Template talk:R to historic name

Why does redirect here?
Generally, people do not gain "historic" significance just by changing their names or using nicknames. Was this redirection related to a past misuse of the word "historic" to mean any former name? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 21:05, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the creator, SMcCandlish, could shed some light on this? Happy holidays!  Paine  01:14, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I meant to redir it to Template:R to former name. Fixed.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  02:35, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
