The redirect makes no sense. TT is not a TI-99/4A or even a clone of it. They are two very unique systems. [[User:Lyverbe|Lyverbe]] ([[User talk:Lyverbe|talk]]) 18:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC) |

Wikipedia:DOI → User:DOI bot/use
Cross-namespace redirect, pretty much un-necessary ╟─TreasuryTag (talk ╬ contribs)─╢ 16:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- You haven't made clear what harm this redirect is doing. Smith609 Talk 16:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Cross-namespace redirects are generally not allowed. It hasn't been made clear why this redirect is so valuable that it should be an exception. ╟─TreasuryTag (talk ╬ contribs)─╢ 16:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- As with all redirects, it makes it easier for editors to remember the link for the page, which is very difficult to remember otherwise. It also means that links made in edit summaries will remain permanently useful, because if the target page moves, the WP:DOI redirect can be updated - avoiding creating double redirects. My general rule for Wikipedia is "if the benefits outweigh the costs, keep it" - the costs are going to be a significant load on the server as someone goes through all the edits of User:DOI bot and replaces the links, aside from wasting my - and your - time.

- You mean *Keep? ╟─TreasuryTag (talk ╬ contribs)─╢ 16:45, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
