 I left out the actual check boxes for items for now, but I think they could be added :) Let me know if you think it would work? [[User:Fitzcarraldo|Fitzcarraldo]] 11:44, 22 February 2006 (GMT)
-thanks again for your comments, I added a response to try to explain the approach I am trying to take. Nonetheless I would like to prove it out to see what doesn't work. :) I am going to give it a test over the next week ([[Search Odds Condensed]])where I will add data and then try to analyze it. The more data the better so you are welcome to add as well if you would like! [[User:Fitzcarraldo|Fitzcarraldo]] 15:19, 22 February 2006 (GMT)

-hello lint.. a user put your search odds on the front page, I reverted that change back to the condensed page.. I hope that is a-ok. please see talk on their user page [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/User_talk:Tycho44] to see what I left for the user (do you think we should track classes and type.. native shaman for example?.. that makes collation exponential as you must understand) as they also had changed the [[Search Odds Condensed]] reporting table including classes and then saying the condensed page didn't have a table (it does) pointing people to your [[Search Odds]] page.. I am not looking to cause any trouble, if people want to use the regular [[Search Odds]].. that is super cool, in fact it seems you added the condensed without adding the search odds on the front page.. honestly, at the moment it would just be cool if users added data to something somewhere!?

	I'm glad you started a section on [[:Category talk:Delete]] for redirects, and I think that page would be a good hub for all delete-related discussion. (I'm reminded that Wikipedia article delete requests are kept on the same page, more or less.) It'd also translate to fewer created talk pages (that would be deleted in some cases).

		+	== Delete-marked redirects ==
		+
		+	Redirects marked for deletion (about 75 of them) are cluttering up the deletion page and the deletion discussion, making it difficult to find discussion of possible deletion for pages that actually matter. In my opinion, redirects are pretty trivial and I could take them or leave them (and imho our policy should be informed in part by whether new editors keep trying to add them back after deletion). By comparison, there are proposed deletions of pages that actually have (or historically had) content. Since it's been more than a month for Redirects, I propose that we Keep the Keeps, Delete the Deletes, clean them all off the Category:Delete page, and move on. --[[User:Tycho44\|Tycho44]] 05:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
