User:Robert Ullmann/CS redirects with links

Introduction
This is a list of redirects created in 2005 by User:Conversion script that have links from one or more pages and can't be (and perhaps shouldn't be) deleted.

Each one is almost certainly a problem of some kind:


 * if the link is unneeded (old cleanup lists, which I have blanked a few of), should be fixed
 * if the link can be broken (e.g. from various lists, which should be left as is), then delete the redirect manually
 * if the page should exist (German noun ;-), create it as a proper entry
 * if it was improperly moved to lower case, move it back, then check the lower case for links
 * other oddities ...

In any case if the link(s) is/are removed, you can just leave the redirect for the 'bot to catch next time.

this is a low priority task, don't worry about it

This list is added to by 'bot code.

This system/method is being worked out; as said above, don't worry about it! The important thing is to have the automation munch on what what would otherwise be a huge task (40K+ entries). We shall see how it goes. In any case, this will be restarted after an XML dump. Robert Ullmann 22:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

As of 3 January 2008, the automation will ignore (break) links from various clean-up lists, including this one. Also Project Gutenberg, Concordance:Engines as they are from sentence capitalization, and we have the lc word. The redirect is still listed here. Links from Project - German/missing are an indication that the entry should be kept, and updated to (presumably) a German noun. Robert Ullmann 12:47, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

December 2009: dropping all the 2008 reports, will start anew.

If you fix all (or almost all) of the redirects on a page, either delete it or tag it with   (i.e. don't allow the delete tag to be transcluded here!). Any leftovers will get picked up again. You can strikethrough or simply remove entries done; or just leave the red link if you deleted the redirect (in any of those cases, others will know it has been done.)
