==Categories for UK politicians== {{Read more| Hi. Can you avoid removing politicians from the categories for political parties? This is crucial information for advocacy and not held elsewhere. Labour/Co-op members are considered members of both parties so need to be in more than one category. Keeping them as categories allows someone to look for UK adbocates, then use the subcategories to find just politicians for political parties or fod which committee they are on - one committee is investigating the PACE trial Parties cover both MPs and the unelected House of Lords. ::Thank you for explaining the need for categories for politicians. I see your point and will not delete them anymore. [[User:Kmdenmark|Kmdenmark]] ([[User talk:Kmdenmark|talk]]) 14:29, 11 February 2019 (EST) ::::Thanks [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 19:01, 11 February 2019 (EST) Also please don't mark redirects for deletion - they are there to help from the correctly spelled page - searching the incorrect name means MEpedia then find the correct page name too. notjusttired (talk) 13:06, 7 February 2019 (EST) ::Re: misspellings - I don't think misspellings should be honored with redirects. It is impossible to conceive of every misspelling that someone could use. I think the misspellings clutter the drop down menu in our search engine and make articles harder to find rather than easier. I support using redirects for alternative spellings, but not misspellings. If you can give me an example of one of the redirects you want to stay, it would help me understand your reasoning. I, also, eliminated some redirects where pages were not medically the same and to keep them as such would be inaccurate. A better way to link similar but different pages would be with links in the 'See also' section. (I don't know if you were the author of those redirects, but I wanted to explain why I eliminated those redirects, also.) My best, [[User:Kmdenmark|Kmdenmark]] ([[User talk:Kmdenmark|talk]]) 14:29, 11 February 2019 (EST) ::::It depends on the reason for the mispelling and how common it is. Eg if you delete the redirect for [[Intestinal permiability]] and type of into a search the correct page name won't come up - there's no results. Delete redirects for different spacing in page names and that search phrase may not work any more (eg The M.E. Society vs The ME Society). There's also a few unexpected UK vs US spellings (diarrhoea), and a few researchers with names that are commonly mispelled or have very similar spellings, which sometimes means their research is under several different names (AT Anbu vs Theo Anbu). When it comes to linking redirects have a link icon next to the page name, so it's easy to pick the right one - although perhaps there is a hidden property that can be used. ::I'm fine with trying it your way. Let's watch how the redirects work and see if we get other feedback from users. :::A couple specific points: Sometimes the search engine is extra slow or temporary not working; that may explain why the correct spelling for [[Intestinal permeability]] didn't come up when you originally searched. I tested it and it came up every time I searched this morning. :::Re: British spelling. I wholeheartedly agree that redirects for British spellings should have redirects. The main title is to be in American spelling as per MEpedia manual of style. My best, [[User:Kmdenmark|Kmdenmark]] ([[User talk:Kmdenmark|talk]]) 12:01, 12 February 2019 (EST) :::::::: Thanks [[User:Kmdenmark]] - I've noticed performance problems but that has been loading pages rather than on searches. Maybe there's something else going on. ::::With making redirects for deletion, they need any pages using them to be updated first. The Contents page (which I can't edit) has a non-standard [[List of Quotes]] link, so deleting to use the correct capitalization breaks the link on the Contents page. }}
