Wikipedia talk:Template index/Redirect pages

Ligatures

There's something weird going on between Wikipedia:Template index/Redirect pages and {{R from ligature}}/{{R to ligature}}. The former gives ß as a ligature that should be under {{R from ASCII-only}} when it's used to substitute for SS, while it gives {{R to ligature}} when a B is used to substitute for it, but the ligature template pages make no such distinction and seem to imply that they should be used any time an ß is involved. I'm left confused as to what redirects including the ß should cover – the template index seems to imply that the ligature template is for characters that look similar, which I don't think is accurate, but I don't know for certain. I would think some more clarification is needed, or an updating of the examples in some fashion; I'd do it myself, but I don't know what these templates' intended (and actual) use-cases are.

Rm incorrect example of {R to user namespace}

The example given for {{R to user namespace}} of

User:SuperEditor → User:Tricky Ed

is incorrect if the rule on no intra-user namespace redirects is true. Tule-hog (talk) 21:28, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Renamed users have userpage redirects. As do misspelled user names. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 02:58, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

To clarify, I didn't mean 'no intra-user namespace redirects' in general; only for {{R to user namespace}}. From this redirect page must be outside the user namespace.Tule-hog (talk) 02:59, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

The existence of the rule for {{R to user namespace}}, as well as the cases you have mentioned, is the motivation for my request elsewhere. Tule-hog (talk) 03:03, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

An alternative proposal would be to strike the rule, but I imagine it's there for a good reason. Tule-hog (talk) 03:04, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
