message: Is "Navy Mark V" supposed to redirect here? It was my understanding that they are not the same suits.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.95.77 (talk) 01:17, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This appears to be a mistake left over from the original creation of this page, which apparently was created as "Mark V" and then moved to "Mark IV". Page moves will automatically create these redirects. It should be removed to eliminate confusion. JustinTime55 (talk) 21:07, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Navy Mark V

message: I'm a little surprised this issue hasn't been discussed before, but how does this topic rate an exemption from the WP:COMMONNAME policy? Most people have absolutely no idea what a "Navy Mark IV" was, compared to the multitudes who have heard of the Mercury space suit. This is analogous to Gemini space suit as opposed to "Clark G3C".  There is no NPOV issue with the common name; I can only assume it's this way from benign neglect, as I can see no logical argument based on the policy.
The only issue might be technical; currently "Mercury space suit" redirects to Navy Mark IV, but it should be the other way around. What is the correct way to handle this situation (to preserve the edit history)? JustinTime55 (talk) 20:45, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
