Talk:Traveller

Bad spelling
Do we really need a redirect for ppl who can't spell? Won't this just open a floodgate for similar cases? --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 00:34, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * This is actually the european spelling of traveler. We already have Traveler, The Traveller, and Nicholas the Traveller, so why not this? --Macros 04:25, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes I am aware of that, but it's GuildWiki policy to stick to US-English spelling, or at least it was, then it wasn't, then was, now we're going to flip back again it seems, so screw it, I've just stopped caring anymore. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 05:30, October 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Personally, I think extra redirects are ok. I'd rather let users tell us (through article traffic stats) whether the redirects are useful or not, rather than try to guess. (And while the articles should use US-English, redirects are about convenience more than consistency &mdash; in which case, should the policy matter for them?)  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 05:55, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Guess I'm just a left-over from the old GuildWiki days (user-id:47 prior to Wikia's rename, thx guys), when keeping consistency of style, formatting etc was important, but it's going so far out the window these days, and I no longer have the time or the energy to fight it anymore. There was a time when ppl who fought to keep this wiki neat-n-clean were the community leaders, now you just need to be in the right guilds, have the right mates, or spam alot of rubbish on ppl's talk_pages.

 * I'm confused, Wolfie. Wiki style remains consistent in the articles (or at least, folks try to keep it so). Help me to understand how redirecting from a misspelled word undermines the policy? I'm not asking you to fight; I'm asking to convince me that I'm barking up the wrong tree. I'm happy to help clear out inappropriate redirects.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 06:26, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
