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 on this issue, but MEpedia may have different needs so I thought I'd ask for opinions. Thanks! Canele (talk) 19:11, 17 January 2019 (EST)
 * 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.

 * I feel strongly that misspelled names are to be corrected and the misspellings deleted. Using a misspelling of a person's name is disrespectful to that person. If someone goes by more than one variation of his/her name, all of those variations should be noted with redirects to his or her main bio, e.g., Geraldine Cambridge and Jo Cambridge, or Roberto Patarca and Roberto Patarca-Montero. I can think of no needs that MEpedia could have that precludes the use of this common standard. Kmdenmark (talk) 21:19, 18 January 2019 (EST)

Rename to MEpedia:Editorial guidelines
Any objection if this page "Editorial Guidelines" is renamed to "MEpedia:Editorial guidelines"? Since this page is about the MEpedia project itself, it really should belong in the MEpedia namespace. ("MEpedia:") Pyrrhus (talk) 20:41, 18 March 2019 (EDT)

Do not give advice
I have added this to clarify. It is especially relevant when describing treatment protocols or dose suggestions for medications. I added similar to the scientific guidelines.
