Speedy directs
[rievdat wikiteavsttain]Heya! I meant to leave you a note on the Inari Saami wp that the situation is the same over here, but fell asleep instead :) - Yupik (ságastallan) ođđajagimánu 2 b. 2023 dii. 22.39 (UTC)
- @Yupik: 😊 wish you a good sleep, anyway this wiki's situation also different from the previous one. it dates back to 2011 o_o i am quite impressed. Sakura emad (ságastallan) ođđajagimánu 2 b. 2023 dii. 22.43 (UTC)
- This one is a mess, the other one is too new to be too bad :D -Yupik (ságastallan) ođđajagimánu 2 b. 2023 dii. 22.59 (UTC)
- @Yupik: oh, then shouldn't we delete it? i don't know the encyclopedic purpose for broken redirects, that's why i am asking especially the old ones. Sakura emad (ságastallan) ođđajagimánu 2 b. 2023 dii. 23.01 (UTC)
- The main purpose that comes to mind is that sometimes we need redirects from names that are not obvious to everyone. So Fred-René Buljo is a good example of this one. His name can be any sort of combinations of Fred-René Øvergård Buljo. Having redirects to the most commonly used one gives potential editors a leg up on what other names they can search under when they write an article about him. While I do not know his Saami name, many of the people that are written about on these two wikipedias have a "passport name", variations of it, and their Saami name. -Yupik (ságastallan) ođđajagimánu 2 b. 2023 dii. 23.05 (UTC)
- @Yupik: from what i understood you talk about live redirects, ofc i agree with you, i've created dozens of them and i know their purpose. what i am talking about is broken ones, the ones that doesn't serve the purpose of being redirected to anywhere.

- The "Válgaboađus" type ones though, no idea why they were created :D Likely the editor ended up going down a rabbit hole on something else and forgot about them. I'll go delete those. (I was referring to broken redirects :)). -Yupik (ságastallan) ođđajagimánu 2 b. 2023 dii. 23.09 (UTC)

- They were :) And I think Muotâ has created or is in the process of creating all the articles for the broken redirect links on smnwiki, so win-win :) -Yupik (ságastallan) ođđajagimánu 13 b. 2023 dii. 12.45 (UTC)
