School of Fish

This page is a redirect . For the actual phenomenon, see Shoal . Because apparently we need to specify that “school of fish” doesn’t mean Harvard for trout.

Redirect Details

The following categories are applied to this page because we love bureaucracy:

• From an alternative name – This is a redirect from a title that is another name or identity such as an alter ego, a nickname, or a synonym of the target, or of a name associated with the target. Because “school of fish” wasn’t confusing enough already. Yes, let’s pretend this is merely an alternative name rather than the term 99% of actual humans use. How delightfully academic.

• This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names to aid searches and writing. Translation: we’ve decided to inconvenience you for your own good. You’re welcome. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link . Someone actually had to write that down. The tragedy.

• If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then {{R from incorrect name }} should be used instead. Because what this situation desperately needs is more templates. Obviously.

Additional Administrative Nonsense

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized. Yes, because redirects need protection. From what, exactly? Overzealous editors? People who might… un-redirect them? The mind reels at the bureaucratic poetry of it all.

Note: If you were looking for actual information about fish swimming in organized groups (which, let’s be honest, is far more interesting than this administrative drivel), you’ll find it under Shoal . Where you’ll discover that technically, a “shoal” is any group of fish, while a “school” refers specifically to fish swimming in synchronized, polarized patterns. Because precision matters, apparently. Even for fish.
