After the comment where you said you'd be open to reevaluating based on additional explanation, I made a somewhat longer post outlinine some of the precise ways in which the presence of random redirects can be disruptive for coding: Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_February_20#Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/Years. I'd appreciate if you would read what I've written here and reconsider -- as it stands, I am somewhat concerned that the outcome of the discussion could prevent maintenance work in the future. jp×g🗯️21:37, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240222213700","author":"JPxG","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-JPxG-20240222213700-Further_explanation_regarding_the_archive_RfD","replies":[],"displayName":"jp"}}-->

Could you consider adding back in an "edit" link with a reminder "Wikipedia is not a mirror"?

That is not what I meant. I meant it being mentioned on the redirect. Something like "Start the $1 page, using the article wizard if you wish, but please remember that Wikipedia is not a mirror, etc." AwesomeAasim23:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240424232600","author":"Awesome Aasim","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Awesome_Aasim-20240424232600-Godsy-20240424180000","replies":["c-Godsy-20240425065500-Awesome_Aasim-20240424232600"],"displayName":"Awesome"}}-->
@Awesome Aasim: Partly done, see here. The template is used so sparsely that it really just clutters the page unnecessarily. I went ahead and added a note about article creation somewhat as requested. I did not add a notice about mirrors etc. because it seems especially undue (if they start to be inappropriately created and it seems people get that notion, then it can be easily modified at that point in time). — Godsy (TALKCONT)06:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240425065500","author":"Godsy","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Godsy-20240425065500-Awesome_Aasim-20240424232600","replies":[]}}-->

Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page.
