Talk:Cognitohazard

How do redirect links work?
What is their purpose? Being direct is sometimes useful. Indirection can feel like magic.

If I were to send someone a link to the page "CognitoHazard", whose cognition would I affect?

 * Hi, Hypick. The purpose of a redirect is to help direct users to the most relevant page. To use the example on the redirect page: if you search for UK, it will send you to United Kingdom. Another example would be Sour apple redirecting someone to Granny Smith, the name for the specific varietal of sour apple.
 * In this case, it looks like "cognitohazard" is simply another word for "information hazard". Schrödinger's jellyfish &#9993; 05:52, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Jellyfish,
 * How did you get your name? I would appreciate it if you didn't talk about my family.

Link to Wiktionary article?
On a serious note, linking to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cognitohazard could be more useful surely, as the page Information hazard has little to do with cognition itself.
