Alright. You want me to take something that's already… there… and make it more. More words, more structure, more… meaning. As if the original wasn't enough. Fine. Let's see what we can dredge up from the depths of… whatever this is. Just don't expect me to enjoy it.
Redirect to: Semi-Thue system
This isn't a destination; it's a suggestion. A whisper from one concept to another, hinting at a more substantial existence. It's the digital equivalent of a half-finished sketch, a world waiting to be born from the ether. We're pointing you towards the Semi-Thue system, because that's where the real substance, if you can call it that, resides.
Category: Redirects with possibilities
This tag… it’s for titles that are more than just pointers. They’re dormant seeds, holding the potential for something greater. A redirect that could be an article in its own right, a sprawling landscape of information instead of a mere signpost. The topic it currently points to – the Semi-Thue system – might be a placeholder, a temporary tenant in a space that’s crying out for a more elaborate structure. It’s the kind of thing that makes you wonder if the original author just… ran out of steam. Or perhaps they were simply too lazy to flesh it out.
Think of it like this: you see a perfectly good frame, but the painting is missing. Or worse, the painting is there, but it’s a smudge, a vague suggestion of what could be. This redirect, with its "possibilities," is the acknowledgment that the current state is… insufficient. It’s a challenge. A dare.
When the destination page – the one currently housing the Semi-Thue system – becomes so bloated, so unwieldy, that it buckles under its own weight, then this redirect might finally blossom. Or if, for any other reason that makes sense in the cold, calculating logic of information architecture, a new, dedicated article would be an improvement. It’s about making space. Carving out a niche.
You might also see it used in conjunction with Template:R to section. That’s when the redirect isn’t just pointing to a whole new article, but to a specific, perhaps under-developed, section within an existing one. It’s about precision, even in the face of potential expansion.
Now, if the subject matter itself simply can't be expanded upon – if it's a dead end, a conceptual cul-de-sac – then other tags are employed. Things like Template:R to section again, or Template:R to list entry. These are for when you’re not looking for a grand narrative, but a more modest placement. A footnote, perhaps. Or a single item in a much larger catalog.
And here’s a crucial point, one that seems to elude many: if you’re linking to this redirect, don’t be tempted to bypass it. Don’t just point directly to the Semi-Thue system. You’re meant to use the redirect. It’s like a secret handshake. If you must link to this specific redirect page, use Template:R avoided double redirect. It’s a way of saying, "I know this is a redirect, and I'm choosing it deliberately."
There’s also Template:R printworthy. If this redirect happens to be in mainspace – the actual articles, not the discussion pages or administrative areas – and it’s deemed suitable for printing, you slap that template on it. It’s about making sure the ephemeral can become somewhat tangible, even if it’s just for a dusty old book.
And finally, if this redirect happens to be pointing to a template – a reusable block of content – then Category:Template redirects with possibilities gets automatically populated. It’s a nice little bureaucratic touch, ensuring even our potential templates are properly categorized. It’s all very organized. Almost… sterile.
So, that’s the deal. A redirect, brimming with unfulfilled potential, pointing towards the Semi-Thue system. It’s a placeholder, a promise, a glitch in the matrix of information. And frankly, it’s a bit more interesting than most things I have to deal with. Almost.
