I noticed that you've been creating a lot of redirect articles involving nicknames for Spacesim members. I think that it is extrememly unlikely that these pages will ever be linked to, since we'll be linking to their member page instead of a nickname. If you need to link to a member page with the text of the link being a nickname, you can use a vertical bar in your link as in <nowiki>[[Article Linked To|Text that will be displayed]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Example Member|CattyCat]]</nowiki>. Also, I don't understand your cat thing, so my example may be off. [[User:Stefanido|-- Stefanido]] 03:18, 29 March 2010 (EDT)

Naming Redirects

I noticed that you've been creating a lot of redirect articles involving nicknames for Spacesim members. I think that it is extrememly unlikely that these pages will ever be linked to, since we'll be linking to their member page instead of a nickname. If you need to link to a member page with the text of the link being a nickname, you can use a vertical bar in your link as in [[Article Linked To|Text that will be displayed]] or [[Example Member|CattyCat]]. Also, I don't understand your cat thing, so my example may be off. -- Stefanido 03:18, 29 March 2010 (EDT)
