Redirect Template:Documentation and Template:Documentation subpage
I can’t redirect those two pages to the uncapitalized versions because they are protected. Can an admin do it please? They are frequently capitalized in templates copied from Wikipedia. DemonDays64 (talk) 06:12, 27 July 2020 (UTC) (please ping on reply)
- You'll find that there are lots of people here that consider lack of compatibility with Wikipedia templates a definite plus. Wiktionary isn't- and doesn't want to be- just like Wikipedia. This is not simply a technical problem- you should first ask whether the community here wants the templates you're importing. Chuck Entz (talk) 07:39, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
- Isn't DemonDays64 just suggesting that the templates mentioned be made into redirects, so if someone does use the incorrect capitalized version it will not show up as a red link? Or is there some advantage for the latter to happen – so that the editor will be prompted to use the correct uncapitalized template name? — SGconlaw (talk) 07:51, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Chuck Entz @Sgconlaw I mean that I'd like for someone to redirect them to Template:documentation and Template:documentation subpage, two existent templates. DemonDays64 (talk) 02:38, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- I've created the redirects, as there's no harm in having them, but the point was that they ease the import of templates from Wikipedia, which is something that you're doing and which we generally don't want. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:49, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
