The result of the discussion was retarget to Lithium#Chemistry. Jay 💬 02:29, 4 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Propose refining to Lithium § Chemistry and moving the hatnote up from Inorganic compounds (since many lithium compounds are organic), analogous to § Lithium salt below. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 00:02, 28 October 2022 (UTC) reply

Touch of IAR, moved this to the 27th so it'd be on the same page as the related nomination, since I filed it just after midnght. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 00:06, 28 October 2022 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to Lithium#Chemistry. Jay 💬 02:37, 4 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Not all lithium salts are used as medications. I would suggest either a retarget to Category:Lithium salts with hatnote to current target or a retarget to Lithium § Chemistry with hatnote to Category:Lithium salts and current target, in either case without prejudice against later listifying to List of lithium salts (or a subsection of a List of lithium compounds). -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 23:45, 27 October 2022 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) Clyde! Franklin! 15:45, 5 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Deletion, because if it doesnt meet WP:GNG, why not delete it? Just redirecting it to Tiraspol may not be the best idea... While yes it does redirect to Tiraspol, letting them know who the anthem belongs to, but there's no info ON the anthem so there's no point in it! Some could have even called it unrelated! Kxeon ( talk) 23:41, 27 October 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. GNG is not really a factor for redirects. The target seems to be the only city associated with this anthem, and I see that you have started a draft on the anthem. Either the content can be incoporated into the target, when it is ready, or it can be judged on standalone article status, at which time the redirect can be deleted to make way.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Renaissance#Navigation and geography. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 16:35, 4 November 2022 (UTC) reply

The target subject refers to exploration that happened in the seas and oceans, but to my knowledge, exploration also occurred on the land (exclusive from any sea travel) as well during the renaissance era. In addition, there's no evidence that the redirect was an alternative name for the target subject. In other words, the redirect seems ambiguous. Steel1943 ( talk) 20:52, 20 October 2022 (UTC) reply

Ten Capital News should redirect to CTC (TV station)#News and current affairs because Ten Capital News and former and current names of this news program is mentioned there. Also this redirect was a result of a merge. Bassie f ( talk) 22:22, 27 October 2022 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was delete without prejudice against recreation as an article or a redirect to a target that mentions her. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 21:32, 3 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Not mentioned at the target or elsewhere on Wikipedia, internet searches establish that this is the name of a Ukrainian POW held by Russian forces and released in September. She appears to potentially be independently notable (although it would be a WP:PAGEDECIDE situation with respect to the various pages relating to the war), but unless a due mention is added to an existing article, the redirect should be deleted. signed, Rosguill talk 21:15, 27 October 2022 (UTC) reply

Not sure if we need this but it was kept about 4 and half years ago and some reliable sources did use the term at the time Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 March 22#Nintendo_N5. This was never an official name though and I believe it was used since it was a speculated name for Nintendo’s then unnamed 5th main console.-- 65.92.162.81 ( talk) 13:21, 14 October 2022 (UTC) reply

With Truss' resignation, it seems like this redirect will very likely have multiple targets. I figured pre-empting any retarget and having a discussion about what to do with this redirect at RfD would be a good way to decide. Tartar Torte 14:39, 20 October 2022 (UTC) reply

While I know it can generally take a while from resignation to new PM, it seems like Truss is saying the new PM will be known in around a week's time, which would still have this well within 2022. [1] Tartar Torte 14:46, 20 October 2022 (UTC) reply
  • No mention at the target. Was this an actual term? If not delete as generic. Many countries have prime ministers. Jay 💬 16:01, 20 October 2022 (UTC) reply
    Striking off, but I would support the article to be at something like List of years with three Prime Ministers, although I don't find any lists with this pattern of naming. Jay 💬 02:23, 3 November 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Disambig Google finds uses of the exact phrase relating to 2022 in the UK [1], 2016 in Croatia [2], 2013 in Australia [3], 1868 in the UK [4]. It's too early to say whether this will be a notable epithet for 2022 in the UK but it definitely seems to be for 2013 in Australia and 2016 in Croatia.

  • Setindexify (drafted) with scope of years that have been called this, not just any year where it's happened. Australia 2013 and UK 2022 are supported by multiple reliable sources. UK 1868 and Croatia 2016 are a bit more tenuous, but I think fine to include if there's gonna be a list either way (and a list of 2 would be fine here, so).

  • Delete both This was all based on one article in the PMC publications back in 2016. Nothing has been heard since, Viacom has merged with CBS, there have been many executive shifts in six years, and any signs this film would actually hit a theater screen with the existence of Paramount+ have long disappeared. In the end, this was a desperate attempt at a spec script that was never fully-formed, and all additional details since have been the invention of people who need to go on a foliage drive.

Redirects with disambiguators missing ")"

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was delete. The crux of the discussion was whether or not this type of redirect provides value to our readers. Those suggesting they be kept point to specific examples where they are used as part of external links. Those suggesting they be deleted note there are ways the software currently helps those who might arrive at a URL without a closing ) and that this practice done on a large scale would create issues. Ultimately there are no policies or guidelines which suggest one side or the other deserves extra weight and so it comes down to whether there is a consensus among participating editors. Given the number of editors who participated we have (barely) reached a consensus that these should be deleted. Barkeep49 ( talk) 19:43, 6 December 2022 (UTC) reply

Delete per WP:RDAB due to missing the right parentheses. None of these redirects have incoming links in the article space, and their properly disambiguated titles exist. Also, please see User:Gurch/Reports/Missing ")" for what seems to be precedence per the sea of deleted titles. Also, see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 April 20#More missing brackets.

  • I'm not opposed to deletion. From my notes when creating the redirect for Lost, I believe the problem was 2009's MSN Messenger automatic URL parsing algorithm would interpret the closing bracket/parenthesis as a punctuation part of the message instead of part of the URL. So if you were to send a non percent encoded URL e.g. /info/en/?search=Lost_(TV_series) as /info/en/?search=Lost_(TV_series) and the link would not work. MSN Messenger is long dead, however I expected despite the popularity of Wikipedia, some software still does that since ultimately interpreting punctuation characters at the end of a URL always has some imprecision. For example, you probably don't want your software interpret /info/en/?search=Lost_(TV_series), as /info/en/?search=Lost_(TV_series),, even the Wikimedia algorithm does not. You could do more sophisticated URL parsing e.g. looking for opening brackets in the URL or in the text at the cost of more complexity so not all software is going to do that. But I accept it doesn't really make much sense to have a bunch of redirects for when someone happened to create one and there's no realistic chance we're going to get consensus to mass create them nor to handle it in software, so just deleting them probably makes sense.

  • Keep all as WP:Redirects are cheap and some can be easily made misspellings where someone fails to close the parentheses. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 21:22, 27 October 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Comment: The negligable value of a handful of redirects having an alternative "no closing parenthesis" edition, compared to the zillions that do not have this convenience feature, is more than countered by having a second search result for these redirects confusingly show up in an autocomplete search. Just because Wikipedia can have spinach in its teeth doesn't mean it should have spinach in its teeth, no matter how cheap that spinach is. -- NapoliRoma ( talk) 23:13, 27 October 2022 (UTC) reply
    • But more... R. S. Shaw notes below that this is, in at least some cases, not just a simple typo, but an accommodation of a misfeature in some Markdown parsers. I'd still argue that making Wikipedia ugly to accommodate what is essentially an unfixed bug in someone else's software is bad precedent. And as Steel1943 notes, this was the cpnclusion of an identical previous discussion.-- NapoliRoma ( talk) 15:42, 28 October 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete all per nom and all "delete" !voters above. These just seem like search bar clutter-why have these when the correctly formatted versions exist? Also, I haven't checked through all of these; but it seems a bunch were made many years earlier after their respective articles for reasons like alternative spellings, how the subjects were written in newspapers in ways that may or may not warrant a mention, to make way for moves, and for technical reasons that were since resolved; and plus I need to go to bed tonight before I do any more investigation!

  • Keep most that would be useful. Britannia (board game for example is directly linked to by important urls on board game websites. To remove the redirect would be to remove the link. The other dubious ones could go. Would be important to determine "what links there", though, I imagine. Page views, for example. KingAntenor ( talk) 05:59, 28 October 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all. There's a reason this form of redirect exists. I looked at the one I created and the edit summary brought it all back: redir broken url usage. There is a widely used markup language called Markdown. It's a bit like wikitext but much simpler, and various versions of it are used on zillions of sites, including on Reddit and StackOverflow/ StackExchange. The relevant thing here is that the way one specifies a link (display text & URL) is [an example](http://example.com) (the wikitext near equivalent being [http://example.com an example]). There's a common problem for people posting on such sites when they want to link to some Wikipedia articles, like It (novel). The user normally simply pastes in the URL, here /info/en/?search=It_(novel) , which ends up like: [see about It](/info/en/?search=It_(novel)). Note the last two characters. Many Markdown parsers are relatively simple and will take the first parenthesis after the start of the URL as the Markdown closing character of the URL of the link. Hence there are many URL references to WP articles out there which are missing the trailing parenthesis like all the ones listed above.

Comment: For what it's worth, in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 April 20#More missing brackets, which resulted in a "delete" consensus, the main argument there for deletion was essentially that Wikipedia should not accommodate linking mistakes that occur on third party web sites at the expense of having plausible titles, which I agree with. If Wikipedia accommodated every linking mistake that occurs on third party web sites, there would be figurative tons of nonsensically titled redirects. Steel1943 ( talk) 09:22, 28 October 2022 (UTC) reply
That RfD discussion did have have all 4 of its votes for delete, but the reasons given varied; I only saw one that said we shouldn't "accommodate other websites' every shortcoming". Another indicated they'd keep such redirects if, on a case-by-case basis, "it can be shown that they are genuinely useful". -- R. S. Shaw ( talk) 18:50, 28 October 2022 (UTC) reply
Comment - Stats: I looked at usage stats for maybe half of the proposed deletion redirects, and found that all of those had some usage in the past year. Some had a bit surprising amount of usage. Here are the top 7 of the ones I looked at:
Redirect Hits in past year
Brian Cox (physicist 478
Georgia (U.S. state 433
Heaven's Gate (religious group 1495
Join (SQL 921
Lost (TV series 593
Ray tracing (graphics 614
Shocker (hand gesture 10,383
Removing redirects like these will inconvenience thousands of readers each year, dissuading some of them from reading a Wikipedia article. In return, what does WP get?, a tiny bit of space saved and a slightly tidier set of namespace entries. That might be nice (a few editors wouldn't have to think about or investigate cleaning them up, for instance), but I don't feel that warrants doing such a disservice to would-be Wikipedia readers. I'm not saying that no such redirect should be deleted, but I think deleting one should not be done without balancing it against actual service to users. However, I very much would be in a favor of a policy to prevent mass creations of such redirects; there are occasional editors who get bad ideas like that into their heads. -- R. S. Shaw ( talk) 19:29, 28 October 2022 (UTC) reply
Since there's a legitimate problem, and this is a legitimate workaround, if the result is "keep", I propose (in all seriousness) introducing a new redir template along the lines of "R to support incoming links (from a Markdown site" to make it clearer what's being addressed.-- NapoliRoma ( talk) 20:38, 28 October 2022 (UTC) reply

Longterm, implement a technical solution for this (maybe: if a page doesn't exist, before returning this error, look for the same page but with a closing parenthesis and return that). I notice that our search autocompletes "Up (2009 film)" before "Up (2009 film"; is there a way that we can get CirrusSearch to do that too?

  • Keep all per J947, R.S.Shaw, A7V2, et al. Fixing external errors in this manner costs us essentially nothing but significantly helps a large number of readers. Allowing readers to find the content they are looking for is equally as much our job as Wikipedians as writing that content in the first place. So I can see no justification at all for forcing people to jump through one or more hoops (note that whehter you get the "did you mean" depends on multiple factors that are outside of our control, it's not always obvious).

  • Keep all per R.S. Shaw. At worst harmless, and at best would actively impede linking and navigation from some very popular websites. Apparently, despite updating to New Reddit in the last couple of years, links with concluding parentheses are still an issue that requires special formatting to avoid.

  • Keep: While this took place in July on the Gregorian calendar, Russia was still using the Old Style dates until 1918, which means in Russia this offensive largely did take place in June. Many Russian language sources for this conflict refer to it by the name Июньское наступление of which the first word means June (see the declensions at wikt:июньский) and it essentially translated to "June Conflict". The Russian term used for July Conflict is used for a variety of different conflicts. I can't find a good citation that uses the Russian term in the article for the conflict.
