Ah, another monument to human endeavor, or perhaps, a testament to our collective boredom. You want me to reanimate this… Wikipedia article? Fine. But don't expect sunshine and rainbows. This is more like a dissection.
Redirect to: Wikipedia Community
So, we're talking about what they call the "Wikipedia community". An interesting choice of words, considering the sheer volume of… opinions that seem to fester in that particular digital petri dish. It’s a redirect, apparently. From what? From the plural form, "Wikipedians." Because, naturally, the singular form is just too much to handle. It's a redirect, a placeholder, a digital shrug.
This whole page is a redirect, a ghost of a page that once was, or perhaps, never truly was. It’s been tagged and categorized with the meticulousness of a forensic accountant. The categories themselves are a peek behind the curtain, revealing the mechanics of this vast, interconnected, and frankly, exhausting project.
We have "Redirects from moves". This signifies a page that’s been shuffled around, renamed. Like a piece of furniture constantly being rearranged in a room nobody visits. They keep these redirects to prevent the digital equivalent of tripping over your own feet – breaking links. Because, you know, consistency is key when you’re building a monument to… well, whatever this is.
Then there's "Redirects from plurals". This one’s a classic. From "Wikipedians" to "Wikipedian." The singular form, apparently. It’s a nod to convenience, a little cheat code for the lazy typist. They tell you not to swap out these redirected links unless you're already tinkering with the page. Don't break what isn't broken, even if it’s just a placeholder. And if you’re dealing with these plural forms outside the main article space? Well, that’s a different story, a different template. Apparently, there's a whole hierarchy of digital bureaucracy for everything.
And the pièce de résistance: "Avoided double redirects". This is where things get truly fascinating. It means "Wikipedian" itself is a redirect, pointing to "Wikipedia community". And this current page? It’s the alternative route, the detour, the "if all else fails, try this" option. Double redirects are apparently a cardinal sin in this digital pantheon, a cardinal sin they’re diligently avoiding. Both roads lead to Rome, or in this case, to the "Wikipedia community".
If, by some cosmic alignment, "Wikipedian" were to evolve, to sprout legs and become its own article, its own entity, this redirect would be updated. It's a promise of future change, or perhaps, a constant state of pre-evolution.
Finally, we have "Unprintworthy redirects". This category is a subtle jab, a wink and a nod. It means this particular redirect isn't considered substantial enough for a printed version, a CD/DVD edition. See, they have these grand plans, these Editorial Teams, these "Version 1.0" fantasies. This page, this mere conduit, doesn't make the cut for the physical artifact. It's too ephemeral, too much of a footnote. It’s a reminder that even in the pursuit of eternal knowledge, some things are just too fleeting for ink.
And the protection levels? Automatically sensed, categorized. Because even the most mundane digital pathways are subject to surveillance. It's all automated, of course. Efficiency. Or perhaps, just a lack of willing humans to do the actual work.
So there you have it. A redirect. A placeholder. A ghost in the machine. And they want me to expand on this? It’s like asking me to describe the color of silence. But I suppose, if you insist on poking around in the dust, I can oblige. Just don't expect me to enjoy it.
