Forum:Concerning Redirects...
Template:Forum archives header  While editing and overall browsing, I have noticed that several articles link to a redirect that essentially redirects to another redirect that redirects back to the same page. What is the point of such an unnecessary run-around? If it links to the same article, why have it linked at all? Supreme Dalek, Dalek Supreme, and Black Dalek are notorious for this unnecessary redirection loop. I was going to unlink their respective links in that article, but I first would like to know why this was decided in the first place. If the seperate articles were deleted, then forgo the redirection loop and just unlink the unnecessary linked portions. Having redirects over redirects that circle the reader back to where they started seems rather inefficient and pointless. =/ Trak Nar Ramble on 04:45, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- There seems to be a lot of over lap of information as well. What those three pages need is a full re-write and re-ogranisation, at some point along the way it seems with the various re-directs someone has tried to consolidate the various bits of information.
- I think there should probably be a page dedicated for specific Dalek Supremes, the one from Journey's End is specifically named as such. --Tangerineduel 10:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- It probably comes from people being unable to decide on a correct name, and people not fixing redirects when the page is moved. Jack's the man - 10:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
