Check the history and ask whoever changed it.

Because the redirection was done improperly. Among other things, about 600 wicks need to be fixed.

Also, what do you mean by "improperly" (other than those wicks)? There's nothing bad with a redirect from a singular installment to a complete anthology when the singular installment will probably never get its own page, right?

Total Drama follows a New Season, New Name convention, so TD Island, TD Action, et. al. aren't independent, they're part of the same series.

I've fixed about 10 percent of the wicks to the obsolete page.

Improperly mainly because discussion pages weren't moved and the wicks weren't cleaned up.

Aha. But once the wick cleanup is done and the discussion is moved, can we restore the redirect? It has nearly 20000 inbounds.

Wicks are under 300.

All the wicks have been changed.
