Wiktionary talk:WF

Deletion
Hi @TheDaveRoss, I see that you recently deleted this page as an "unwanted redirect", I was wondering if you could point me to a discussion that concluded that the redirect was unwanted? I understand that it is a little odd to have a  namespace redirect link to a user subpage, but the drafted proposal for a policy on redirects currently leaves open the idea of "pages in non-main namespaces [...] harmlessly redirect[ing] to a different non-main namespace" (for the record, I recently changed the phrasing of this line) &mdash;The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 19:48, 30 August 2023 (UTC)


 * It shouldn't have been created in the first place, the Wiktionary namespace is not an appropriate venue for this type of content. The Wiktionary namespace is for project-level information, not user information, that is what the User namespace is for. It would be similarly inappropriate for me to make Wiktionary:TheDaveRoss and have that redirect to my user page. - TheDaveRoss  14:38, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

RFD discussion: September–October 2023
Was deleted by, but it is still useful. As a case in point, I tried to access it just now. Ping also re the discussion at Wiktionary talk:WF. This, that and the other (talk) 10:12, 2 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep deleted. See: AG202 (talk) 14:09, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * At the discussion linked by AG202 there seemed to be a fairly solid consensus not to include this kind of stuff in the Wiktionary namespace, and I agree with the points expressed there about putting individual users on a pedestal, so I would say keep deleted. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 14:22, 2 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Ooh, it finally got deleted! It was created as a joke back in (when??? the 2010s?), and WF thought only WF would ever use it or even notice it. Jin and Tonik (talk) 22:03, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I lean undelete, but am not set on reviving the page. For posterity's sake, the dozen or so now broken links (as record at the "what links here" page) should be fixed if the page is kept deleted. I personally found the short link helpful for quickly checking the sockpuppet list. The last thing I'd say is that in my opinion the short link doesn't glorify Wonderfool in the same way as hosting the sockpuppet list under the  would have as proposed in the aforementioned RFM discussion. Take care. &mdash;The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @The Editor's Apprentice FYI, WT:WF and WF are the same thing. Theknightwho (talk) 10:18, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note, I am aware of this fact. Take care. &mdash;The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 17:12, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep deleted; this doesn't belong in Wiktionary namespace. Benwing2 (talk) 11:48, 27 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Kept deleted per consensus. A user doesn't get their own shortcut, no matter how notorious. Jewle V (talk) 13:00, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
