I tried to redirect from "Explainer video" to go to "Explainer videos" instead of "tutorial" because it makes more sense. Then I also changed the "Explainer videos" to redirect to "Explainer video" instead of plural. I also added one video from the company ad2games. I don't understand why this is not ok. Thanks

Explainer Video Comment Reply
Firstly, redirecting Explainer video to Explainer videos won't work. If you follow Explainer videos and change "redirect=yes" to "redirect=no" you can see that Explainer videos is in itself a redirect. Apparently, Wikipedia won't follow Double Redirects.

Secondly, there isn't anything "wrong" with what you did, you thought you were being helpful, which as far as I'm concerened, is the point of wikipedia. However, as I hope you can see from my above point, the initial change would have just caused confusion, with people who were looking for help with explainer viedos simply seeing a redirect page.

As for your later change, to actually give the page content, I personally don't know why that was reverted. Try looking through this and this, it might explain why. I haven't personally read through both completely, but from a quick glance, they should be able to answer your question better than I can.

Thanks

ok so Ben556 here again. Now everything is deleted?! before there were a page "Explainer videos" with content about explaner videos.... There were also a page "Tutorial" that had a redirection from "Explainer video". I took all the content from "Explainer Videos" and redirected it to "Explainer video". It might have been some weird stuff with me doing so much changes at the same time. But now both "Explainer video" and "Explainer videos" have a redirection to "Tutorial". Please find the old content and put it on "Explainer video" and then make "Explainer videos" have a redirection to the other site. "Tutorial" is nothing of what an explainer video is. That is just wrong

Hello, I'm MrX. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Explainer video, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. - MrX 11:04, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

OK, I'll admit, I only just found out how to do this: please remember to sign posts with  or , this automatically adds a line of code in the edit something like:   which is what is put in when I put. If you put  it also puts a time stamp. Thanks, m8e39 07:01, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
