[[User:BetterVotingAdvocacy]], I'm a little alarmed at how quickly you're adding redirects to Electowiki. Many of them seem difficult to defend (e.g. I'm pretty skeptical about "[[CL]]"). Could you avoid adding initialisms that aren't somehow described in the prose of the text of the redirect target? -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 00:56, 9 May 2020 (UTC) |

Redirect policy
User:BetterVotingAdvocacy, I'm a little alarmed at how quickly you're adding redirects to Electowiki. Many of them seem difficult to defend (e.g. I'm pretty skeptical about "CL"). Could you avoid adding initialisms that aren't somehow described in the prose of the text of the redirect target? -- RobLa (talk) 00:56, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
- I can reduce the number of redirects I add, and would also invite you to be more vocal when you find a redirect to be a bit odd. I think CL was a pretty reasonable redirect though, given that Wikipedia's article on the Condorcet loser criterion uses the initialism "CLC" for it, and several hits on Google showed academic articles abbreviating Condorcet loser as CL.
