Wikipedia talk:Special:ListRedirects

message: I made a redirection from 'Zero tillage' to 'No-till'.
When i search for 'Zero tillage', i am redirected to the 'No-till' page,
so i can't edit the 'Zero tillage' redirect (for example to add another meaning of that term).
To get the 'Zero tillage' page, make the URL like this :
Zero_tillage&redirect=no

message: The title ("List redirects") and the page name in the URL ("Listredirects") are different. This causes confusion in linking. Ardric47 04:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there any reason why this special page is limited to displaying only the first 1,000 entries?
Currently the list ends before reaching the letter C.
This would seem to me to make this special page rather worthless Dbiel 01:38, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. We need one that sorts alphabetically and allows you to specify where to start – basically a version of Special:Allpages just for redirects – Gurch 15:39, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Limited Display 

message: If the links that point to the redirect page are modified to point to the correct page, that would mean the redirect page is not required and can be deleted. However is it allowable for a user to do this? Qua-ΔΨΔΦ
Considering the some links are on user's talk page and other special pages, could there be a case where the redirects should remain in place? Do they serve another purpose such as helping when a user does a word search, for instance they type in AlgeriA instead of Algeria by mistake and therefore the page would help process it?

replies: text: Many redirect pages are where the title used to be, so muhc of the history is there. See AlgeriA's history for example.—Random832 18:35, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of redirects 

message: English WP currently has over 5000 redirects before we get to the A's.  This is totally useless and unpractical.  We need some search ability similar to Special:AllPages.  Or better yet, maybe Special:AllPages should have an option to show only Redirects.  Special:PrefixIndex allows us to hide redirects ... why can't we show only redirects??  Special:PagesWithProp can select redirects with property "staticredirect" but it's sorted in random order.  Special:Search could be useful, but it doesn't allow you to search for redirects.  A bigger question is why can't we have ONE tool with ALL these features??  Rather than create more one-use tools, why not create one multi-use tool??  Seems to me that's the only practical way forward with these tools.  LibraryGeek (talk) 06:15, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Um, no ... how would I go about doing that?  This was more of a comment than a specific request ... there are several possible solutions, and I think a general discussion of what is possible/practical would be needed before making a specific request.  Other than the talk pages, were should this be discussed? LibraryGeek (talk) 07:59, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like lend a suggestion to this stale conversion: sort descending by page size. I would guess that many pages that are large redirects would be ones from  and may want to be evaluated, unless there is already a tool to do so. —Ost (talk) 17:12, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

text: I second this. It seems to me that a limited list of redirects with no search function is entirely useless. MClay1 (talk) 13:49, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
