And 1k inbounds isn't even that much to worry about keeping.

It is, actually. That's far above the cutoff at which cut requests get denied.

But it'd be a main redirect then. Aren't those against the rules? The only ones we seem to have anymore are hard-coded.

I made the redirect SoYouWantTo.I Suck At Summaries so the inbounds could be caught through the autodisambig system. I don't see why we can cut former locations of popular pages such as Disney.Frozen (which still has over 40,000 inbounds) when we can't cut Main.I Suck At Summaries.

[up] While it is a similar case, do note that Disney/ is now a defunct namespace, hence why the cut.

As for this page, I can go either way on cutting the Main/ redirect.

I don't see any reason to keep the Main/ redirect if a SoYouWantTo/ redirect exists, due to the auto-disambig system. (Maybe the subject of redirect namespaces merits a Wiki Talk discussion, but if it matters, the TRS thread that moved Main.How Do I Used Tense to UsefulNotes.Tenses made UsefulNotes.How Do I Used Tense as a redirect and cut the original Main/ location.)

Edit: Regardless of that, the Writing Pitfall Index wick for Main.I Suck At Summaries needs to be changed or removed.

The inbound rules always have priority over the redirect rules. That's been so since forever. The auto-disambig system only works for cross namespace redirects, so you can't use that to justify a cut here.

Also, dealt with the wick above.

Are we done here, then? I already left a note on the old discussion page.

Aye, seems like this is all done, so locking.
