::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.

:::Luna, great point. With the current redirect system, I don't think anyone's going to bother searching "Ninetails (Pokémon)" anyway. —'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 03:24, 25 May 2011 (UTC) | :::Luna, great point.

::::Yeah, I wouldn't want to have "Mispelling (Pokemon)" redirects because I don't think many people are going to bother to type them in like that. I hope you don't actually expect people to stop and count the number of letters in the name they're spelling :P . So between the two of you is that a go-ahead to make some redirects?
