Bridge index
re: Bridge. As you may or may not have noticed, your edit 7 Feb 2007 of the link in the index to bridge types of "Tresle" to "Trestle bridge" broke the link (it became red, - "redlinked", indicating that no such article existed, as in tresle bridge). I only just discovered this but have repaired the problem by restoring it to its previous form.

Trestles in the USA are not called "tresle bridges", being rather redundant in our usage (like saying "bridge bridge"), and the USA useage and spellings are typical for general interest articles in the English language WP not specifically associated with other regions. If "tresle bridge" is a common useage form in any area, let me know and I will show you how to create a redirect, or you may wish to do that yourself, in which case the redlink above will turn to black upon refresh.

Should you encounter this problem in the future, you can used a link that splits the hyperlink from the text presentation - e.g. tresle bridge, or move (rename) the article, neither of which I suggest in this particular case. Renaming may require adjusting a large number of referring articles.
