Talk:Redacted

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] the film

Instance of "redacted" that refer to the film, IMO, should use piped links. Geo Swan (talk) 04:45, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Considering that "Redacted" is specifically in the past tense, as is the film, it would seem more logical to have "Redacted" redirect to the film. For the sake of compromise though, I've created a disambiguation page for now. --Edward Sandstig (talk) 20:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Linking to a past tense form of a disambiguation title to make it into a specialized redirect page for one of the disambiguated articles, "Sanitization (classified information)," seems like a rather kludgy solution to me. If Redact was not already a disambiguation page, I would have suggested that links pointing to redacted but not specifically referring to the past tense be re-linked as [[redact]]ed instead. On the plus side, not very many articles link to here, so it won't be much work converting the links into direct pipe links.—Tokek (talk) 16:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I have fixed the few instances of "redacted" links in articles to pipe link directly to the corresponding articles. Abstaining from the issue of where the term should take the user, since it is currently acting as a disambig, I will point it to a pre-existing disambig instead, to avoid dupe.—Tokek (talk) 16:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
