::Yes, they can use "Multihash" if they know that a double hash is a special case of a multihash. In creating these redirects (and ones like "Cambridge") I was trying to follow what I thought was a wiki rule -- if something is known by various names, then redirecting from those alternate names is a Helpful Thing To Do. Sure, anyone knowledgable or dedicated enough is going to be able to find the "real" page anyway, but why shouldn't we make it easy for them? Useless stuff should indeed be deleted, but not useful or helpful things. -- [[User:Benjw|Benjw]] 15:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC) | ::Yes, they can use "Multihash" if they know that a double hash is a special case of a multihash.

Revision as of 21:29, 27 May 2009
Not sure about deleting
- CURSE - nice curious "ooh i wonder what that is" link
- I've added the Curse of the Geohash page to the fun stuff category, is there anything else that needs doing about it? I feel that keeping both versions of it is not needed. -- UnwiseOwl 08:17, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- Cape May-Lewes Ferry - dubious value?
- Carleton-Sur-Mer, Quebec - and all other pages that link to accented equivalents, to make it easier for those who don't know how to do accented letters+
- Keep these, they make perfect sense.
- Changwat Phra Nakhon, Thailand In the same spirit as above
- Copenhagen, and other things like Canberra and Cambridge that people like using instead of typing the whole grat name.
- Double hash, Triple hash etc - can whoever uses them just use Multihash?
- Yes, they can use "Multihash" if they know that a double hash is a special case of a multihash. In creating these redirects (and ones like "Cambridge") I was trying to follow what I thought was a wiki rule -- if something is known by various names, then redirecting from those alternate names is a Helpful Thing To Do. Sure, anyone knowledgable or dedicated enough is going to be able to find the "real" page anyway, but why shouldn't we make it easy for them? Useless stuff should indeed be deleted, but not useful or helpful things. -- Benjw 15:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
