The result of the move request was: Moved — Amakuru (talk) 14:37, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

R/science → /r/science – Actual title. Correct title hatnote is not necessary; the only technical issue with initial slashes only occurs when linking from non-main namespace and can be easily circumvented by html-encoding the initial slash, or using the redirect left behind from this move Ppp ery 13:22, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging 0xF8E8 (who initally moved it to the slashed title) and nyuszika7h (who reverted based on technical issues with a slash). Ppp ery 13:25, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Comment – The initial slash causes issues when nominating an article for AfD (see what happened at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion//r/The_Donald) or making an RFPP request (and possibly others). {{afd2}} needs to be fixed to append a leading colon to the article name. As for RFPP, I guess users need to be educated to use a leading colon (Twinkle already does that). It's treated as a subpage when there is no leading colon. nyuszika7h (talk) 13:36, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict) @Nyuszika7H: I wasn't aware of the AfD issue, but still disagree that it should prevent the page from being moved. In fact, making {{afd2}} add the colon would probably a non-controversial edit request. It is technically possible for titles to contain an initial slash, so therefore they should, when applicable.

  - @Pppery: Yeah, you're right, in meantime I realized the issue is not with Twinkle so it's a quick fix, which I'll do myself as I'm a template editor now. I wouldn't oppose the move after that, other similar issues can be fixed later on. nyuszika7h (talk) 13:41, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done {{afd2}} and {{la}} fixed. nyuszika7h (talk) 13:55, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nyuszika7H: Thanks for fixing this! — JFG ^talk 16:09, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support for clarity and accuracy. — JFG ^talk 16:09, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My 2 cents, I'm a bit concerned about WP:NC-SLASH and MOS:SLASH. Looking at Special:PrefixIndex//r/, this page would be the only non-redirect other than the "base" page of this title form. From a technical standpoint, "Talk:/r/science" will be treated by the software as a subpage of Talk:/r/, and not the article itself. (this isn't an oppose !vote) — Andy W. (talk) 01:29, 18 October 2016 (UTC) Not having a day of clarity. Mild support per nom. Still feel a bit queazy about having a slash as the first character, but suppose it's all right — Andy W.

Commercial

How is the subreddit commercial? It says "yes" to Commercial in the infobox, just wondering.FlantasyFlan (talk) 21:04, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FlantasyFlan: I think I put that there only because reddit is commercial. That probably makes no sense though, considering reddit is just a platform this community. Remove it if you like. Bluerasberry (talk) 21:45, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, sounds good, I'll remove it so it doesn't confuse readers. Thank you for your prompt assistance! FlantasyFlan (talk) 21:58, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
