: I'm not sure what's the issue with adding redirects. Intuitively I figured the more the better, since that should make articles easier to find, no? [[User:Closed Limelike Curves|Closed Limelike Curves]] ([[User talk:Closed Limelike Curves|talk]]) 00:53, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
:: Spurious redirects make this wiki much harder to maintain, since (among other things) future renames of the target article become harder to make without accidentally creating more double-redirects. We do not have a bot that deals with double-redirects; someone would need to volunteer to maintain it. It clutters up the autocomplete in the search box with terminology that doesn't need to be there. As near as I can tell, you put in an intentionally misleading citation implying that the term "decapitation" was used in the Graham-Squire/McCune paper (which it wasn't). If you're not confident that a redirect from "decapitation" to "[[favorite betrayal criterion]]" would hold on Wikipedia, please don't introduce it here. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 17:45, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
::: Whoops, looks like I copy-pasted the wrong citation. The term is due to Merrill & Nagel (1987). I've corrected that now. Sorry about that! —[[User:Closed Limelike Curves|Closed Limelike Curves]] ([[User talk:Closed Limelike Curves|talk]]) 17:10, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
