Template:WPRedir Sidebar Welcome to the Redirect WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving the standard of redirects on Wikipedia.

Links

• 'What redirects here', useful for finding nonsense redirects or cleaning up pages that have too many redirects linking to them.

Goals

• To fix up redirect problems, such as double redirects
• Add redirects on the basis of common misspellings, etc.
• Add redirects on the basis of international spellings and names.

Scope

• The project covers all articles in the English Wikipedia and all articles in the Simple English Wikipedia.

If you don't have an account, and therefore can't create pages, please place requests at the end of the next section, in the format:

Evolutionism > Evolution

Evolutionism is defined by Merriam-Webster as: "a theory that the various types of animals and plants have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations ; also : the process described by this theory". The article titled Evolutionism seems to be more dedicated to complaining about how creationists use the term than the term itself. It would make much more sense to simply redirect Evolutionism to Evolution, as the terms are synonymous.

Redirect pages:

• Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages - One or several of these templates may be placed on a redirect page

Redirect talkpages:

• {{WPRedir}} - Project banner, to be added to the talk pages of articles within the scope of this project, if the talk page already exists

Users:

• {{WPRedirInvite}} - WikiProject invitation - To invite users who may be interested to join the WikiProject
• {{User WikiProject Redirect}} - Userbox

Please feel free to add yourself here, and to indicate any areas of particular interest or experience.

10. Lenoxus (talk · contribs) LOL I can't believe I hadn't put my name here yet. I recently categorized as many of the redirect templates as I could into subcategories. My current project, working along with Richard0612, is the implementation of a redirect meta-template: See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Redirect#New meta-template(s) idea and Wikipedia:VPR#New idea for redirect templates for our discussion. 23 May 2008

12. Candlewicke (talk · contribs) 03:40, 13 August 2008 - Whoop-de-doodle. I should have been here long ago. :) Some that spring to mind. So many Oxegen redirects. Double digit numbers with and without apostrophes, eg. '07 or 08. Dave Geraghty. And on this very day Failte Towers and Gerard McDonnell. So yes, a few names that might get shortened to avoid confusion. And Irish language titles, punctuation, symbols and such-like.
