[edit] (I) - initial
The hard work you speak of, was a double redirect to a non-existant article, the #redirect was totally defunct, non-functional, unusable, try it for yourself if you don't believe me.. that makes this tag {{subst:mediawiki:noarticletext}}, appropriate, better than clogging the servers with uneeded/unusable redirects
- The redirect wasn't defunct, as it's been fixed by now -- (drini's page|☎) 05:39, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

- If that 's indeed the case, it was a recent change, I checked first, at the time it was a double redirect, ie, defunct--Hey you 05:40, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- No, it was just pointing that the target of the pointed redirect was wrong (so it was X --> Y --> Z and Z non existing, but changing Z to W and making X--> W fixed it.
- I understand your POV, however I was under the impression that this encylopedia was supposed to be NPOV, which makes me right, obviously--Hey you 05:53, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- It's not a POV issue. There was already an existing article at Political compass (with compass lowercase) and Authoritarian right was a double redirect pointing to Political Compass which didn't exist (notice upper case C). So the fix is turning the double redirect into a single redirect at the proper article. So after my changes there was NO double redirect anymore. So I'm effectively, "destroyiing" the double redirect too -- -- (drini's page|☎) 06:05, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- But your changes came after my changes, I couldn't see your changes, because they didn't exist yet--Hey you 06:06, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm just pointing that a double redirect is fixed not by deleting them but by turning them into single redirects. -- (drini's page|☎) 06:08, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- And I'm just pointing out that there don't need to be 20 or 30 different redirects to the same article, just because there can be--Hey you 06:09, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

- Fine, but how am I supposed to be a martyr for the cause of double redirect abolition if I suffer no consequnces what-so-ever for my initial wave of martyrdom?--Hey you 06:01, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

- No, you should have just simply fixed the redirect. -- (drini's page|☎) 05:40, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Why, there was no article there, there must be ten zillion different redirects leading to that one page as it is, does one more empty page with no content other than a redirect actually contribute anything or just clog up server space? I mean, there literally was no article, the first edit was that redirect, it was unneeded--Hey you 05:44, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Political compass did exist. So you should have just changed the redirect to Political Compass to Political compass
- . -- (drini's page|☎) 05:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Not only does it exist but it, is in fact, being proposed for a merger with yet another article, which would have left behind what? You guessed it, a tripple redirect--Hey you 05:49, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- No, when the articles be merged, it's task of the merge to fix the redirect. And in any case (since now it's a sINGLE redirect) would become a double redirect (which would be fixed). -- (drini's page|☎) 05:53, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- The point is that it's uneeded, there was no article there in the first place, does this mean I can go out and create the article Political Compass(figure of speech) just so I can go and add a redirect to Political Compass?? My point is this, what tiny fraction of these redirects ACTUALLY need to be there at all? Small I'd bet--Hey you 05:56, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- *sigh* Political compass existed already, it was Political Compass which didn't exist (entry titles are capital sensitive). There was a double redirect to the second (nonexisting9 which I fixed it turning it into a single redirect to the first. -- (drini's page|☎) 05:59, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well, that would seem to be the point, why should every single case sensitive permutation of a article title have it's own redirect, it's clear over kill, any intelligent person should be able to say to themselves, gee political compass doesn't exist, why don't I try Political compass instead, now you'll just encourage them to go out and add a whole bunch of uneeded redirects--Hey you 06:07, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

- When did that happen? I haven't done anything since my last warning--Hey you 06:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

- Oh well, at least Point (II) is satisfied, I can now go down in wiki-history as a 24-wiki-matyr, kind of so, so, but not much I can do about it--Hey you 06:38, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
