A few thoughts edit
A very useful new page. We should probably mention:
- m:Research:Wikipedia clickstream which (with a great deal of effort) provides an alternative way to count clicks on a wikilink.
- Piping statistical redirects, which editors unfamiliar with the technique tend to undo per MOS:DABENTRY or WP:DABPIPE depending how it's set up.
Protection edit
Should we be advocating pre-emptive page protection for statistical redirects? Protection policy is that ECP is appropriate for Specific topic areas authorized by Arbcom; pages subject to persistent disruption that semi-protection has failed to stop
. Of course, any statistical redirect that attracts repeated unwanted edits by registered editors will have a good case at WP:RFPP, but it would be unusual to protect such non-critical pages pre-emptively as a matter of course. Certes (talk) 23:00, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
