File redirects
[edit]Not discussion the policies/guidelines, but whatever is at WP:FILEREDIRECT (majorly the revision deletion things) - how are they relevant to file-moving? Redaction is completely different thing, and would often require redacting logs? In file-moving we don't redact logs, no? Unless obviously necessary.

- That language was added in this edit in 2012. The Squirrel Conspiracy may have insight on what he meant by that. The way I've interpreted that is that a file redirect should generally be left even if it could be deleted, unless so problematic that it could be redacted. (Though note that WP:RD5 incorporates WP:CSD anyway, so I'm not sure the distinction makes much sense.) File redirects surely still can be deleted based just on WP:CSD, but you don't have to nominate a redirect for deletion just because it can be deleted. SilverLocust 💬 07:54, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- That's way too long ago for me to remember specifics, but your interpretation seems correct. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 17:30, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
