:I think I've noticed, however, that incorrect capitalisations in your search immediately take you to the correctly-uncapitalised page you are looking for, without needing a redirect. (Examples: Drinking Horn --> Drinking horn, Horn of Plenty --> Horn of plenty. Indeed, I categorised those capitalised enchantment articles as pending deletion because no such capitalised redirect equivalent exists for artefacts with uncapitalised names.) (The only exception seems to be the incorrect capitalisation of minor prepositions and conjunctions in the title. For instance, Holy Church Of Achaea -/-> Holy Church of Achaea, Fire And Spice -/-> Fire and Spice, etc.) It's all very complicated, if you ask me! :) --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 14:26, 17 September 2007 (GMT) | :I think I've noticed, however, that incorrect capitalisations in your search immediately take you to the correctly-uncapitalised page you are looking for, without needing a redirect.

::You are also right about how incorrect uncapitalisations CAN NOT bring you to the correctly capitalised page, but I hope this doesn't mean we will reach a consensus to create a redirect from every possible incorrectly-uncapitalised entry in the search box! (Warlocks of the rising phoenix, Warlocks of the Rising phoenix, Warlocks of the rising Phoenix, oi!) I suppose how the wiki works is that it can pull you back (wrong capitalisation to right uncapitalisation) if you go too far with your search, but it cannot bring you a step forward (wrong uncapitalisation to right capitalisation) if you don't go far enough with your search. --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 14:31, 17 September 2007 (GMT) | ::You are also right about how incorrect uncapitalisations CAN NOT bring you to the correctly capitalised page, but I hope this doesn't mean we will reach a consensus to create a redirect from every possible incorrectly-uncapitalised entry in the search box!

Please see the [[Special:DoubleRedirects|double redirects]] page. I'm pretty sure most of them are unnecessary to keep because, as is discussed above on this page, using incorrect capitalisations in the search terms is immediately corrected by the wiki - no redirect needed. --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 22:29, 30 December 2007 (GMT) |
