*Delete: Really? We have pages on
Old Lace (color),
Eggshell (color,
Cream (colour),
Pearl (color), and
Ivory (color), but not
Off white? Off white is a perfectly plausible term, and at least as worthy an entry as those -- but it should definitely not link to a template, still less to one that doesn't even mention it. There's no information about off white there! Let's at least leave it a redlink.

- Although this might be somewhat not directly related to the RfD issue itself, I was originally unsure as to whether the pages should be considered articles or templates. I was the original author of these "List of CJK Unified Ideographs, Extension XYZ" pages, and originally based on the same format as the "List of CJK Unified Ideographs (XYZ)" pages created 7 or so years earlier by someone else, I had earlier intended the pages to be in article namespace. Then early this year if I recall, an editor brought to the attention as to what namespace is appropriate for the pages, and moved the pages to template namespace. (it was a talk from a long while back, I can't recall the exact details) Can these pages be considered templates? Templates are pages that are intended to be transcluded onto another page (for example,
Template:Chinese,
Template:Infobox,
Template:stub), and these pages don't seem to fit the purpose - all in all, they are simply listing tables. I personally would think that the redirects and pages should switch places themselves, with the pages being in article namespace, unless someone can argue otherwise. --

- I agree. Templates are pages which are intended to be transcluded per
Help:Template. These aren't, so shouldn't be in template space, so I'd support a move to article space. Although then another issue is whether they should exist at all - are they notable? Maybe move them all to user space?

- Oh, I just happened to realise that it is likely for the redirect to be a valid search term. The new Wikipedia search box has an autofill feature - even though someone might not necessarily remember the exact hexadecimal codepoints, by typing in "List of CJK..." in the searchbox, the autofill brings up a series of possible pages. --

- Keep: cross namespace redirects may be frowned upon (we don't want people reading an article to get lost in the bowels of Wikipedia), but I really don't see how this is going to hurt anyone. If someone searches for "Humanities Reference Desk", they're probably looking for the
Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities. I second that the reference desk is one area of Wikipedia space that's not just geared for regular editors (as opposed to the village pump, where there's generally no reason for a casual reader to go there).

- keep: I would quibble with the unused on this and other ' MOS:...' redirects. One important use of them is to save typing when using the search box to get to the page, but that won't show up in 'What links here'. Although there is no 'MOS:' namespace I think most editors know it refers to the Manual of Style and subpages, will not be surprised by where this leads and will appreciate the typing it saves. Some such as
MOS:NUM apply to many more articles so have been referred to often. This one hasn't but otherwise is just as valid a redirect.--

- I realise some "MOS:" redirects are useful, but I don't see how this one is.
MOS:CHINESE exists as well so that will show up in the search box anyway. The article it redirects to is about the Chinese language, not China.

- Keep: My thoughts exactly, on this and all the similar RfDs. The nominator may have missed the point that such redirects as
MOS:BOLD etc. are not primarily there for people to add to Wiki pages, so much as for them to type into the search box so as to get somewhere faster. Just because
MOS:CHINA does not appear on many users' user pages and, say,
CAT:SD does (as a way of letting them navigate to where they want to go faster), that does not increase or diminish its utility to other editors typing it into the search box.

- It's about the use of Chinese in articles, and so China related articles.
MOS:CHINESE and
MOS:CHINA are the same much as
WP:RS,
WP:IRS,
WP:RELY and
WP:RELIABLE. Some of those too are less obvious and less used but serve a purpose. I would note also that if you type MOS:CHINA quickly enough or without looking at the search box as you type you never see MOS:CHINESE.--

- Not that fast, but slow/laggy JavaScript often means my search box doesn't start autocompleting for several seconds, so if I load a page and immediately start typing I might only see what I finally type. Or I might need to look at the keyboard while doing so.--

Mhiji (

10:43, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
reply
- How isn't it useful? MOS is a pseudonamespace marker, therefore to search for the MOS page you need to attach MOS to the pseudonamespace marker, hence becoming
MOS:MOS. "MOS:" is a flag indicating an MOS page, "...MOS" is the page in the MOS pages to link to, therefore, for the main page, you would need to do
MOS:MOS, otherwise you haven't specified anything.
MOS: should also go to the same place, but people would not expect a bare namespace marker to signify anything, since it isn't logical. "MOS" is not a pseudonamespace marker, or attached to a pseudonamespace marker, and can't be used as a shortcut anyways.
