On the topic of redirects, please also keep in mind that, according to policy, lowercase redirects are not necessary if searching in all lowercase takes you to the page, either directly or through another redirect, ''without'' the lowercase redirect. So "[[afoot in the foothills]]" is fine because, without it, MediaWiki's search function won't recognise it as "[[Afoot in the Foothills]]". Redirects like "into outer space" are unneeded, since searching that will take me there anyway thanks to another one you created, "[[Into Outer Space]]". I would recommend searching first before creating a redirect.

::::Oh, okay. For a lot of them, I used the Search bar, but the redirect still worked. But I thought I still needed a lowercase one (not sure what was going on in my head), so I went to an article, made a link, clicked show preview, and clicked the red link to make it. So no more of that. | |||
