Hello, I'm Widefox. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you unlinked one or more redlinks from Tidal (disambiguation). Often redlinks can be helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

In addition, clicking on the "What links here" special link (in the Wikipedia Toolbox at left) on a missing article shows how many—and which—articles depend on that article being created. This can help prioritize article creation. Redlinks are useful! Please, only remove a redlink if you are pretty sure that it is to a non-notable topic and not likely ever to be created. and other articles. Some of your redlink removals may be appropriate but please be aware that at least one may not - see WP:REDDEAL. Regarding Tidal (disambiguation) see WP:MOSDAB where this redlink is specifically allowed. I even left a comment in the dab page to highlight this. Widefox; talk 09:43, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
