List of UMTS networks

Hi there. I've just started to improve List of UMTS networks by introducing a new table formatting and would be happy to have some help with this as there are already many entries in the list, compared to when I started introducing a new formatting for the LTE network list. Even that seemed to have taken ages when I look back at it, but I believe it was a good thing to do (there was no complaining for quite many months, which is actually a good sign on wikipedia... :-D).
Would you be interested in helping me here? If this it not what you see yourself in - do you know anybody else who might be interested? Please give me a short feedback. Thanks. :-) Nightwalker-87 (talk) 23:21, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Redirects

If you want to maintain a redirect so much, why don't you get rid of all the other piped links on the page? I don't understand the problem with avoiding a redirect. Nobody is going to create the page after 11 years of it existing as a redirect, I was linking to exactly the same place, and nobody fights this anywhere else the links are corrected. One change to avoid a redirect (for consistency to avoid redirects on the page) is not ruling a page with my personal taste; as I said, it's for consistency. I don't know why you noticed and decided to do this today. I'm not reverting any more to avoid being blocked for edit warring, but any more reverts today and you would be passing WP:3RR too, and it should not have gotten to that point. It's seriously not worth changing back. Ss112 08:34, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
