Talk:Too-Too (Doctor Dolittle)

Requested move 11 November 2015

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Moved. Per the discussion, this didn't seem like something that needed an RM in the first place, as there wasn't really an objection to the submission of the move as a technical request (just some confusion since approximately the same result could be accomplished a different way). This discussion was closed by an editor who was involved in the discussion, but that didn't seem like a problem in light of the view that this appears to be just minor housekeeping. Also, there was a four-day warning that I might close this, and there has been no objection to that. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:54, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Too-Too → Too-Too (Doctor Dolittle) – displace redirect to indicate topic separate from others – 70.51.44.60 (talk) 09:11, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:33, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * ❌ It's already a redirect. Philg88 ♦talk 17:39, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * That is the point, to displace the redirect -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 18:05, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Why? It already redirects to List of Doctor Dolittle characters. There is no advantage in moving it to a longer title. Philg88 ♦talk 18:36, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I suppose the suggestion may be for Too-Too to redirect to Tootoo, Tutu, or Two two. —BarrelProof (talk) 20:52, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * In which case an edit will take care of it - there is no page history involved. Philg88 ♦talk 21:45, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * If I did that, no redirect would remain to the list article, so moving the this redirect would solve that problem. I still see no reason why this was objected to, if you think a retarget is perfectly fine, then displacing the redirect should have been no problem for you to object to. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:00, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think there was really an objection. I think Philg88 just expressed confusion about why this was being requested and thought it was unnecessary since approximately the same outcome could be achieved without the move. AFAIK, redirects don't normally get handled through the WP:RM process. Perhaps it should have been brought up at WP:RFD (or moved there instead of here from WP:RMTR). I don't personally see a problem with either suggestion – one possibility being to first retarget the Too-Too redirect and then create a new redirect at Too-Too (Doctor Dolittle), and the other possibility being to move this redirect to Too-Too (Doctor Dolittle) and then retarget Too-Too. It may be worth noting that the redirect is basically not currently being used, but I see no harm in having a redirect at Too-Too (Doctor Dolittle). I might take care of this myself (people involved in an RM aren't generally supposed to close the RM, but this doesn't seem like something that needed an RM in the first place). —BarrelProof (talk) 18:01, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
