Againme (talk· contribs) I've completed all redirects from Spanish and French names of political parties in Latin America and Africa. Now working in European ones
AP1787 (talk· contribs) Didn't even know this project existed. I suppose it should have been common sense that it did... Anyway, I've been working on redirects to naval vessels based on their hull number.
BD2412. As of 12 May 2017, I had created 57,780 redirects, and made corrections or added templates to thousands of others. By tomorrow, this number will be higher - always.
BDD (talk) 07:33, 23 February 2013 (UTC) Count me among those who were already doing this sort of thing. Redirects are a vital behind-the-scenes asset to our readers.[reply]
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, e.g. '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.
— Cbbkr (talk) 00:48, 4 June 2013 (UTC) — I've been adding Redirect templates, esp. "to section/anchor" where appropriate, and also adding redirects to WikiProjects via appropriate banners on their talk pages. I also create redirects to replace direct wikilinks to sections/anchors (based on the reasoning in WP:NOTBROKEN).[reply]
TheChampionMan1234 05:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC) - I have never joined a WikiProject before, so this one seems like a good one, I will think about joining WikiProjects related to specific topics later when I am familiar with WikiProjects[reply]
Hadger03:10, 24 October 2009 (UTC) I would love to help improve Wikipedia with redirects and making it easier for people to find pages. If I had known about this page before, I would've already been participating in this WikiProject.[reply]
Ivanvector🍁 (talk) 20:45, 6 November 2015 (UTC) I suppose I am, I spend enough time at WP:RFD. I'm intrigued by the many different and surprising ways that users from around the world look up information, and how we manage that here.[reply]
Jason Quinn ... redirects are still in the wild-west stage of development. it's where the fun and excitement is at!
PamD11:53, 25 June 2018 (UTC) I sometimes work on the redirects in WP:NPP, and also add loads of redirects from variant forms of people's names - women in particular, but also others who may then turn out to have a redlink connecting to their full birth name or some other version because that was what the awards listing used etc.[reply]
Rich Farmbrough (talk· contribs) Lots of work on pseudonyms over the last year, and a lot more to go. Also fixing broken redirects, double redirects and dropping on on RfD from time to time. 23:28, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Secret Saturdays (talk· contribs) If I knew this wikiproject existed, I would've joined sooner.
Seppi333 (Insert 2¢ | Maintained) - I focus mostly on creating relevant article subtopic and spelling variant RDRs + categorizing existing RDRs.
Skittleys (talk· contribs) I've been categorising redirects for a while now, and realised there must be an associated WikiProject! I also make a lot of redirects against Americanizations.
Done
