Template that is associated with this redirect is also nominated for deletion. WikiProject banner has been superseded by the |eastern-washington= parameter of {{WikiProject Washington}}.

It's not necessary to nominate this for deletion too. If the template is deleted, any redirects to it will be deleted too.

Indeed, although feel free to note the existence of the redirect on the TfD nomination. If a page is deleted and redirects to it overlooked, you can nominate them for speedy deletion with {{db-redirnone}} - see
WP:CSD#G8 "Pages dependent on a deleted page.

Doesn't make sense... and it includes curly quotes. Very implausible.

Weak delete, I'm guessing that the eczema produces a crazy-paving like pattern on the skin? However, this is not even hinted at in the article and searches for crazy paving eczema all give details of
Eczema craquele or
Asteatotic eczema (these may be synonyms?), which would make this misleading too. I'm marking my opinion as weak though as I'm prepared to be proved wrong by someone who has actual knowledge, hence the deletion sorting listing.

Really bad name for WikiProject. It's better to leave free for later use.

Keep unless someone requires the name for another template. No
reason to delete.
Mhiji 02:45, 15 January 2011 (UTC)reply
The name is out of the standards we have for WikiProjects. --
Magioladitis (
talk) 02:51, 15 January 2011 (UTC)reply
What "standards"? Other WikiProjects have similar redirects, e.g. {{albums}}, {{songs}}, {{Germany}}, {{China}}. Are you saying they should go too? You haven't provided a valid reason to delete.
Mhiji 03:22, 15 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Hm... are there more? Then, IMHO, all have to go. We should only keep names that contains: WP, Wp, WikiProject, WikiProject or similar words to distinguish from other templates. --
Magioladitis (
talk) 03:35, 15 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Yeah, there's quite a lot more. I've just had a quick look and have found {{Argentina}}, {{Architecture}}, {{Anthroponymy}}, {{USAnimation}}, {{Animals}}, {{ANEGY}}, {{American football}}, {{Altrock}} under A. If you want to find the others, if you look at the templates
here, then click "What links here" and then "Show redirects only" for each one, it will show up any more. I do agree though that it's best if these redirect to any other template other than a WP banner. I don't think deletion is necessary if there is not a more suitable target though. A lot of them could have better targets though - e.g. {{altrock}} should redirect to {{Alternative rock}} rather than {{WikiProject Alternative music}}.

This is the standard form for the oldest wikiprojects.

Keep until some other use is found for it. This is the standard form for wikiproject banner templates from the olden days.

talk) 05:43, 15 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Keep until a better use is found for it (at which point it can be easily overwritten). As the anon editor notes, this used to be the commonly accepted old form.

So
be bold and retarget it. Or if you're unsure, propose the change on the respective Talk pages. But you don't need permission here before retargetting.
Rossami(talk) 01:57, 15 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Dondegroovily did and it was reverted.
Mhiji 02:50, 15 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Retarget per nomination. You don't need an RfD for this, btw.

Comment, reading the discussion below I am currently unsure of what my opinion is, consequently I've struck my recommendation above.
Thryduulf (
talk) 04:46, 15 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Keep. The redirect is in article space. It's best to link to the section in article space which is about talk pages.
Mhiji 02:48, 15 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Question Are talk pages unique to MediaWiki or are they a feature of wikis generally? If the latter, then a redirect to something specifically about MediaWiki is probably not best.
Thryduulf (
talk) 04:46, 15 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Having areas where editors can comment on, discuss and negotiate about the content of a page is a common feature of wikis generally. This is a natural function of the collaborative nature of wikis. Not all use a "talk page" per say, however. Confluence wiki, for example, uses a threaded "comments" section at the bottom of (and displaying with) the article page.
Rossami(talk) 06:10, 16 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Comment If this is pointed at somewhere in article space, the target should have a {{selfref}} hatnote along the lines of {{selfref|"Talk page" redirects here, for talk pages on Wikipedia see [[Help:Using talk pages]].
Thryduulf (

comment this happened to me - I was looking for talk page etiquette guidelines - very confusing - I'd prefer the help page as per principle of least confusion.

Comment As implied above, this is what comes up when you type "Talk page" in the search box.
D O N D E groovilyTalk to me 17:44, 20 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Retarget to
Wiki and add hatnote. I've thought more about this, and it seems that the article about wikis in general is the best place for this, with a hatnote pointing at the help page as I commented above. Note that
wiki is also the target of the
Talk Page and
edit summary redirects, only the latter is currently referred to in a hatnote though.
Thryduulf (
talk) 18:58, 20 January 2011 (UTC)reply
Keep - Although the subject of talk pages may be more generally applicable to
wikis as a whole, I think that
MediaWiki is the better target.
MediaWiki contains several mentions of talk pages and the talk namespaces (mainly in the '
Content Organization' section) whereas
Wiki contains none. I don't feel too strongly about this, however, and would be OK with any outcome that results in the redirect pointing to a page in the main namespace (and not Help: or Wikipedia:). -- Black Falcon(

Comment Is it possible to exclude this page from search results? That's my main objection, that this is the first result when people search for "Talk page". If it could be excluded from searches, there wouldn't be any problem.
