Minecraft Wiki:Projects/Redirect cleanup

What makes a useful redirect?

 * Primarily, anything someone would search for when trying to find an item, or game feature:
 * Exact names used in the game
 * Names of certain specific features (e.g.: "Armorer")
 * Very common alternate names (e.g.: Loads of people call "enchanted golden apple" "notch apple", despite that never being an official name. "AI" is an alternate name for "Mob").
 * Non-American English variant spelling (e.g.: "Armour"), possibly excluding joke English language variants
 * Common link targets, in order to avoid piped links to reduce page clutter. (MCW:STYLE)
 * TODO: Are plurals useful?
 * Proposal: Only keep plural redirects if the singular word does not fit exactly inside the plural. For example, wolves is acceptable as the word "wolf" cannot be seen in its full form, however zombies would not be acceptable as the singular word zombie fits in in its plural, and as such the link can be changed to the equally functional zombies . (discuss)
 * Lowercase names (such as "Zombified piglin"), see MCW:STYLE
 * Historical names (Stained Clay)


 * Terms that would not make good redirects may include:
 * Alternate names invented by YouTubers, etc. (e.g.: "Butter" for Gold, "Googlies" for Zombies)
 * Simple plural suffixes such as Zombies, see above

Tasks

 * Figure out criteria for useful redirects
 * Amend style guide to match criteria
 * Sort redirects to be removed
 * Check redirects are not used on prominent external sites
 * Mark redirects which can't be deleted due to external usage with a template and/or category
 * Delete unused redirects
 * Categorise remaining useful redirects
