Procedural listing.
User:DeliciousInternetSpeeds created the redirect in December 2020 with the edit summary, "Created redirect from semi-common example of an eggcorn".
User:Mrmariomaster commented at
Talk:Eggcorn, "Bone Apple Tea should not be redirected here, as the faulty phrases don't have the same meaning. Instead it should be redirected to Malapropism." I will note that bone apple tea is not currently mentioned at Eggcorn.

- We typically don't redirect linguistic examples to their related lexicogical articles unless there's a mention, and this one isn't included at
Malapropism#Real-life examples. We could retarget them to
Bon Appétit (disambiguation) as a spelling variant, but it's not mentioned there, either. I think it would be best if we retarget the first to
wikt:bone apple tea and retarget the other two to that first page. -

- Change target to malapropism. The subreddit about malapropisms is called r/BoneAppleTea, so the phrase is probably at least somewhat well known.

Is this still necessary? Hasn't been at this title since 2008, and is intentionally a soft redirect so people don't use this name - which seems to have worked.

- Delete. It's currently a soft redirect so there's no point keeping this to avoid breaking old versions of pages, as they won't work anyway. Only got 5 page views in the last year, which shows this is not a common way of searching for this template. The template hasn't been at this title for 13 years at this point. Finally the name seems ambiguous to me, and I personally wouldn't expect something as generic as
Template:NZ-Currency to be a copyright disclaimer template, I would expect to end up somewhere like
Template:New Zealand currency and coinage.

Before making this nomination, I checked the links-in. After filtering out articles which include templates relating to Christianity and the Roman Empire, there were 111 of them. 38 (34%) were intended for an article about a conurbation of almost one million people which receives nearly 300 views/day. That is far too high a proportion and view count for a
WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to an unrelated article which doesn't mention the place.
On my machine, typing "Constantine" into the search box gives Constantine the Great as top option, and the DAB page and the conurbation nowhere. Even on the DAB page, the conurbation is difficult to find unless you already know what you're looking for (to break the suspense, it's
Constantine, Algeria; which would be
MOS:DABCOMMON on a DAB page at the basename). The current arrangement does a serious disservice to readers. It doesn't even save typing for readers looking for the emperor.
I propose: make Constantine the DAB page at the basename and redirect
Constantine (disambiguation) to it (a
WP:ROBIN swap).
Note to closer. If the change is made, {{
ping}} me and I will
WP:FIXDABLINKS, with any luck before Constantine appears in the cynically/despairingly/resignedly-named
WP:TDD#Today's highlights.

- I think this would be better as an RM. —

- Yeah, move proposals go via
WP:RM instead. A discussion would be a good idea in any case, but it's not strictly speaking necessary: the present arrangement dates to a bold move of 2017, so I guess that could just be reverted and the dab page moved back to the primary title à la BRD. –
