Talk:wouldn’t’ve

Are we now making new redirect entries just because we don't like the apostrophe ??? -- A LGRIF  talk 14:37, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Just checking other edits from the same contrib. There are a large number of items with (Unicode standard apostrophe) as the given reason. -- A LGRIF  talk 15:15, 2 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. According to the Unicode character charts, "this is the preferred character to use for apostrophe".&lrm; I don't care all that much which one we use for our pagenames — I have a slight preference for the plain ASCII apostrophe — but there's really no call to be deleting redirects from the other one. —Ruakh TALK 21:59, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Can't the software accommodate the two different characters by substitution?
 * Except for the entries for the characters themselves and things that directly link to them, why should we care?
 * If we are going to do redirects for everything that has one or the other type of apostrophe/quote mark, shouldn't there've been a BP discussion with the consensus to be carried out by bot in due course? DCDuring TALK 22:26, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Very strong keep. These are created to allow for interwikis, because some Wiktionaries (or at least one) uses only the 'typographical' apostrophe (fr:wouldn’t’ve). So even though they might be unlinked on here, other Wiktionaries are linking to them. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:40, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Shall we move this to the Beer Parlour, if it's a policy issue rather than just the deletion of one redirect. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:37, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * This must have been considered before, but it might be worth revisiting at BP. DCDuring TALK 11:56, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It's certainly been discussed before. My own opinion is strong: keep as a redirect per Mg, Ruakh. &#x200b;— msh210 ℠ 17:23, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Agreed, keep. If this were to go to the BP, I’d favour lemmatising the typographic apostrophë, FWIW. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 18:24, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Kept. —Ruakh TALK 13:38, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
