Forum:SH Archive/Redirects from misspellings

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

I wish that there was some way we could have all redirects from misspellings appear in a different color from other links. That way, people could know that the name is misspelled and that it needs to be fixed. I know we keep some of these redirects around to help people find articles, but is it worth it to allow people to become lax with spelling names correctly? Finding articles is pretty easy. I mean, if someone searches for "Obi Wan Kenobi", the real deal is the first thing to come up. Would it be so bad if someone used "Jar-Jar Binks" in an article and it came up as a redlink? Everyone knows we already have an article for Jar Jar, so I'd think they would just look it up and find the correct spelling.

And don't even get me started on this...

So can we delete some of these redirects? It seems to me that they are doing more harm than good. -- Ozzel 02:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
