Redlinks

Hello PauSix! The reason I deleted the redirect from "Puffer Fish" was so that no one would link to it by typing [[Puffer Fish]]. With the redirect, such a link will be colored blue, and will not show up in the Wanted Pages category. I prefer it if links to incorrect names of items show up in red (i.e., redlink) and then show up in the Wanted Pages, so I can fix them.

Redirects can also help in searching the wiki, since MediaWiki searches aren't as smart as Google searches. Sometimes typing "Mixed seeds" into the search box at the top right will take you to the "Mixed Seeds" page, and sometimes it will take you to a page of search results. So, when I said that typing "puffer" into the search box will "take you where you want to go", I meant that a redirect isn't needed for searching purposes in this case.

Hope this helps, margotbean (talk) 18:13, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
