A–C
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.)
Againme (talk·contribs) I've completed all redirects from Spanish and French names of political parties in Latin America and Africa. Now working in European ones
AP1787 (talk·contribs) Didn't even know this project existed. I suppose it should have been common sense that it did... Anyway, I've been working on redirects to naval vessels based on their hull number.
BD2412. As of 12 May 2017, I had created 57,780 redirects, and made corrections or added templates to thousands of others. By tomorrow, this number will be higher - always.
BDD (talk) 07:33, 23 February 2013 (UTC) Count me among those who were already doing this sort of thing. Redirects are a vital behind-the-scenes asset to our readers.[reply]
Beikeonbeogeo (talk·contribs) I like to go around random articles to see if they need common redirects.
BhamBoi (talk·contribs) Adding capitalization differences and some unusual Arabic transriptions.
Bgrus22 (talk·contribs) I like to add redirects while I'm expanding pages since it is less stressful.
Bsimmons666 (talk) 16:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC) I make a lot of redirects![reply]
buffbills (talk) I pick random articles and find good redirects average people would think of.
CalliPatra (talk·contribs) Will be creating redirections for pages related to Indonesia and also particularly film-related subjects. CalliPatra (talk) 07:58, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Camyoung54talk 15:38, 7 April 2013 (UTC) I am involved in fixing double redirects, and helping to ensure that redirects are directed to the appropriate place.[reply]
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).[reply]
TheChampionMan1234 05:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC) - I have never joined a WikiProject before, so this one seems like a good one, I will think about joining WikiProjects related to specific topics later when I am familiar with WikiProjects[reply]
- Charlie the Pig 18:06, 10 May 2013 (UTC) I've been redirecting pages for a while and just found this.[reply]
—Compassionate727(T·C) 01:45, 7 April 2018 (UTC) Don't know how long I've been patrolling these pesky 30 byte pages, might as well add myself to the list.[reply]
The Duke of Waltham (talk·contribs) Interested in style and navigation, and keen to see a rationalisation of the redirect-categorisation system. 00:38, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
FingersOnRoids (talk·contribs) 22:26, 16 May 2009 (UTC) - I work at WP:AFC/R, creating requested redirects, and at WP:AFD, where I !vote for articles with plausible search terms to be redirected to a related article, instead of being flat out deleted.FingersOnRoids 02:25, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
··gracefool☺ 03:18, 28 April 2014 (UTC) I've been doing this for a decade without knowing this project existed.[reply]
Hadger 03:10, 24 October 2009 (UTC) I would love to help improve Wikipedia with redirects and making it easier for people to find pages. If I had known about this page before, I would've already been participating in this WikiProject.[reply]
harrztalk 00:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC) As well as creating redirects I work on adding rcats to uncategorised redirects, reviewing redirects in the new pages feed and subcategorising redirects.[reply]
Ivanvector🍁 (talk) 20:45, 6 November 2015 (UTC) I suppose I am, I spend enough time at WP:RFD. I'm intrigued by the many different and surprising ways that users from around the world look up information, and how we manage that here.[reply]
Jason Quinn ... redirects are still in the wild-west stage of development. it's where the fun and excitement is at!
Keiji (iNVERTED) (Talk) 16:31, 2 May 2009 (UTC) I almost always make a redirect when I receive a page not found error for something that exists.[reply]
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.[reply]
Lunamann 🌙🌙🌙 The Moooooooniest (talk) 01:59, 26 February 2024 (UTC) - Might as well, seeing as most of my contributions so far amount to hanging around RFD and participating in discussions[reply]
Malpass93 (talk·contribs) 22:26, 16 May 2009 (UTC) - I can't believe I wasn't already here! I've made tonnes of these things. Anyway, I'm here now.[reply]
NK1406 (talk·contribs) It appears that I have become rather involved in redirect discussions, so it is only natural I join. ―NK1406talk•contribs 02:41, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A good redirect is a minimal effort change that can be all the difference in whether someone learns something or not. -NottNott|talk 15:48, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
OmegaFallon (talk·contribs) - I like categorizing redirects and creating new ones mainly for the areas I'm already active in, namely indie video games.
PamD 11:53, 25 June 2018 (UTC) I sometimes work on the redirects in WP:NPP, and also add loads of redirects from variant forms of people's names - women in particular, but also others who may then turn out to have a redlink connecting to their full birth name or some other version because that was what the awards listing used etc.[reply]
Pariah24 (talk) 18:00, 22 September 2017 (UTC) standing on the shoulders of giants[reply]
Plantdrew (talk·contribs) - Doing a lot of work with redirects between common/scientific names of plants and animals Plantdrew (talk) 04:40, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Qwerfjkl (talk·contribs) I mostly add rcats to articles in the main, help or information namespaces, and also create a few. 19:42, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Richard0612 (talk·contribs) I am currently trawling through pages with lots of redirs. and listing useless ones at RfD 13:04, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ringbang (talk·contribs) Primarily I categorise. I convert or retarget where it seems prudent.
Robert McClenon - As an AFC reviewer, I do a lot of tagging of redirects into redirect categories. My main interest is correct categorization of redirects.
Rosguill I'm a new page patroller and am currently reviewing the vast majority of new redirects created on English Wikipedia, and also helping design a bot for automating this task as much as possible. 04:45, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Seppi333 (Insert 2¢ | Maintained) - I focus mostly on creating relevant article subtopic and spelling variant RDRs + categorizing existing RDRs.
Skarmory(talk •contribs) 08:48, 6 June 2023 (UTC) New page patrol, and especially the May 2023 backlog drive, has pulled me heavily into the redirect sphere. Figure I might as well join.[reply]
Skittleys (talk·contribs) I've been categorising redirects for a while now, and realised there must be an associated WikiProject! I also make a lot of redirects against Americanizations.
Taivorist (talk) 22:24, 3 November 2021 (UTC) I don't do almost anything in English Wikipedia except redirects, but I have created more than ten thousand redirects.[reply]
TheEditor867 (talk·contribs) 02:02, 15 August 2015 (UTC) Been making a lot of redirects lately and decided to join![reply]
The Duke of Nonsense (talk ·contribs) 21:23, 28 July 2018 (UTC) I make a lot of redirects, so helping out![reply]
Thryduulf (talk) 13:17, 1 July 2012 (UTC) Having been one of the most active at RfD for some time, I'm surprised I haven't found this project before now.[reply]
|►ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK◄| 19:32, 30 September 2009 (UTC) I have been creating redirects for years, I only recently stumbled across the wikiproject.[reply]
Zeke, the Mad Horrorist(Speak quickly)(Follow my trail) 15:37, 30 September 2020 (UTC) I make redirects here and there, I enjoy them and I like to think of them as just building new roads to get to places that already exist on Wikipedia. There's almost no reason to not have them. I also have some experience at WP:RFD.[reply]
