A–C
AddWittyNameHere (
talk·contribs) - mostly where taxonomy and redirects overlap, though occasionally I'll deal with some other redirect stuff as well. (E.g. the conversion efforts from {{
Redr}} to {{
rcat shell}} when the former got deprecated.)
Againme (
talk·contribs) I've completed all redirects from Spanish and French names of political parties in Latin America and Africa. Now working in European ones
AP1787 (
talk·contribs) Didn't even know this project existed. I suppose it should have been common sense that it did... Anyway, I've been working on redirects to naval vessels based on their hull number.
BD2412. As of 12 May 2017, I had created 57,780 redirects, and made corrections or added templates to thousands of others. By tomorrow, this number will be higher - always.
BDD (
talk) 07:33, 23 February 2013 (UTC) Count me among those who were already doing this sort of thing. Redirects are a vital behind-the-scenes asset to our readers.reply
Beikeonbeogeo (
talk·contribs) I like to go around random articles to see if they need common redirects.
BhamBoi (
talk·contribs) Adding capitalization differences and some unusual Arabic transriptions.
Bgrus22 (
talk·contribs) I like to add redirects while I'm expanding pages since it is less stressful.
buffbills (
talk) I pick random articles and find good redirects average people would think of.
CalliPatra (
talk·contribs) Will be creating redirections for pages related to Indonesia and also particularly film-related subjects.

Camyoung54talk 15:38, 7 April 2013 (UTC) I am involved in fixing double redirects, and helping to ensure that redirects are directed to the appropriate place.reply
Candlewicke (
talk·contribs) 03:40, 13 August 2008 - Whoop-de-doodle. I should have been here long ago. :) Some that spring to mind. So many
<span redirects. Double digit numbers with and without apostrophes, e.g. '07 or 08.
Dave Geraghty. And on this very day
Failte Towers and
Gerard McDonnell. So yes, a few names that might get shortened to avoid confusion. And Irish language titles, punctuation, symbols and such-like.

Cbbkr (
talk) 00:48, 4 June 2013 (UTC) — I've been adding Redirect templates, esp. "to section/anchor" where appropriate, and also adding redirects to WikiProjects via appropriate banners on their talk pages. I also create redirects to replace direct wikilinks to sections/anchors (based on the reasoning in
WP:NOTBROKEN).reply
TheChampionMan1234 05:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC) - I have never joined a WikiProject before, so this one seems like a good one, I will think about joining WikiProjects related to specific topics later when I am familiar with WikiProjectsreply

FingersOnRoids (
talk·contribs) 22:26, 16 May 2009 (UTC) - I work at
WP:AFC/R, creating requested redirects, and at
WP:AFD, where I !vote for articles with plausible search terms to be redirected to a related article, instead of being flat out deleted.

Hadger 03:10, 24 October 2009 (UTC) I would love to help improve Wikipedia with redirects and making it easier for people to find pages. If I had known about this page before, I would've already been participating in this WikiProject.reply
harrztalk 00:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC) As well as creating redirects I work on adding rcats to uncategorised redirects, reviewing redirects in the new pages feed and subcategorising redirects.reply
Ivanvector🍁 (

WP:RFD. I'm intrigued by the many different and surprising ways that users from around the world look up information, and how we manage that here.reply
Jason Quinn ... redirects are still in the wild-west stage of development. it's where the fun and excitement is at!
Keystone18 (

2020 United States census routinely listed on pages as
2020 United States Census with the C capitalized on nearly all city, town, and municipality pages? I mostly edit pages and topics related to the
Mid-Atlantic U.S., including cities, towns, buildings, companies, organizations, people in this region.reply

OmegaFallon (

PamD 11:53, 25 June 2018 (UTC) I sometimes work on the redirects in
WP:NPP, and also add loads of redirects from variant forms of people's names - women in particular, but also others who may then turn out to have a redlink connecting to their full birth name or some other version because that was what the awards listing used etc.reply

Ringbang (

Robert McClenon - As an AFC reviewer, I do a lot of tagging of redirects into redirect categories. My main interest is correct categorization of redirects.
