Recently I have noticed some redirects like {{NYCS
stub}} to
{{NYCS-stub}} listed on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Stub_types_for_deletion . The
stub sorters, typically the only people to frequent SFD, are voting for
their deletion on the grounds that they are "incorrectly named". What?
That is in fact NOT a reason to delete a redirect. I don't think
template redirects even have the performance problem of nested
templates; there is no reason to delete these redirects. If someone
wants them deleted, they can be listed on [[WP:RFD]] like all other
redirects.
Grutness now says I'm vandalizing SFD by removing the redirects and his
change in the scop[e of the page to include redirects.
This is completely and utterly WRONG. Unless they are misleading or
overly broad, we should NEVER delete redirects. Especially on templates,
where it's often hard to remember the exact spelling, capitalisation and
hyphenation involved.
