User talk:66.92.33.187

Hi, we don't keep redirects for pluralisation, the search works just fine :) &mdash; Skuld  10:24, 13 June 2006 (CDT)
 * (1) I assume you mean capitalization? Otherwise Build to Builds would be in violation.
 * (2) The admins really need to work out a redirect policy guide to avoid wasting contributors' time.
 * (3) I am curious what exactly is saved by not redirecting, and how it is a higher priority than getting users to their destination faster?
 * Thanks, -- 66.92.33.187 05:23, 14 June 2006 (CDT)


 * 1. Builds is a list of builds, hence the plural. Having said that, I agree that build shouldn't be a redirect to builds, but instead it should be the definition article. Infact, I'm going to write that article right now.
 * 2. Agreed. I'm not sure if there is a policy article describing the principles we use. If yes, then it is rather well hidden.
 * 3. The reason is simple: If we'd create redirects for all possible variations of article names, including plural/singular, capital/lowercase, verb endings like "ing" or "ed", spelling errors and many more, we'd end up with thousands of additional redirects. At one point we decided not to go that way. Especially since the search engine has become a lot more flexible and is no longer case sensitive, it simply isn't necessary any more. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 06:13, 14 June 2006 (CDT)
