- jlgreco 14y agoI wonder how hard it would be to make mediawiki automatically redirect in cases like this. From what I've heard of mediawiki's code.. probably very. Oh well.
- officemonkey 14y agoNot hard at all: #REDIRECT [[Sayre's law]]
- jlgreco 14y agoWell of course. Somebody has done that now for that page it seems, but the general problem still exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinsons_Law_of_Triviality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinsons_Law_of_Triviality The idea would be to make mediawiki itself automatically preform reasonable redirects when pages don't exist.
- ars 14y agoIt doesn't even need to redirect - it could just automatically include some search results if the page doesn't exist.
- officemonkey 14y ago>The idea would be to make mediawiki itself automatically preform reasonable redirects when pages don't exist. Mediawiki does do it automatically, it's called having many thousands of users.
- jlgreco 14y agoThe Wikimedia Foundation wiki's might have that many uses, but I'd say most installations of mediawiki do not.
- jfoutz 14y agoThanks, to old to fix. I'll have to be more vigilant.
