Ligatures
[edit]There's something weird going on between Wikipedia:Template index/Redirect pages and {{R from ligature}}/{{R to ligature}}. The former gives ß as a ligature that should be under {{R from ASCII-only}} when it's used to substitute for SS, while it gives {{R to ligature}} when a B is used to substitute for it, but the ligature template pages make no such distinction and seem to imply that they should be used any time an ß is involved. I'm left confused as to what redirects including the ß should cover – the template index seems to imply that the ligature template is for characters that look similar, which I don't think is accurate, but I don't know for certain. I would think some more clarification is needed, or an updating of the examples in some fashion; I'd do it myself, but I don't know what these templates' intended (and actual) use-cases are.

Of course {from alternative spelling} works fine, but I'm sure this redirect comes up a fair amount. Tule-hog (talk) 06:49, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done - needs consensus. Tule-hog (talk) 21:35, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Rm incorrect example of {R to user namespace}
[edit]![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
The example given for {{R to user namespace}}
of
User:SuperEditor → User:Tricky Ed
is incorrect if the rule on no intra-user namespace redirects is true. Tule-hog (talk) 21:28, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Renamed users have userpage redirects. As do misspelled user names. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 02:58, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- To clarify, I didn't mean 'no intra-user namespace redirects' in general; only for
{{R to user namespace}}
. Fromthis redirect page must be outside the user namespace
.Tule-hog (talk) 02:59, 6 August 2024 (UTC) - The existence of the rule for
{{R to user namespace}}
, as well as the cases you have mentioned, is the motivation for my request below. Tule-hog (talk) 03:03, 6 August 2024 (UTC)- An alternative proposal would be to strike the rule, but I imagine it's there for a good reason. Tule-hog (talk) 03:04, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- To clarify, I didn't mean 'no intra-user namespace redirects' in general; only for
Recommend {from user nickname}/{from alternate username}

From what I understand, redirects from similarly spelled usernames are allowed - see User:Tule-Hog. A maintenance category like {{R from alternate username}}
could be used to distinguish intra-user namespace redirects that are nicknames from other types of intra-user namespace redirects. Tule-hog (talk) 21:32, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Not done - consensus needed. Tule-hog (talk) 21:35, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
