The DMFA page is currently locked, I was hoping to use it as a redirect to Dan And Mabs Furry Adventures. Any idea how this situation can be resolved?

I created the redirect in the first place quite a bunch of time ago, but IIRC there is a rule against initialisms somewhere in the TV Tropes guidelines (which means said redirect was infringing it).

It was probably added to the Permanent Redlink Club for this reason...

Understandable, I guess. Its just the webcomic's title is a bit cumbersome, I guess we'll have to just put up with the two existing methods of linking it.

I usually write DMFA with a pothole to the long title.

Ugh... the title is way too cumbersome. Everyone calls it DMFA anyway.

Trouble is this might be one of those 'If a make an exception for one, I'll have to make an exception for others' issues. Who would be the one to talk to about this? Admins?

He never actually went to the website, did he? One look at the HTML title should give the answer there. She almost never calls it the full name.
