In 006, 009, 010 and 012, the redirects that "remain to be fixed" are not linked from anywhere except that page, a general "Encyclopedia Topics" and in one case, an obscure talk page (something/parentheses/s). I didn't strike them out because I think it's too much work and a lot more waiting for pages to load, etc. In retrospect, I should have stricken the ones that are linked from the Encylopedia topics list or talk page so your program wouldn't pick it up again on the next run, but there's only about 5 in total. Regarding Nakhon Pathom, Nonthaburi and Yasothon (in 012), all of the pages who point to that page refer to the capital and never the province, so I didn't think the redirect should point to the province (of the same name), so I've stricken it. If you disagree, I'll/you remove the strikethrough. Anyway, let me know if those pages can be added to the complete list. -- jag123 09:10, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[[12th century|12th]] and [[13th century|13th centuries]]
to display "12th and 13th centuries" with the appropriate linkage: these are totally bogus (far better is [[12th century|12th]] and [[13th century|13th]] centuries
) but the REDIRECTs have been created anyway. --

Talk 16:49, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)I've seen several redirects created now based on suggestions apparently from this page. In particular, redirects are suggested for Township articles when they should be disambigs. For example, Portage Township or Medford Township. If possible, please update the report criteria to do a better job of identifying articles with the same name before the first comma. Or at least, have some instructions to users to do some sort of verification (either searching on Wikipedia or using the Americam Factfiner to check for other entities with the same name. older≠ wiser 16:40, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
What do they mean? Do they indicate the number of times that such a link redirection occurs? -- Smack ( talk) 03:35, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Please create a list of suggestions that were struck out on your next run. Some were probably valid. r3m0t 17:33, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
If anybody would be interested in the coding, I think I have useful way to suggest some good redirects. If an article is titled with the word Guatemala, for example (like history of Guatemala), suggest a redirect for the adjective, as in Guatemalan history (and vice versa). It'll produce some bad hits, but a lot of useful ones. Tuf-Kat 07:41, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
If there is an existing page:
'''Best city in Australia''' is either: * [[Sydney]] * [[Melbourne]] * [[Canberra]] {{disambig}}
and a link "[[Hobart|best city in Australia]]", would it be reasonable to suggest that Hobart be added? -- Martin Rudat( T| @| C) 08:13, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
