Straight Dope

Redirect to:

  • The Straight Dope
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • From a page move: This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name.
  • From an incorrect name: This is a redirect from an incorrect name, that serves readers as a good search term. The correct name is given by the target of the redirect.
    • Pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target without the use of a piped link that hides the correct details.
  • From a less specific name: This is a redirect from a title that is a less specific name to a more specific, less general one.
    • It may be a less specialized term, a broader usage, a generic term or simply be worded less narrowly. It leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help writing and searches. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
    • Such names often indicate that a broader, overview article needs to be written. For such redirects {{R with possibilities}} should also be added.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
