Use of Redirects.
I have a question for the admins. Can we PLEASE amend the site rules to make is that you are required to use redirects whenever possible? I recently did some reorganizing of the M1911 page and I had to go to EVERY page that linked to a gun that I moved...
For example, take the Para-Ordnance P10. If i was to say on a movie page that Harrison Ford playing the roll of John Smith used a Para-Ordnance P10, the code SHOULD look like :
John Smith ([[Harrison Ford]]) is seen with a [[Para-Ordnance P10]].
With the Para-Ordnance P10 redirecting to the P10 on the M1911 page.
Instead, people are putting: [[M1911_pistol_series#Para-Ordnance_P-10|Para-Ordnance P10]]. This means that if/when the P10 is moved, ALL the pages that linked to it must be changed instead of changing the redirect.
Whats more, if the heading is changed on the page so that instead of saying:
==Para-Ordnance P10==
it reads
==Para-Ordnance P-10==
All the links wont work.
I know that this is a hard thing to police but can we PLEASE put it in the rules?
