Special:Badtitle/NS90:Forum:Wiki Talk/Redirect vs. deletion/reply (4)

Going to have side with Damian on this one. A massive amount of our database issues have been fixed with our new Lua templates, and all the clutter we've pruned has further reduced our database clutter, so unless the page the redirect was suppressed from was just a meaningless stub with no content of value beforehand, going to have to agree on making redirects instead of unilateral deletions most of the time. Also, given how titles aren't case/punctuation insensitive on MW, I again agree with Damian's position on this.

Besides, given how most indexes now redirect to the Category pages, I think that's a sensible policy just in case some pages weren't categorized before the move (makes botting easier as well).

Also, slight correction. We use a gadget called Autocomplete, which has the same functions as Link Suggest, but I decided to go with the gadget since I've had issues getting the extension to work properly since MW 1.20.
