Don't add short descriptions to redirects

Adding the short description tag at the top of a redirect stops it from being a redirect anymore. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:21, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

wasn't aware i even did this (or it was a thing, sorry about that) where did i do it? Telpies (talk) 13:25, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Sorry about the terse message, but I was in a hurry yesterday. Anyway, this is the problematic edit. Adding short descriptions to articles that need them is totally needed though, and you should continue with those. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 01:57, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

shit sorry, i didn't realise this was a redirect because mobile didn't take me down to the subheading! thanks! Telpies (talk) 06:14, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Hey, no worries. It was an easy fix. Just wanted to bring it to your attention before you did a ton of them. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:43, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Short descriptions

Hi, I see that you added 50 more characters to the short description at Project 2025. Short descriptions are for disambiguation purposes; they are not definitions. And they should be as short as possible, usually no more than 40 characters in length. See Wikipedia:Short description. Thanks, Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 07:54, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
