Help talk:A Day in the Life

Cross-namespace redirect

It's one thing to have an article/non-article CNR or a non-article/non-article CNR, but should we be redirecting a non-article (in this a help page) to an article? I think this is a CNR that shouldn't be here.--99.237.222.73 (talk) 21:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

The redirect appears to be used quite a lot. In December 2009, for example, the article received 1,142 page views and the redirect 228 page views. Not only is 228 a relatively high number for a redirect, but the redirect also accounts for a substantial percentage of searches for the target article. I think an exception to the general rule against CNRs is justified in this case.

R to other namespace

{{editprotected}}

Please add {{R to other namespace}} directly in front of the target in the redirect. Thanks, :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 01:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Can you please format it so that it shows on a single line, like this?

#REDIRECT [[Help!: A Day in the Life]]{{R to other namespace}}

To the Main namespace

Please make the following modification:

Present state...

#REDIRECT [[Help!: A Day in the Life]]{{R to other namespace}}
[[Category:Protected redirects]]

Please alter to...

#REDIRECT [[Help!: A Day in the Life]]
(PLEASE LEAVE THIS LINE BLANK)
{{Redr|to main|mod}}
[[Category:Protected redirects]]

NOTE: The {{Redr}} is just a new and better way to add Rcats (redirect category templates), so the only visible modifications will be to remove this redirect from the parent Cross-namespace redirects category and place it in the more appropriate Redirects to the main namespace subcategory. The |mod ({{R from modification}}) will place this redirect in the Redirects from modifications category, which covers the changed punctuation (exclamation point). – Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  02:00, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Edit request March 2013

Could someone please add "restricted" to the {{Redr}}? That is to say, {{Redr|to main|mod|protected|restricted}}. It will categorize this redirect into Category:Redirects due to technical restrictions, a category that I feel could be of some use to correcting item labels on Wikidata. — PinkAmpers&^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 12:39, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Why is this fully protected?

I see it was back in 2007, but it doesn't seem like it'd be that productive to have it fully protected, though I guess there won't be many edits anyway. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 15:33, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

It was an ancient protection, which has been removed since February 18, 2022. Railtransportfan (talk) 22:40, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
