Talk:As of

What is the shortest way of getting to As of if the previous cross-namespace redirects of as of → Wikipedia:As_of was not allowed? See Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2006_December_7 - Petersam (talk) 08:25, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Found a solution to avoid dictionary definitions as well as cross-namespace redirects at Soft redirect . Petersam (talk) 07:37, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The link to WP:As of is a selfref, which should be noted. The hatnote template Selfref is unusable this place (use ad hatnote?). -DePiep (talk) 06:33, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

I restored this page to be a redirect to effective date. The dab page had only that page as a valid article-space target - the link to As of is a self reference that should be avoided. The link is maintained using the hatnote template at the target article. Thryduulf (talk) 14:25, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
