Minecraft Wiki talk:Projects/Redirect cleanup

Organizing the redirects once we decide what to do about them
Can we apply categories to redirects? What if we had a few categories:
 * Category:English variant redirects,
 * Category:Lowercase redirects,
 * Category:Plural redirects,
 * Category:Feature redirects,
 * Category:Historical name redirects,
 * Category:Common name redirects,
 * and so on. Whatever categories we ultimately decide

It may facilitate the project -- though I'm also thinking of later benefits, such as:
 * There could be a maintenance page dedicated to uncategorized redirects (to decide whether they're good or not),
 * Several of those redirects, like 'english variant', 'historical name' or 'common name' redirects, should (probably?) not be used in wikilinks; wikilinks should use the in-game name. So if we had those in a category, or categories, those could be checked from time to time, in bulk, to see that they're not used in pages.  They would just be terms for the search bar.

Just thoughts. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 16:42, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
