Talk:Water Attunements

Not Sure why you tag this Delete

This is a perfect redirect. Whats wrong with it?--Knighthonor 01:01, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

It's as valid as "Water Atttunement", "Watter Attunement", "Water Attumement", and so on. Instead of making a redirect for every possible way to misspell a word, it's better to wait to see what the players will misspell it as and then add a redirect from there. Erasculio 01:12, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

How is that different from this?--Knighthonor 01:15, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

It's the difference between "what the players will misspell it as" and "what you misspelt it as". Erasculio 01:21, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

So? I missed Spelled it, so how does that not count in your logic?--Knighthonor 01:28, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

It's the difference between one person making a mistake once to the community making a mistake so often it's actually worth being noted on the wiki and thus being made into a redirect. Erasculio 01:29, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

So how will you tell what other misspelled it as?--Knighthonor 01:34, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

When we have enough people misspelling it within the game and within other places (here, the forums, etc) in order for it to become a common misspelt. Erasculio 01:41, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

But you never answered how you know when people are misspelling it here. And why wouldnt my Misspell no count in this logic you have about this subject. I also seem many other redirects on this site do that same thing. Are you going to delete those as well based on your logic?--Knighthonor 01:44, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

The point is this is unsightly and unnecessary and serves no purpose. Redirects happen because of a widespread misconception, like how many people thought SLiver Armor was Silver Armor or how Chill BLanes was Chill Banes. This currently is not a misconception and takes up unnecessary space on the site. If its not needed or informative, it should be removed.208.74.140.124 02:53, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

So why not delete the Ele page, since why would somebody type that in for Elementalist ?--Knighthonor 10:29, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Because Ele is a well-known abbreviation for Elementalist. It's a valid redirect. --Naoroji 10:35, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
