Bulbapedia talk:Policy: Difference between revisions

:I agree with you, to an extent. Some misspelling redirects are incredibly useful, but in the past they have got a bit ridiculous. I don't remember any examples off the top of my head, but we seriously had to think how someone would misspell some names in the ways they created redirects for. For things like repeated letters, or 'Feraligater' (which probably already exists) that should be okay. More input welcome. &mdash;'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 10:32, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

::If they're searching "roggenrolla", they aren't counting (11 letters). Anyway, I don't feel typo redirects are a good thing, UNLESS you can cull out any current misspelled redirects with the (Pokemon/Pokémon) tags (then they can be cool), because that'll only wind up encouraging misspellings here on the Pedia (I'm sure they already do). "Ninetails" is my misspelling vice (it's Ninetales, and I'm constantly having to check which one is correct). "Ninetails (Pokémon)" ''exists'' and do you know how much that pisses me off because it looks like the right one every time? That's like saying, "hey kids, it's cool to typo here on important links that only redirect! We don't mind!" <nowiki>{{p|Ninetails}}</nowiki> is a functioning link to [[Ninetales (Pokémon)]], and I do not think we should be encouraging that in the least. Aye for ''common'' typo redirects without any fanfare at their backs. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 12:04, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
