User blog:Darkcloud1111/Next Big Admin Project-Redirects

So this is sort of a topic I have brought up before. Because users on the site have a habit of changing the names of stories, characters, chapter titles, and pretty much everything else, we end up with tons of redirects on the site (currently we have well over 1000 with no way of knowing the exact number).

Now this isn't a bad thing, as the users are free to rename things as they please. The problem becomes that we have a lot of redirects that nothing links to. Meaning the purpose of the redirect is useless as there are no links for it to redirect. This is mostly just a message to the other Admins, as I feel that we should get rid of those redirects that have no purpose by going down the list and using the What Links Here option to Delete any redirects that nothing links to. I'm not sure, but I think normal users can use the What Links Here option as well under My Tools at the bottom. If they can, marking redirects with a delete category would be good or leaving a comment at the bottom simply saying delete.

While it is good to have a Wikia with a lot of pages, having a Wikia with nothing but empty pages isn't.
