Redirects should be used... | Redirects should be used... | ||
*''' | *'''when the article's subject is also known by other names (officially or otherwise)''': The most obvious one, when something is known by more than one name, the most common name should house the content, and the other name(s) should redirect to that article. While alternative (yet official) names should always get a redirect, unofficial names should get a redirect only if they are well known enough (This, however, does not extent to unofficial move names). | ||
*''' | *'''when the article's subject's Japanese name differs from its English one.''' | ||
*''' | *'''when the article's subject's internal name (if applicable) is known''': If a character, stage, move, item, technique, etc is known by its internal name (via debug menu or data mining) that name should be redirected to the subject. | ||
*''' | *'''when the article's subject's name has a popular shortening, abbreviation, or acronym''': Good examples: SSB, PM, DI, KB, ICs, DK; Bad examples: RttF (Race to the Finish), TS (Title Screen), SIC (Squirtle Ivysaur Charizard). | ||
*''' | *'''when the article's subject has a section that may be searched for or linked to''': In this case, use the following code: <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[<target article>#<section>]]</nowiki></code>. The redirects title should usually be the same as the section's title. | ||
