The problem did not come from redirect pages, it's just because he changed the caps in the titles of articles, which made the ''original'' pages to be redirect pages, what I did was just restoring these pages to their original (identical and capitalized) titles and delete those redirect pages left which ''weren't linked to by any other articles''. -- [[User:Gilbert|Gilbot]] 03:33, 10 December 2005 (CET) | The problem did not come from redirect pages, it's just because he changed the caps in the titles of articles, which made the ''original'' pages to be redirect pages, what I did was just restoring these pages to their original (identical and capitalized) titles and delete those redirect pages left which ''weren't linked to by any other articles''. -- [[User:Gilbert|Gilbot]] 03:33, 10 December 2005 (CET) | ||
*I don't really have a more tactful way of putting this, but you're rather obviously new to wiki editing, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Radiant%21 I'm not]. This is precisely what [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect redirects] are for. If people create an article with an improperly spelled or improperly capitalized title, then the wiki can be improved by fixing that mistake. If there happened to be links to the original, the redirect will fix it ''without anybody noticing''. They click on the (also improperly spelled or capitalized) link and end up at the proper page. | |||
*For instance, when I renamed "Lens Flare", I fixed the (single) link going there because that link was also miscapitalized. When you undid my rename, you didn't fix it so you actually broke the (now properly spelled) link, forcing someone else to change it back to an improperly spelled link to make it work again. The problem is in you deleting useful redirects (and in you reverting other people's work for no good reason), not in any use of the move function. This is, frankly, not very useful. | |||
