Well, this is mentioned in the target article. However,

Support retarget. I agree that the Teahouse is a good suggestion as a target that would get plenty of use, especially in a "tutorial" type context since it is a place for newbie editors. It is certainly a better target than a defunct page that shouldn't be linked to anymore—especially not with such a prominent single-letter shortcut. It's a shame that the previous discussion got derailed due to "preserving links", which is silly if one understands where most of the links are coming from. As I explained at the previous discussion and at
Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 July 10#Wikipedia:9, most links to single digit letters and numbers were created via
User:TomasBat/Welcome, which links all single letter shortcuts without any context, so it doesn't matter what the target is. Other links should still make sense in context since the Teahouse is a place for asking tutorial-type questions, and any other confusion can be resolved with an explanatory hatnote. Disambiguate per Uanfala, especially the reply on why a hatnote at the Teahouse page is not ideal. --

- That's true, but there's still a significant number of links to the tutorial (some examples:
Talk:Amon (demon),
Talk:Shorinji Kempo,
Talk:Lanzarote. If this is retargeted, then these links will need to be fixed (Teahouse is a very different place than the tutorial). –

- None of the discussions in the examples you have cited are likely to be used, or even read, in the future. They are one-off links in obscure talk pages meant for the person who is being replied to at that time. Rather, it is far more useful as a shortcut for an active page and I am fine with any suggestion that would help achieve that goal. --

- In the last discussion you lead off with faulty information, citing "4,000 links". However, because of
User:TomasBat/Welcome, that is highly misleading. Others may have based their !votes off of that inaccuracy, which effectively derailed that discussion. I am well aware that you aren't convinced—I have long given up on trying to convince you of anything. --

- Yeah, the overwhelming majority of these come from a user welcome template, where the link forms part of a header, alongside all other single-letter shortcuts. For that context it's irrelevant where the link is pointing. –
Uanfala (talk)
16:26, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
reply
- Do not retarget. There's a substantial number of incoming links where it's precisely the tutorial page that is intended. There are probably 100 or fewer of them, so it will be viable to go back and change them, freeing up the shortcut for other uses. However, this is so short as a shortcut that it's likely that different editors will expect it to target different pages. We might be tolerant of such ambiguity for shortcuts, but that's usually because most of them have had established uses since the early days of the project: they're entrenched in practice and there's nothing we can do to change that. But here for
WP:T, we have control and we can stop an infelicitous shortcut from gaining ground. Yes, the teahouse is a plausible target, but it already has good shortcuts like
WP:TEA and
WP:TH, which are both short and clear. And there are other targets that are plausible too, like
Help:Templates (the target of
H:T and
WP:TEMP), or
the talk guidelines, or
Wikipedia:Tips, or
Wikipedia:Tools. We should either keep this shortcut pointing to its historic target (which will hopefully not pick up any further use in the future), or turn it into a disambiguation page listing a handful of most plausible targets. –

- Of course, but a hatnote comes into the picture only if you first grant that the Teahouse should be the primary topic. I was arguing that it isn't, but even if it were, then it will still be desirable to avoid placing hatnotes there: you'd want newbie-facing pages like it to be as free of clutter as possible, and the teahouse in particular has a beautiful header that will not work well with a hatnote. –

- Disambiguate. Personally, I think that this is exactly the scenario where a shortcut should be disambiguated. With the disambig, the target the editor wants to go to is likely listed – with the added benefit that links to the previous target don't need to be changed as the old target is listed clearly at the dab page. —

However, while we have lists of types of wallet we don't have a list of individual wallets (either comprehensive or even just notable ones) and given the characteristics of this topic area and the high incidence of spamming related to it, it seems unlikely that one will be created anytime soon.
