Some Wikipedias are for macrolanguages (e.g. Akan, Arabic, Quetchua) or language
groups (e.g. Alemannic, Quetchua, Ripuarian) or languages laking a single, known,
or fixed orthograpy (e.g. Azeri=Azerbaidjani, Belorussian, Gothic, Kernewek=Karnuak,
Kurdi, Plattdüütsch, Serbian)
All these may need to have above average redirects so as to accomodate spelling
or dialectal variants of words. These redirects more often than not collate to
clusters of identical targets under very similarly spelt names.
Working through the lists generated bySpecial:Allpages, and Special:Prefixindex,
which must tediously be read zig-zag rather quickly top-down, is unpleasant and
error-prone.
It is possible to css display:none the redirects, which is maybe more workable but
certainly not pretty.
Best Solution so far to me is, to add a checkbox saying:
- hide redirects
to the initial selection page. Its default should be off, which does not change the
current default behaviour.
