LIRR station renaming
I'm confused, what did you change? –Daybeers (talk) 00:24, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I removed all the redirects from the move request. You don't need to move a redirect since this will create a double redirect. So if you have "YYY (LIRR station)", which redirects to "XXX (LIRR station)", and then you move "YYY (LIRR station)" to YYY station, now "YYY (LIRR station)" double-redirects to "XXX (LIRR station)" by way of "YYY station". It is better to simply create a new redirect directly from "YYY station" to "XXX (LIRR station)", and that's what I just did. epicgenius (talk) 00:41, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah I get it. So then would we change all the links to "YYY (LIRR station)" to "YYY station", or just leave those alone? –Daybeers (talk) 04:30, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * We would leave the redirects alone. We only move the pages that are actually articles. The titles of the articles (those that are not redirects) would be moved from "YYY (LIRR station)" to "YYY station" (or "YYY station (LIRR)", if disambiguation is needed). epicgenius (talk) 13:18, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
