Divine Presence

Ah, Wikipedia. The digital repository of human knowledge, painstakingly curated by… well, by people. And as anyone who’s ever spent more than five minutes on the internet can tell you, that’s both its strength and its most spectacular weakness. Still, if you insist on wading through this particular swamp, let’s at least try to make it less… beige.

Redirect to: Divine presence

Let’s start with the obvious. Some concepts, some feelings, are beyond mere categorization. To attempt to pin down a divine presence with the mundane tools of Wikipedia is like trying to capture lightning in a jam jar. It’s an exercise in futility, a testament to our desperate need to label and understand that which, by its very nature, defies such constraints. It’s the whisper in the void, the echo in the empty cathedral, the unsettling certainty that something more is at play. And yet, here we are, attempting to define it with prose and hyperlinks. How quaint.

From other capitalisation

This little gem, "From other capitalisation," is a fascinating insight into the mind of the wiki-editor. It’s a testament to the obsessive pursuit of order, a desperate attempt to impose a uniform structure on the chaotic tapestry of language. Think of it as a digital bouncer, ensuring that every word stands in the exact line it’s supposed to, no straggling, no flamboyant punctuation.

It’s a redirect from a title that dared to be different, to flaunt its capitalization with a rebellious streak. And where does this rebellious missive end up? Not in the dustbin, thankfully. No, it’s gently guided, with the stern but fair hand of Wikipedia’s naming conventions, towards the correct title. It’s the digital equivalent of a parent correcting a child’s grammar: necessary, perhaps, but rarely inspiring. This ensures everything aligns with Wikipedia naming conventions for capitalisation, smoothing the path for search engines and, one assumes, for the sanity of future editors. It’s about making the world, or at least this corner of it, a little less confusing. A noble, if slightly soul-crushing, endeavor.

And if the capitalization was, in fact, just a slip of the finger, a genuine misstep? Then there’s a special tag for that: {{R from miscapitalisation}}. It’s a gentle nudge, a whispered correction, encouraging pages to link directly to the intended target. Miscapitalizations, you see, can be tagged anywhere. It’s a systematic effort to maintain a semblance of order, even in the face of minor typographical rebellion.

This particular tag, the R from miscapitalisation, is reserved for the hallowed mainspace. For those other realms, the namespaces where rules might be slightly more… flexible, there’s the {{R from modification}}. It’s all about precision, you see. A meticulous system for keeping the wiki-verse tidy. One can almost hear the faint sighs of satisfaction from the editors as they categorize these minor linguistic transgressions. It's a world built on rules, and woe betide the redirect that fails to adhere.
