Bolding of thrum
As I explained when I made the edit on 9 November, I was following WP:ASTONISH. Before that edit, if one tried navigating to thrum (botany), one found oneself having landed (largely inexplicably) here at Heterostyly. Well, Wikipedia:Redirect reads in part:


 * "Normally, we try to make sure that all "inbound redirects" other than misspellings or other obvious close variants of the article title are mentioned in the first couple of paragraphs of the article or section to which the redirect goes. It will often be appropriate to bold the redirected term."

I don't know why User:RowletChess undid my edit, so I've reverted to it. If he they feel strongly, they are invited to join this discussion.—PaulTanenbaum (talk) 16:53, 13 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Paul, thank you for explaining your reasoning, your original edit seems justified. When I landed on Heterostyly, "thrum" being bolded but "pin" not being bolded looked weird to me. Although I saw you cited WP:ASTONISH, I did not realise the rule to bold redirected terms. Thanks for the revert. RowletChess (talk) 01:41, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
