Linking to Redirects
NE2 and FCYTravis - GENTLEMEN! Are we having a pi&^ing contest over minutia here? PLEASE stop it, the BOTH of you. This is a needless revert war, especially over something this trivial. NE2: You don't need to be involved in a revert war right now, especially one with an ADMIN. FCYTravis - I understand the "why" in your change, it saves on bandwidth and clarifies the links. However, if it ain't broke, don't get sucked into a revert war fixing it. Touch base HERE with NE2, and reach a compromise, INSTEAD of going back and forth in a pointless tennis match of "no, I'M right." "No, I'M RIGHT!".... FYI, This little exchange WILL be noted on the RFAR page, as it only reinforces the notion that there is a problem... Edit Centric (talk) 20:57, 30 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I have also reverted the last major edit by User:AL2TB, as this change placed incorrect info on the exit list table. (Ie: the county abbreviations were all off. Mariposa postmiles are NOT in Tuolomne county. Trust me, I LIVE close enough to Mariposa to know.)
 * Now, before another reckless edit ruins this article, let's ALL take two steps back, breathe, count backwards from 100, then proceed, keeping in mind a PATIENT edit is always the better edit! (Also, the revision was done by me. The IP addy shows up due to the fact that I needed to log in again, and didn't notice. See what I mean about patience, not haste?)

 * Per WP:R there's no need to fix links to redirects. I believe the server costs of doing so outweigh the benefits. However, if you're editing an article for some other reason then changing the link target is perfectly acceptable.  howcheng  {chat} 21:32, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Absolutely! I think the idea that you're positing is actually WP:R2D, on fixing links to redirects that aren't broken. If the redirect link is broken, then okay, it definitely needs to be fixed. But otherwise, you're absolutely right. Edit Centric (talk) 21:50, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


 * AL2TB - We have discussed this ad nauseum here. There is NO reason to fix redirect links that are not broken WP:R2D, but if you want to spin your wheels doing so, good on ya, as long as everything gets checked before posting. Edit Centric (talk) 20:52, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't happen to fix all the redirects; just the pipe links that point to a redirect. I agree with User:FCYTravis, because it is absolutely redundant to create a piped link and point it to a redirect. What are the odds that such redirect page will turn into a new article? I say not so likely. The only time I don't fix a non-broken redirect if, say for example, El Toro Road. It was recently merged and redirected to County Route S18 (California), but I don't fix the El Toro Road redirect because El Toro Road could become an article again in the future. That is how I interpret WP:R2D. AL2TB   Gab  or  Tab  21:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Route description
The "route description" is just a list of nearby landmarks. It doesn't actually describe the route of the highway at all. T71024 (talk) 08:01, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah... hopefully someday somebody will rewrite it. --Rschen7754 (T C) 08:05, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That section used to be called "Points of interest". I don't know why you changed it, Rschen.  howcheng  {chat} 08:30, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not a WP:USRD/STDS standard section. Also, WP:NOT a discriminate collection of information or a travel guide - that stuff doesn't belong. --Rschen7754 (T C) 09:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I prefer to think of it as cross-referencing.  howcheng  {chat} 18:38, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Unnecessary cross-referencing. It is an indiscriminate collection of information. --Rschen7754 (T C) 19:38, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not indiscriminate; these are notable objects as defined by the State of California that are accessible via this highway. An indiscriminate list would include all sorts of other "landmarks", and/or those that were only tangentially related to this route.  howcheng  {chat} 02:15, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * How are the landmarks you listed related to this route? --Rschen7754 (T C) 03:59, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * All of the CHLs (that I added) are either located on or directly accessible via Rte 49.  howcheng  {chat} 06:23, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That is not relevance. --Rschen7754 (T C) 06:27, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how that's not relevant. Here we have historical sites, and the route by which they can be accessed. Please explain your reasoning.  howcheng  {chat} 04:42, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * First of all, who cares that it is CHL # 3434343423221? Secondly, the sites you listed were not very notable. --Rschen7754 (T C) 07:15, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe you don't care, but the State of California cares.  howcheng  {chat} 16:45, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

(OD) We don't write Wikipedia for the California government. Look, this information does not belong in the article. If you disagree, take it to WT:USRD. --Rschen7754 (T C) 16:55, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
