Editing Talk:Rttf

How is this unnecessary? People use the term 'RttF' quite commonly. {<span style="color:#800080;"><u>''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''</u></span><sup>[[User_Talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>} 18:42, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:It's unnecessary because [[Special:WhatLinksHere/RTTF|there are no pages that link to it]].

::Curse you Toomai, you got there before me... Firstly, [[Special:WhatLinksHere/RTTF|what Toomai said]]. Secondly, "RTTF" isn't a sensible thing to type into a search box. It's very unlikely that a page is going to be called "RTTF" instead of "Race to the Finish". Thirdly, the page in question is "RTTF", not, as you said, "RttF" which is a completely different page (which, coincidentally, I've just tagged as well).

:At the above 2 comments, no, fail. Redirects- especially redirects that are abbreviations- should not in general be linked to at all. A link to the actual article would be preferrable in most- if not all- cases. In addition, you gave the article less than 5 hours to be linked to from anywhere, so of course there weren't any links created in that time.
:"'RTTF' isn't a sensible thing to type into a search box." ....um...what? Why is it any less reasonable than [[CPU]] or [[SSB]]? Why in the world would you not redirect a common abbreviation for something in SSB?
:Nobody is proposing that the information on either of the [[Race to the Finish]] articles be moved to a page titled RttF, so honestly I don't know what you're getting at here. You are correct that this page is redundant with the creation of [[Rttf]], but other than that there is no reason not to keep this page.  --<span style="font-family:vivaldi; font-size:12pt">[[User:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4">Shadowcrest</span>]]</span> 20:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
