 * This something that has consensus beside one guy saying "Hey this would be neat" ? That's quite a lot, imo, of redirects especially when you're multiplying that by $foo articles. Q  T C 14:26, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * User Dividing has been doing this by hand until recently, where BAG asked him to get a bot account to do this. I'm sure he has consensus to do this already.   CWii ( Talk  15:51, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Since it's already being done, (51 being equal to 3 sets of 17 redirects, so you don't have to stop in the middle of one road. I'm not fussy about seeing exactly that many.) --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs (st47) 15:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ It went very smoothly, one problem being a spelling mistake in the code(Which of course is fixed). The bot also made some userspace edits to change its status indicator.   CWii ( Talk  16:14, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * You are very fast! --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs (st47) 16:16, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
