researched the question, but if "Euros" is found to not have a primary topic, it should indeed be the title of the disambiguation page. --BDD (talk) 18:19, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

  Euros has several primary topics. This is something that has changed since the 2007 consensus and the reason I brought this back up for discussion. Sesamehoneytart 20:01, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

From a Wikipedia disambiguation perspective, there is either a single primary topic, or none. Your argument is that there is no primary topic, therefore, the base name should be the disambiguation page. See WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT) and WP:NOPRIMARY. Natg 19 (talk) 21:28, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

Oh, you're right. I didn't realize /primary topic/ was a defined term. My argument is that it is difficult to find certain topics by typing them into the search bar with the current structure, but out of the two possibilities, I think /no primary topic/ is best fitting. Sesamehoneytart 22:25, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

On that note, maybe next time suggest using WP:RM, because the automation there places more banners to alert editors. Though I do think we'll already have reached most people with the post to Talk:Euro. I did just now post some {{please see}} notices to a few more related talk pages just in case. --Joy (talk) 06:12, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

There is no mention of anything called "standard theory" at the target article.

I think this title is generic enough that would serve better as a disambiguation page, considering topics like "Standard_Theory_(Egyptology)" and the Standard Model in particle physics which is also called "Standard Theory". There are likely others in fields I'm not familiar with, but considering there's at least three possible meanings of the term- each may seem the most important to people familiar with that particular subject- so I think a disambiguation page is more appropriate.

The terms do exist in generative linguistics, but they refer to models that were superseded 40+ years ago, so I felt they were inappropriate for a general overview article. Something as generic as "standard theory" would probably make more sense as a disambiguation page rather than a linguistics-specific redirect. Botterweg (talk) 00:54, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

I do intend on creating some of these redirects as articles some time in the future, but they are indeed not so helpful right now. I of course also wouldn't mind getting the creation credit for some of these, but that's beside the point. Kisseran (talk) 09:14, 28 October 2026 (UTC)

Prime 4

sort of similarly to prime 1, this is only plausible as a thing you say or a search term in contexts already about metroid (such as discussions about it). unlike it, it's a little too vague in terms of use for me to have found a fitting target, even ignoring the part where 4 isn't a prime number consarn _{(talk beige) (count ribs)} 19:04, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

This song is not mentioned in the target article or Polo G. However, this subject is mention in a list of songs in both Burna Boy discography and Polo G discography, but neither one of them have any context for this subject, as well as the fact that there are two potential targets, it is not clear why one target should be preferred over the other. Steel1943 (talk) 03:08, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

• Delete as there is no secondary coverage of the song and it is most likely not notable enough to warrant a redirect. If there's a compelling reason to have a redirect somewhere, I would be okay with redirect to Burna Boy discography. (A quick Internet search quickly shows that it is Burna Boy's song and Polo G is featured on it.) I like octopuses^{talk to me, talk to me} 00:20, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

X-1 X-ray source

• X-1 X-ray source → Scorpius X-1  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

1. I have never seen Scorpius X-1 referred to as this, this seems like a really weird way to refer to an X-ray binary.

2. There are other X-ray sources with "X-1" in the name. On English WP alone, there are all of these: Cygnus X-1, Hercules X-1, Aquila X-1, M82 X-1, Vela X-1, Monoceros X-1, Circinus X-1, LMC X-1, NGC 300 X-1, IC 10 X-1...and I know SMC X-1 is a thing and isn't on the encyclopedia yet so I'm sure there's more.

I personally support deletion, because I don't see any reason why someone would refer to an X-ray source in this way as a person who has written numerous articles about X-ray astronomy and has had to read through the scientific literature to find information about them. However, I would also not be opposed to DABifying with the sources I listed above. Shocksingularity (talk) 22:11, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

Dhivehi League was created in 2000 (see this article https://mihaaru.com/sports/110799). According to President's Cup (Maldives) and the RSSSF (https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/maledchamp.html), 1985–1999 corresponds with the "National Championship" section and not the Dhivehi League section. If you check the history of the pages before I turned them into redirects, you can see the winners corresponds with the list in the RSSSF document. Unilandofma^Talk 16:22, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

  Before they were redirects, they had no use as an article as there was barely any content and no references. They were also labelled as "(year) Dhivehi League", which was incorrect. As I stated above, the league was created in 2000. What I later found out was the years 1985–1999 corresponded with was the President's Cup, and what I can assume is that the content on those were referring to that and not the Dhivehi League.

The current target hardly discusses the topic. There is a single paragraph about general court-martial, which wasn't what I was looking for because it only applies to the situation in Ireland. A more detailed discussion is found at Courts-martial of the United States#General court-martial, which was what I was looking for. Of course that page runs into the same issue (only covering one country).
I suggest that we either change the target of the redirect, or add a hat note to Court-martial that explains that General court-martial redirects there, and where to find additional information about it (as it applies to the United States, or elsewhere). Renerpho (talk) 02:24, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

Delete - Neither polyphobia nor mononormativity mention the term "polyphobia" or explain that it should be interpreted to mean "bigotry towards polysexual people" and "bigotry towards polyamorous people" in each of those contexts respectively. The only mention of polyphobia anywhere on Wikipedia is at Mau5ville: Level 3 where it's the title of a song. A soft redirect to Wiktionary would obscure search results for the song. I think it's fine to let the search bar handle this one; there are only few results and Wiktionary appears besides the search results list.

Retarget to Abolitionism (animal rights) (target of abolitionist veganism). Not all abolitionist vegans are anarchists. These terms are generally used for vegans who believe that everyone has a moral obligation to be vegan if they are able (ie. they're abolitionist vegans). Critics often view this perspective as pushing vegan ethical views and dietary preferences onto everyone else, hence it's labelled as "radical", "militant", "fundamentalist". However, these terms are sometimes also be worn voluntarily by those proud to advocate for "radical" philosophies or "militant" action.

Abolitionism (animal rights) encompasses non-anarchist vegans who share such views, and explicitly refers to "radical" and "militant" approaches by advocates. Those using it in a positive sense will find what they're looking for. Those using it in a pejorative sense would be unsurprised to end up at an article about vegans who want to abolish meat-eating. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 03:44, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

"Radical" and "militant" seem fine for retargeting. "Fundamentalist" is a bit weird because the term is generally strongly associated with religion. "Fundamental" (without -ist) seems like a grammatical error on top of already questionable phrasing. — An anonymous username, not my real name 20:21, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

Strictly speaking, sure, but "fundamentalist" also sometimes used in a broader way for particularly "preachy", uncompromising, or strict adherents to an ideology or philosophy. See, eg. Market fundamentalism or Scientism § Strong and weak scientism. The "fundamentalist" ones should probably be tagged explicitly as {{r from pejorative}} as I'm not aware of those ever being used by adherents themselves, unlike "radical" or "militant".

I don't object to deleting the redirects that drop the -ist/-ism from "fundamentalist/ism". You're right that those are unlikely. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 20:56, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

The terms include vegan antivaxxers so there is overlap with religion. ~2026-56879-61 (talk) 00:51, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

This seems like a reach; I don't think it's true that all anti-vaccine people are religiously motivated. — An anonymous username, not my real name 12:50, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

I don't think they were implying that all antivaccine people are religiously motivated, but I agree it's a reach. The "fundamentalism" in "vegan fundamentalism" isn't literal religious fundamentalism. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 19:24, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

Comment: According to meta:Special:Diff/5043, Wikipedia3 is a software program hosting http://www.wikipedia.org/. It seems that the name MediaWiki didn't exist from until August 2003 according to meta:Special:Diff/10328, where Wikipedia3 is changed to MediaWiki. (meta:Overall timeline seems to confirm this.)

There are only a few pages here that mention Wikipedia3 in this context, such as Wikipedia talk:MediaWiki (archive) and there was apparently plans for a Wikipedia4 that never happened based on meta:Wikipedia4 (proposal) and meta:Wikipedia4 timeline (proposal).

Nexus Airlines destinations

• Nexus Airlines destinations → Nexus Airlines (UK)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not sure if this should be deleted to aid search results or retargeted to the primary topic of Nexus Airlines#Destinations.

A retarget would probably need another section hatnote, but I think it's probably unnecessary to have a hatnote at the top of Nexus Airlines and again to the same article underneath a section heading.

If there's consensus for deletion, this was an {{R from merge}} but insufficient attribution can be repaired via dummy edit as there's only one significant contributor, being the page creator.

Also note Talk:Nexus Airlines#Requested move 14 October 2026 led to the current situation, and there's also doubt whether Nexus Airlines (UK) meets WP:GNG, but so far no one has formally gone ahead with merging, redirecting or a deletion proposal. Fork99 (talk) 02:38, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

• Weak delete: neither of the homonymous airlines has a separate destination list, and the UK one to which the pre-BLAR content related is likely not notable. There's no history worth keeping, as none of that content remains in the merged article. Rosbif73 (talk) 06:00, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

Keep CSX milepost prefixes whichwas merged to the current target following Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CSX milepost prefixes. The merged content was then deleted by Trainsandotherthings due to poor referencing. The history of CSX milepost prefixes needs to be retained to preserve attribution for old revisions (WP:ATTREQ), as the revisions remain accessible to readers in the history. The easiest way to maintain attribution is to keep as {{r from merge}}.

Delete the other two as having nothing helpful to redirect to. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 20:14, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

• Delete all. With all content on these having been removed, there is nothing left that requires attribution. I maintain that attribution is not required for old revisions due to the disclaimer found at the bottom of those pages. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:34, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

  Said disclaimer is, in entirety: "This version of the page has been revised. Besides normal editing, the reason for revision may have been that this version contains factual inaccuracies, vandalism, outdated information, or material not compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License." (relevant part in bold). All this states is the article may have been revised to remove content incompatible with Wikipedia's licensing. It does not state that Wikipedia's license has been revoked from any contributions to those revisions which are compatible with that license (or the 3.0 license Wikipedia previously required contributors to agree to, which has the same requirement for attribution).

  You're reading something into it that simply is not there. Not maintaining attribution for all public revisions means making revisions which previously were compatible with Wikipedia's license now incompatible with Wikipedia's license by unilaterally violating the terms which past contributors agreed to when they published those revisions. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 01:14, 22 October 2026 (UTC)

Duel Monsters

Recently User:162 etc. retargeted this redirect to point to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters rather than the card game. This is understandable since Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game is entirely about the real-life trading card game, but at the same time, the fictional Duel Monsters game is played in far more than just the original series. I'm thinking it should either point to the main Yu-Gi-Oh! article or be disambiguated. The only thing that will decide this is a d-d-duel! I mean discussion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:54, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

I'll note that Yu-Gi-Oh!, as it is written today, barely mentions "Duel Monsters" at all. At first glance, I'm not really seeing the need for WP:NOPRIMARY here. 162 etc. (talk) 19:42, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

At the very least, Duel Monsters is mentioned in the plot summary of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, making it not a good thing to redirect to the first anime series. That's putting aside the fact that it's dubious Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters is even remotely close to a common name for the first show in the West, it may be better to simply call it Yu-Gi-Oh! (2000 TV series). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:38, 14 October 2026 (UTC)

You've activated my Trap card! I would agree that the current target is not very informative. "Duel Monsters" was used heavily (at least in the seasons listed on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters page) as the in-universe name for the card game. The same may also apply to the video games, but I'm less familiar with those. Retargeting to Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game#Comparison to other media might be an alternative as it at least talks about the TCG in reference to the anime/manga. Would need a hatnote on that section if we go with this option. --Crimson Bleeding SouIIs (talk) 10:07, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

Template:Relist

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

• Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 July 22 § Template:Relist – keep

• Template:Relist → Template:XfD relist  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This template name is a common typo for {{reflist}}, leading to XfD relist notices being displayed where they should not be displayed, with no indication that this is an error. I recommend that either (a) something clever be done to display an error message when this template name is used, or (b) this redirect be deleted and not recreated after all 100+ transclusions have been replaced (manually) with the correct template, and scripts have been updated as needed (I don't see any recent script-based placement of this template, but it might be hiding somewhere). – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:40, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

• I note that none of the transclusions are in article or wikipedia namespaces (apart from a single occurrence in an old RfD); almost all are in user sandboxes or user subpages entitled "citing sources", created with the edit history "automatic post as part of sandbox guided tour". I can't quickly find where the sources for that guided tour live, but I assume that the typo existed in a previous version and has now been fixed. Assuming that to be the case, delete to avoid future recurrence. Rosbif73 (talk) 08:32, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

  I found the guided tour and walked through it. It recommends "Reflist" but may have had a typo in the past (it's run a bunch of JavaScript that I didn't have access to). Also, the recommendation in the tour required/requires new editors to manually type "Reflist" into the Visual Editor template selection dialog, which may have been subject to error. Without a bunch of further research, I don't know if the errors were caused by a typo in the JavaScript instructions or by editors making typos. Given the volume of errors, I suspect the former. In any event, "relist" seems like a likely typo for "reflist" and does not appear to be used by XfD, which is all or mostly script-driven anyway, so a shortcut template name should not be needed. [Caveat: This whole talk page post contains a bunch of guesses and surmises. Actual facts are welcome.] – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:51, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

  I'm inclined to think the latter, people misreading "reflist" or auto-correct auto-correcting it. There are 43423 "User:*/citing sources" pages, and the ones having the typoed template don't seem to be clustered. Anomie⚔ 21:53, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

I definitely welcome this RfD being relisted, if only for the comedy value. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:54, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

The most policy-based way to do this would be to make all of our !votes conditional. We can say "Oppose unless this RfD is relisted". This way, the closer needs to relist the discussion, but then they can immediately close it because WP:RELIST says A relisted discussion may be closed once consensus is determined, without necessarily waiting for another seven days. So, as soon as the discussion is relisted, all our dormant conditional !votes immediately become valid, and therefore consensus is reached but only immediately after relisting. FaviFake (talk) 21:01, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

• Delete per nominator's rationale. Great and easy way to prevent these issues. Nobody uses that redirect anyway, everyone uses XFDcloser. FaviFake (talk) 20:42, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
• Maybe disambiguate given Template:RM relist but I don't see a problem with the current target otherwise given WP:RELIST goes to the deletion meaning and typos probably shouldn't prevent actual spellings. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:21, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

  Well, they should if the template is virtually only ever used through a user script like XFDcloser. FaviFake (talk) 22:07, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep - I share the concerns expressed by those who !voted to keep this just one year ago. The idea of a dab was also shut down there. There are over 500 existing links to this (now redirected) template. Given that this template is substituted, we cannot actually say how common the use of this is (though I will admit that XfD closer likely does get the vast use-majority these days). However, we should not count on gadgets continuing to function in the future and let our plain old relisting system decay. No opposition to something clever to prevent any potential disruptions to the mainspace when this happens to be misinvoked once in a blue moon. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 08:58, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

  we should not count on gadgets continuing to function in the future and let our plain old relisting system decay.
  What? Nothing stops us from creating a better shortcut like {{xfdr}} or {{rlist}}. Our plain old relisting system won't decay if this is deleted. FaviFake (talk) 00:49, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

  Those shortcuts are not better. This was the (15-year) original name of the template, which has existed for 20 years. Manual relisting will only be hampered if this cannot be substituted. Furthermore, people merely looking for this template for one reason or another may be severely set back. The benefit of deletion does not outweigh the boon of its retention. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 23:09, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep per Godsy and arguments raised in the last RFD. I am persuaded by the arguments that the potential downside of deleting these redirects from longstanding former names for these templates is greater than the hypothetical benefit. This may be a common typo for {{Reflist}} but the error would be immediately evident in article space, which is likely why this is not a live issue. The erroneous usage in a few sandboxes is not actually harmful. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 09:23, 11 October 2026 (UTC)
• Comment: I genuinely don't have an opinion on the nomination, but as a reply to the "this shows up when people make a typo" folk - if this is kept, just set a namespace-conditional check so that if this template is not in the WP space (because as far as I am aware that is the only location the template should be used) it gives a more-visible error that directs the person to rethink their life choices. (please ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 20:18, 11 October 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to 2024 Iran–Israel conflict or refine to Iran–Israel conflict#2024 conflict? LIrala (talk) 18:01, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

• I mostly agree with the nomination (2024 Iran–Israel conflict would be the way to go), although any of the redirects that specifically mention "Israeli retaliatory strikes" could potentially be confusing since Israel attacked Iran first on two separate occasions (technically, Israel retaliated in response to Iran's retaliation both times, but this subtlety is lost in redirect titles). Section links wouldn't work here since there were two separate sets of exchanges of attacks by the two countries. My verdict is redirect all except the "Israeli retaliatory strikes" (unsure on these) to 2024 Iran–Israel conflict. — An anonymous username, not my real name 22:00, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

Delete. This is an unmentioned redirect that requires some explanation at the target in order to be helpful.

I am unable to find reliable sources that would support adding content to the target. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 12:07, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

I don't know much about this show but there's a YouTube playlist with over 100 Ned Mandingo videos associated with Bubba, as well as Apple Music and an IMDB page where Ned is a featured credit for a Bubba related project. I don't see why this redirect is unneeded Avienby (talk) 12:13, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

If someone searched "Ned Mandingo" they are expecting to find information about, well, Ned Mandingo. And we have none. When we don't cover a topic, we shouldn't have a redirect to nowhere that will only confuse, mislead, or irritate readers who've expected to find a discussion of the thing they've clicked on or searched for. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 13:49, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

Then we should add info about Ned to the page and redirect to that, it seems to be a prevalent character considering 100+ videos in the playlist Avienby (talk) 16:22, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

• (edit conflict) Retarget to corona dab page, as there are at least two relevant Japan-related targets. Covid-19 response is likely the more primary topic over the Toyota, but considering jawiki's target, I think this a case of the term being too general to determine a primary.

  The two Japan-related entries are Toyota Corona, which features the katakana, and Corona (Takemitsu), which does not include the katakana. The Corona dab page does of course list SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 but of course does not list Japan or any other individual country's response. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 20:16, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

  Although List of compositions by Tōru Takemitsu includes the kana twice, for Corona II and for Corona for Pianist(s) which is a piped link to Corona (Takemitsu), both released in the same year. There's also Corona-chan and a character named "Corona" mentioned at Funny Pets. I've added all these to the dab page. The case is getting stronger for retargeting to the dab. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 20:34, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget to Corona dab page. There are now several entries on the page where "コロナ" appears in the article. Ultimately, I don't know how helpful this will be to readers. Corona is a very long dab page and the katakana does not appear there so readers will have to hunt around. The association with COVID-19 pandemic in Japan is obvious but I don't think this is a reasonable way to search for this. The extreme global interest in the pandemic perhaps increases the plausibility but it is reasonably likely that readers would be searching for the name of one of the other Japanese topics with the native name "コロナ" as opposed to using a shortened form of the Japanese for "coronavirus". —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 20:50, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget to Northland Conservation Park. It is part of that park & mentioned in the list of forests in the article. Nurg (talk) 06:53, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

  So there are actually two forests with this name... one west of Manukau North that is a commercial forest that is leased by a Maori trust and the Herekino Forest conservation park you mentioned to the west

  The retarget is a good suggestion, although I'm now unsure what to do given that there are two forests here. I feel a conservation forest is the more likely target than a commercial one but the commercial one has multiple archaeological reports on it. Traumnovelle (talk) 07:07, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

  I can't readily find anything on the web about a commercial forest called Herekino Forest. In any event, it doesn't seem to be mentioned in any WP article. So we can retarget to Northland Conservation Park for now and reconsider if the commercial forest ever comes up in an article. Nurg (talk) 09:56, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

  It has several archaeological reports available on Heritage New Zealand's greenstone library. Although we could just add a footnote that mentions the commercial forest and that it isn't to be confused with it. Traumnovelle (talk) 20:31, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

The MIPS article infobox does mention it supports both types of endianness, and el in this case means little endian, but it's not obvious, it requires either prior knowledge or a fair bit of research to surmise that from the current article content. We should probably just add a sentence about it. --Joy (talk) 05:35, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

1234qwer1234qwer4, Joy, there are two terms, "mipsel" and "mipsle" that both seem to refer to MIPS little endian.
The term "mipsel" is probably best known for its use by Debian and derivatives (and that's probably what most readers are looking for when they search for it), so changing the target to Debian release version history#Debian 13 (Trixie) may also work. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 02:36, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

• Mahore → Mayotte  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There is no indication in the article of why Mahoré redirects to Mayotte. There used to be a mention of "Mahore" in previous versions but not in the current version, and the word doesn't appear in the native-language article fr:Mayotte. fr:Mahore redirects to fr:Grande-Terre (Mayotte), so I suggest English Wikipedia does the same and we: retarget Mahoré and Mahore to Grande-Terre, Mayotte; add "also called Mayotte Island, or Mahoré in shimaoré) to the lead; and delete the hatnote at Mayotte.

• Support. Grande-Terre, Mayotte is called Maore or Mahori according to its infobox.

• Comment: in French, for which Mayotte of course has affinity, mahoré is an alternative spelling of mahorais, which translates as the adjective mahoran, i.e. either the demonym or the language; the alternative name for the island is usually spelled maoré. One solution would be to retarget to mahoran and add a mention of the French equivalents in the opening sentence of that dab page. Rosbif73 (talk) 07:41, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

  On further thought, target both to Handeck and add a hatnote linking to wikt:hand-egg – unless a mention of the slang term is added somewhere, in which case target that mention. Rosbif73 (talk) 14:54, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

Please merge this and the discussion below. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 16:58, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

The rationale for these is not quite the same as for Handegg (one word), so I think it's preferable to keep the discussions separate. Rosbif73 (talk) 14:54, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

• Soft redirect to Wiktionary. As far as I know, no sources use the spellings "Hand Egg" or "Hand-egg" for the village in Switzerland. I think these spellings are only used for the joke about different kinds of football. But American football isn't a good target either – if a reader is trying to understand what the term "Hand Egg" means, the American football article doesn't adequately answer the question; instead the reader is likely to think they've ended up at that page by mistake. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 22:19, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The nominator is referring to the their rationale for another (now closed) discussion, i.e. Shouldn't it redirect to American football or something similar? @Candidyeoman55: Please be wary of such references; discussions can easily move far apart through relisting and different closing schedules can obscure once prominent links.

• Soft redirect to wikt:handegg per Mx Granger (changing my previous !vote as this seems a better solution for the two-word or hyphenated spellings, in the absence of a suitable mention on enwiki). Rosbif73 (talk) 08:26, 8 October 2026 (UTC)
• Retarget to American football: I've spent a lot of time over the past decade plus talking about American football online, and I don't like it, but this is a very common thing for people to call American football (in a mocking way). I genuinely believe that, if this search term were used, people would be searching for American football as opposed to the city. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:35, 16 October 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget both to American football. Both "hand egg" and "hand-egg" appear to be alternate spellings of "handegg" when referring to American football. On the other hand, unlike handegg as one word, neither are alternate spellings of Handeck. ~2026-48129-52 (talk) 15:47, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

  Firstly, why target American football when the term can also refer to Canadian, Australian and possibly even Rugby football? And secondly, the term isn't mentioned at the proposed target, potentially surprising a reader unfamiliar with the term. Rosbif73 (talk) 09:16, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget to wikt:handegg where the term is explained. I oppose retargeting to American football as it's too narrow. Perhaps a local target could be Football (ball) where it describes which codes use an elongated (or egg-shaped) ball. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:05, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

Dozens of redirects with minor spelling differences by blocked user. See other mass redirect discussions at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 September 9#Eu Commission v Hungary. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 14:27, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

as a heads-up, massxfd can make the process of nomming multiple redirects at once a little easier, and avoid cluttering talk pages consarn _{(talk beige) (count ribs)} 14:37, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

Keep most, as despite being made by a blocked editor a lot of these are uncontroversially reasonable spelling variations. It's trivial to find variation in hyphenation between "trans-saharan"/"sub-saharan" and "transsaharan"/"subsaharan" on Scholar and Google Books; redirects where this is the only difference are fine and are useful for both searches and internal linking. Variation between "Saharan" and "Sahara" also seems generally fine; eg. "trans-saharan slave trade" and "trans-sahara slave trade" both yield results on Google Books. Searching for "[the] Sahara slave trade" shows that the unprefixed "Sahara" is also plausible variation.

Delete redirects where the hyphen is replaced by a space, as I don't see much evidence that this is common in my external search results and this isn't conventional for English in general. Seems more like an SEO technique than plausible language.

Delete redirects which capitalise Sahara mid-word without a hyphen ("transSaharan", "subSaharan"). These are entirely unnecessary for searching (the search engine ignores case whenever possible and will redirect you even if no explicit redirect exists; try a search for TraNs-SaHaRan sLave trAde) and are worse than useless for linking as they're incorrect but appear in blue, making unintended use easier. I strongly suspect these titles reflect how sometimes hyphens get omitted in, eg, previews extracted from pages on Google Books, even when they're present on the actual page itself. This is something a machine would do. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 15:24, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

Delete all relating to "Sub Saharan" (too lazy to list all, just spent a lot of time writing elsewhere): there were multiple slave trades south of the Sahara desert which could be discussed, including (arguably) the Atlantic Slave Trade, so the use of that namespace specifically for the one slave trade noted for crossing the Sahara satisfies confusion under WP:RDELETE.. HiddenHistoryPedia (talk) 14:41, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

Pinging @HiddenHistoryPedia 9ninety (talk) 09:16, 7 October 2026 (UTC)

Then I reckon that needs review as well, as it just seems to be a strange attempt to attain "equivalency" with the Atlantic slave trade. But I'll agree that this might be a matter separate to the purpose of this specific nom. HiddenHistoryPedia (talk) 13:04, 7 October 2026 (UTC)

@Scyrme: What is your opinion on the "Sub" redirects, as these arguments came after your !vote? Also, was sub-subsaharan a typo for sub-saharan? Jay 20:15, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

Since sub-Saharan slave trade isn't nominated and currently redirects to trans-Saharan slave trade, it doesn't make sense to delete its reasonable variations here. 9ninety (talk) 10:01, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

@Jay: Yes, it was a typo. I agree with 9ninety. I'll also add:

Regarding there being multiple slave trades, sure there were many local slave trades in sub-Saharan Africa, but these redirect titles refer to the whole region implying a search for the wider network of slave trading.

Practically speaking, it was clear that variations on "sub-Saharan slave trade" were being used in (at least most of) the results on Books/Scholar to refer to the trading of sub-Saharan Africans as part of the trans-Saharan slave trade.

If HiddenHistoryPedia has access to contrary sources, then it would make sense to start a separate nomination focusing specifically on sub-Saharan slave trade and its variations, after all the implausible variations have been weeded out to keep the discussion from being derailed. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 14:25, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

Keep. There is no other marae called Te Iringa; perhaps you are confusing this with the wharenui called Te Iringa at Terere Marae on the outskirts of Ōpōtiki? Moreover, Kaikohe is the nearest township to Te Iringa Marae (less than 5 km drive from the marae to the edge of town, according to Google Maps) but you recently removed mention of Te Iringa Marae from the Kaikohe article, and reverted my edit when I reverted your removal. It seems perfectly reasonable to me that Te Iringa Marae should be mentioned on the Kaikohe page, given its proximity to the town, along with the other two marae listed. As there is no other marae of the same name and hence no ambiguity, the redirect should be kept. Paora (talk) 10:21, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

In that case it should be retargeted to list of marae in the Northland Region where it is mentioned.

>It seems perfectly reasonable to me that Te Iringa Marae should be mentioned on the Kaikohe page, given its proximity to the town, along with the other two marae listed

• Comment - Retargeting to SAR supergroup is my first instinct, but I notice this will create circular redirects on the SAR supergroup page. Someone with knowledge of the topic should confirm the intended destination of those [[TSAR supergroup|TSAR]] links.

Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 11:59, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

I had the same thoughts. Neither article contains a lot of substantive coverage of TSAR but SAR supergroup is the logical place where this might be expanded. The brief mention at Diaphoretickes § Evolution just says that Telonemia [...] is sometimes resolved as the sister clade of the SAR supergroup, forming the hypothesized TSAR clade. That makes Diaphoretickes an improper target to discuss TSAR on the whole. The circular link at SAR supergroup can either be removed or it can be left as an acceptable circular redirect if editors think this has standalone article potential. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 14:07, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

Support retargeting TSAR to Diaphoretickes. TSAR includes groups that SAR does not, and is fully included in Diaphoretickes, the nearest parent clade. Furthermore, its validity is still unknown, as the 'T' often branches with Haptista instead of SAR. The Evolution section at Diaphoretickes covers this information. For these reasons, TSAR redirecting to Diaphoretickes is preferable, and is a surefire way to avoid misleading readers into thinking SAR and TSAR are equivalent. — Snoteleks (talk) 14:10, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I think I initially misread Diaphoretickes, and did not bother to look at the taxobox. I do think the information could be presented more clearly in the article. I've followed the TSAR discussion from afar and my (limited!) understanding is that it is disputed but still felt to be relevant enough to cover somewhere. This is a bit beyond the scope of RFD but I do think the coverage could be improved while still kept fairly succinct. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 14:15, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

@Myceteae Agreed that coverage should be improved. I have added some more bits of info at Telonemid and will try to add something at Diaphoretickes itself. — Snoteleks (talk) 14:37, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

• Target both to SAR supergroup per my reply above. I've notified WP:PROTISTA, WP:ALGAE, WP:PLANTS, and WP:TOL to get input from subject-matter experts and would be open to amending my !vote if there are factors I've not considered. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 14:10, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

I agree with Snotelek that targeting the least inclusive group that contains TSAR is usually the best solution. But TSAR is sort of SAR sensu lato so might be a more natural place to discuss it. It's mentioned in the lede and the article could be reorganised to have a short section on TSAR that could be linked in the redirect. Likewise, Diaphoretickes could have a sections on TSAR/SAR and other component supergroups, but the article isn't organised that way. TSAR is mentioned but seems quite dismissive of the hypothesis. At the moment SAR seems a better target because the issue is addressed in the one paragraph lede.  —  Jts1882 | talk  14:39, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

This was part of the thinking that originally led me favor SAR supergroup. Either target is justifiable and the coverage could be improved in either location to better support these redirects. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 16:08, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget to Telonemid, where there seems to be the most coverage of TSAR. I think this makes sense, as the difference between the TSAR and SAR would be the inclusion of Telonemia. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:23, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

Disambiguate TSAR with Tsar and TSAR's current target, Retarget the other one to SAR supergroup. It seems plausible to me that someone looking up the first redirect could be looking for the Slavic title. | One Reaction was here. Got a complaint? 19:58, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget to Diaphoretickes. More relevant main target. Go D. Usopp (talk) 12:16, 16 October 2026 (UTC)
• Disambiguate TSAR per OneReaction5890 and delete TSAR supergroup to allow for search results, as it's covered on multiple pages. Second choice redirect the latter to SAR (clade), as being the least likely to WP:ASTONISH what with its clear reference to TSAR supergroups in the lead (which could then be further made bold). _signed, Rosguill ^talk 18:37, 30 October 2026 (UTC)
