Delete without prejudice against immediate recreation as a valid shortcut to a target that has something to do with mixed case. In general, shortcuts are ambiguous; it's impossible to make a shortcut name completely unambiguous in every case. Hatnotes can be placed at the target if desired, but ambiguity by itself does not block the existence of a shortcut. However, the target should be tagged with {{
shortcut}} and should in some way relate to the name of the shortcut. --

- Change target to
exclamation mark to
Negation#Programming language and ordinary language per suggestion below by
User:J947 (I expanded the target header and will install a cross namespace hatnote per common practice at articles like
conflict of interest). That target article's lead explains that "!A" means "not A". This redirect used to point to
exclamation mark, but
someone changed it because "the useful content on exclamation mark was deleted" but that content has long been restored. A lot of people encounter the term "!vote" but are never told what the exclamation mark means.

- Delete I don't think that searchers looking for the term "!vote" would necessarily be enlightened by the
exclamation mark article. If there were a "Wikipedia" subsection to the "Use in various fields" section that specifically mentioned !vote", then I would agree with the retarget. But generally such explanations are in the "WP:" area, otherwise as the nom. suggests things get to meta. --

I don't know exactly what we should do, but the status quo cannot stand.
We have many similar redirects targeting at least three different targets, all in some way related to the defeat of Nazi Germany. This is confusing and either retargeting, deletion, or something else should occur to fix this predicament. —

Cross-namespace redirect, these are highly discouraged. If this had links, I wouldn't advocate deleting, but whatlinkshere states that it is linked only on exactly on userpage. This redirected is of a discouraged type, and deleting would not have harmful effects.

- Keep. This is one of the exceptions to the general discouragement for these cross-namespace redirects because it is helpful for very new users who aren't yet familiar with the concept of namespaces. This is not a term that is used in any context outside of MediaWiki that I can find, so anyone searching for it is going to be looking for this target and there is no danger of confusion with any encyclopaedic content (if there was there would be an uncontroversial self-ref hatnote). The page view stats show that it is a well-used redirect with 10-30 hits each month this year and over 200 hits last year. Deletion would accordingly making things harder for new users without any significant benefit at all.

- Comment I doubt that a "very new user" have knowledge about autopatrol while not knowing how to use namespaces. If they knew about autopatrol, a jargon very unlikely to be known by a newbie, they surely also know how to use namespaces. I have no opinion whether to delete this or keep, both of which are harmless in my opinion.

These redirects look inverted to me, just based on
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). I'd concede that there seems to be roughly equal coverage for both this nick name and the real name, Bernabe Buscayno. But nothing to disproportionately say that his real name is superceded, which is usually the naming convention in Wikipedia.

Nothing links to this, and that character doesn't exist on any normal keyboard, so unlikely anyone would search for Engliſh rather than English. If you know what ſ means, then you'll know how to spell English

- Retarget to
Long s per
WP:LEAST. If someone searches this word, it is probable that he/she has found this spelling somewhere and copied it in the search box. It is likely that he/she is looking for the explanation of this spelling rather than searching for "English". If he/she is really searching for "English", the explanation found in
Long s will give them the indication for getting the searched article.
D.Lazard (

16:53, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

- I would strongly oppose a retarget there. Someone searching "Engliſh" would be wanting
English, of which "Engliſh" is a valid (but archaic) spelling. If someone specifically wanted to know about the long s, they can copy and paste that specific letter—which is exactly how it would work for any other letter that may look weird. For example, I would seriously hope no one would consider retargeting
façade to
Ç or
naïvety to
Ï. Someone would search "façade" because they want to learn about facades, not about the c-cedilla. --
Tavix (

17:04, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
reply
- Your analogy doesn't work. Long s, as you said is archaic and no longer used practically in this age.
Ç in
façade and
Ï in
naïvety are still used practically, so it's more likely that average user (especially those who don't use English as their first language) will search with those letters than
long s. And unlike long s, you cannot turn, for example,
coconut into
çoçonut, so
WP:PANDORA won't apply to those letters, but it does apply to
long s, because you can turn every s that is not the last letter to ſ.
Pandakekok9 (

WP:PANDORA is misleading nonsense at best. Every redirect is evaluated on its own merits, and if it is useful it is created/kept and if it is not it is deleted (or not created in the first place), this is regardless of what or how many similar redirects do or do not exist. While theoretically any non-final "s" could be replaced with "ſ" in practice there are a finite number of terms including it that are actually used to search for information on the English Wikipedia.
Thryduulf (

- Long s in Wikipedia's search box will automatically convert it into normal s. However, it doesn't get converted when put in the browser's address bar, so your argument is valid.

Keep the page but Agree the redirect is misleading. Holocaust restitution is a larger subject than the reparations agreement between Israel and W. Germany alone.

Keep the Reparation Agreement between Israel and Germany is correctly named. It is an article about a specific Reparations Agreement (i.e., between Israel and Germany) and not an article about reparation agreements in general. Reparations Agreement is too general title for this subject (there are others besides this one that could be covered under the broader topic with definitions, background, history, examples, similarities and differences, results, etc. regarding the subject in general). FYI, I had already moved the titled back to
Reparations Agreement between Israel and the Federal Republic of Germany before I saw this discussion. --

This redirect suggests that all Filipinos who believe in National Democracy are automatically communists, or fronts for the communist party, even though it is not. This is dangerous as red-tagging is rampant in my country. I suggest retargeting to
