[edit]@Metaknowledge, Andrew Sheedy, Xbony2: Could you please clarify in your support votes whether you support creating new redirects for non-existing entries, or only redirecting existing entries? --WikiTiki89 15:08, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- I'm fine with creating new redirects for non-existing entries (I'm assuming you don't mean creating new redirects that redirect to non-existing entries, that would be silly). -Xbony2 (talk) 22:18, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- I don't really care about whether new redirects are created for non-existing entries, but I would lean towards support for doing both. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 23:26, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- Same as Andrew. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:52, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- FWIW, when Wikitiki89 raised that issue in the vote page, I replied that I created the vote with the intention of creating new redirects from non-existing entries to existing entries, although the vote itself does not mention that explictly. For example, I'd like to redirect ￇ (
HALFWIDTH HANGUL LETTER E) to ㅔ (HANGUL LETTER E). The halfwidth one is currently a redlink. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 01:54, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge, Andrew Sheedy, Xbony2: Sorry to bother you guys again, but I forgot to be explicit about one of the things I wanted clarified. Do you support the automated creation of redirects for all fullwidth/halfwidth characters that have a corresponding regular width entry? --WikiTiki89 14:54, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- I don't oppose it, but I do think it's unnecessary. I'll leave it up to other people to decide if that's how they want to use their time... Andrew Sheedy (talk) 23:22, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- Sure ^^ -Xbony2 (talk) 23:33, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
