edit- AddWittyNameHere (talk · contribs) - mostly where taxonomy and redirects overlap, though occasionally I'll deal with some other redirect stuff as well. (E.g. the conversion efforts from {{Redr}} to {{rcat shell}} when the former got deprecated.)

- Candlewicke (talk · contribs) 03:40, 13 August 2008 - Whoop-de-doodle. I should have been here long ago. :) Some that spring to mind. So many <span redirects. Double digit numbers with and without apostrophes, e.g. '07 or 08. Dave Geraghty. And on this very day Failte Towers and Gerard McDonnell. So yes, a few names that might get shortened to avoid confusion. And Irish language titles, punctuation, symbols and such-like.

- — Cbbkr (talk) 00:48, 4 June 2013 (UTC) — I've been adding Redirect templates, esp. "to section/anchor" where appropriate, and also adding redirects to WikiProjects via appropriate banners on their talk pages. I also create redirects to replace direct wikilinks to sections/anchors (based on the reasoning in WP:NOTBROKEN).

- Keystone18 (talk) 17:46, 24 August 2022 (UTC) Assist with any necessary manual redirects. For instance, why is 2020 United States census routinely listed on pages as 2020 United States Census with the C capitalized on nearly all city, town, and municipality pages? I mostly edit pages and topics related to the Mid-Atlantic U.S., including cities, towns, buildings, companies, organizations, people in this region.
