Talk:Standing Rules of the United States Senate

Untitled
Corrected the links. Wonder if the actual rules should be here? 68.100.68.23 23:46, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Secret Holds
I there anyone here who is familiar with the so-called secret holds? If so, the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 article could use help on clarifying what a secret hold is, and under which rule it operates. Thanks. --Burzum 00:13, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Redundancy
Just about the entirety of the first section of the article is listed word-for-word in the United States Senate article. Maybe some cleanup or rewording is in order? Tristan (talk) 22:45, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Merge rules
A single rule of the Senate is not notable. Why every one has an article I have no idea. Therefore if there is no opposition I will merge the rules into one article. Reywas92 Talk

Pointless Internal Links
Why does every rule have an internal link to its own article? If all the articles were merged (presumably by  Reywas92  ) (seemingly removing any detail on them that might be useful) then the merger has the obligation to complete the job and remove the internal links.

It must be adding a significant amount to the size of the document beyond being misleading Nosebagbear (talk) 09:24, 19 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I made that merge proposal back in 2012 but apparently forgot to get back to it after leaving time for discussion. They were never merged at all but they still should be. You're welcome to do so, or maybe I'll get around to it eventually after all. Reywas92Talk 19:21, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

I am tagging all redirects for internal links for specific rules that are self-redirects for deletion. I am leaving those that redirect to actual pages. We can then consider whether we want those without redirects to have red links, or to delete those without reasonable pages to redirect to. To my knowledge, only rule XIX (debate) has its own page.

 * Circular redirects can easily be handled by just unlinking the topic with the option to restore such links once the redirect target changes. I have unlinked all known circular redirects, including those up for discussion, with no comment on the redirects to be discussed. Jalen Folf   (talk)  17:47, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I agree that having all those red links for rules without an appropriate redirect is unwise, as many are not worthy of their own pages. However, if links are added in the future, I think using piped links is far more appropriate than having redirects anyway, so I still think the redirect pages should be deleted. It is beyond me why they were created as self-redirects in the first place. This is my first experience with this and I had thought it would be easier to properly fix, but I of course the redirects are actual pages that cannot be unilaterally deleted.

I have removed all internal links to redirect pages for specific rules, except Rule XIX, which has its own page due to its particular notability, and added piped links where appropriate for the topics of those rules. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:53, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
