Question from W;ChangingUsername (22:55, 1 June 2024)[edit]
I'm trying to make all of the phrasing for breathing problems redirect to this page: https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Breathing_problems#
I got it, however
Just for future reference, how would I make pages actually redirect there? I don't think it's safe to link a bunch of pages to this template because of a 'transcending bug' or something
Is it possible to make a buncu of non existent pages redirect to a page from search, or is that too dangerous to allow? Thanks
--W;ChangingUsername (talk) 22:55, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- @W;ChangingUsername, I'd suggest you take a look at the guideline for redirects. Generally, only the commonly mispelled variants will be redirected to a target. Let me know if you have other questions, Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 01:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I'll have another look at the redirects page with a fresh mind. Thanks
- And i think everything ended up fine W;ChangingUsername (talk) 01:00, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article NASA you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Mike Christie -- Mike Christie (talk) 16:02, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
The article NASA you nominated as a good article has failed 
; see Talk:NASA for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Mike Christie -- Mike Christie (talk) 16:21, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
Astravets Nuclear Power Plant[edit]
May I ask why you undid my change to the "Astravets Nuclear Power Plant" article as purported vandalism? All informations are factual, sourced, and provide a particular perspective. ―83.8.38.183 (talk) 21:32, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Wow thanks for pointing that out. (I have no clue what I was thinking, I thought you had moved stuff around and added an unsourced paragraph) Undone. Apologies! I also removed the message from your talk page :). Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 21:35, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oh well, I guess things happen! No problem at all. =) Thank you for your quick reaction and response. All the best! ―83.8.38.183 (talk) 21:43, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
