March 31

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 31, 2008

[[/.]] → Slashdot

The result of the debate was speedy keep/not deletable. Nom is correct that it can't be deleted through the interface, and the programmers won't delete it unless it's causing a problem. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 17:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In recent MediaWiki versions, "/." is no longer a valid page title. You can still find this redirect through Special:WhatLinksHere/Slashdot, but if you try to visit it, you get the "Bad title" error page. Since it's unreachable, it's useless and should be deleted. Unfortunately, it probably can't be deleted through the MediaWiki interface.

Comment This might have to go to the Village Pump to get fixed. I'm going to put a notice there as well. JeremyMcCracken (talk) 19:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even before this became a bad title, it didn't work as implied (which is why it's a bad title now). This is a legitimate redirect for Slashdot, of course, but for technical reasons it doesn't work and is unlikely to work in the future. — Gavia immer (talk) 21:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (this will warrant speedy closing) I posted at the Village Pump; the site maintainers are notified but stated they don't plan to take any action since it's not causing an immediate problem. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 22:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Force Harvester → Clone Wars (Star Wars)

The result of the debate was Re-targeted to List of Star Wars superweapons#Dark Reaper. -- JLaTondre (talk) 23:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect makes no sense, Force Harvester is not at all mentioned in Clone Wars (Star Wars) -Fastily (talk) 22:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Change redirect to List of Star Wars superweapons#Dark Reaper; google tells me it has to do with this. (That target is currently linking back to Force Harvester; that would need fixed as well.) JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 00:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per JeremyMcCracken above. This is not a very useful redirect, but if it is has to point somewhere, it should probably be to the one place on Wikipedia where the target is mentioned. Terraxos (talk) 02:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
