487:- allowing redirects to other Wikia projects would take us down a very bad road. We allow soft redirects to Wiktionary to help people looking for dictionary definitions, but we don't need redirects like these; they could lead to off-wiki redirects being created for every fictional character who has a page on

Obviously we wouldn't want those links to be permeant, but when we do move an article, people are going to be looking for where it went. We should at least have some way of directing those people back to their work, which in some cases, they worked very hard on. I've used temp soft redirects to other

A little more time to help readers and editors find the content that was once there is no big deal, and helps us out in the long run. There's less hurt feelings, less attempts to re-create articles, and in some cases it stops retaliation vandalism. These links should never be a long term thing, but

I had not realized that the "list of minor characters" was now a redirect to the "list of main characters". Was any content merged to the new target article? That is, do we have to keep it for GFDL compliance? I can't find anything that was merged I haven't verified every edit. If not, then I

we shouldn't be acting like they're a bad idea. We've basically deleted this content, and there's going to be a lot of people wanting to know where it is. Allowing some form of explanation on that for a short while does not seem to be an unreasonable accommodation for our readers. --
491:. That's clearly unhelpful, and frankly calls into question the very purpose of Knowledge: it's not to link to other wikis, but to contain content itself. For those reasons, these should be deleted (or retargeted if there is an appropriate page on Knowledge to redirect to).

The decision to endorse redirects (hard or soft) outside of the MediaWiki family of projects really needs to be proposed and decided outside of the narrow confines of an individual RfD nomination. May I suggest that you write this up either as a

No, it shouldn't and if you continue to try to subvert my edits as part of your grudge war I'll report you to ANI. I'll ask that this be speedy closed as complete nonsense.
