MEpedia talk:Editorial guidelines

Redirects
Do folks find it more helpful to keep misspelled entries as redirects to the correct name (e.g. pointing Zach Shan to Zack Shan), or delete the misspelled version? Some trade-offs: Here's is [ Wikipedia's guidance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect#Reasons_for_not_deleting] on this issue, but MEpedia may have different needs so I thought I'd ask for opinions.

 * Deleting them means the dropdown results in the search bar will be less cluttered.
 * Keeping them means if anyone makes the same misspelling in the future, they will still be guided to the correct entry. For instance, if someone created a link to Zach Shan in another entry, it would still take the reader to the correct researcher.
