Name of this page

I think Wikipedia:BrilliantProse is appropriate: clear that it's historical. A less satisfying alternative would be Wikipedia:Historical archive/BrilliantProse. – SJ + 16:02, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Redirects to this page

Wikipedia:Brilliant prose redirects here.

The first ever post to wikipedia-l linked to BrilliantProse (before namespace proliferation!), and that remained a cross-namespace redirect for some time. That feels appropriate to restore as a singular exception, preserving the link across the many years and software / policy changes. – SJ + 16:02, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

History of Wikipedia § Look and feel says:

• On 4 April 2002, BrilliantProse, since renamed Featured Articles, was moved to the Wikipedia namespace from the article namespace.

so that's a potential article-space target for a redirect, though there's only that brief mention.

I added a link to here in History of Wikipedia § External links. – wbm1058 (talk) 14:18, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Moving to the historical archive

I'm working on improving the structure of Wikipedia:Historical archive, which contains various parts of our history as subpages. At present Wikipedia:Historical archive/BrilliantProse redirects here - any objections to my moving this there instead, leaving a redirect?  — Scott • talk 16:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

No objections here. Pinging Wbm1058, who created the redirect and made this relevant edit. Graham87 (talk) 02:00, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

And SJ, who commented above. Graham87 (talk) 02:05, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
