::::Ah-ha, bingo that makes a lot more sense. I'll make a [[User_talk:ChriswaterguyBot/glossary|page for the ChriswaterguyBot]] to notify the redirects which need bypassing. Sorry, I was having a brain malfunction last night, I don't know why I didn't think of that. Here's to reducing the number of low value pages..

I tried the search and replace strings for adding [[User:RichardF/Contents/Interwiki links|interwiki links]] with [http://www.myregextester.com/index.php#resultstab MyRegexTester] on a small group of terms here. It worked just fine. I can add the rest this way without too much effort. I'll then remove them from the existing links. The next step would be for someone to decide if a red link here is worth keeping - a sufficiently "[[Special:WantedPages|wanted page]]". If not, the red link can just be removed and the interwiki link will do. --[[User:RichardF|RichardF]] 19:16, 17 April 2013 (PDT) | I tried the search and replace strings for adding [[User:RichardF/Contents/Interwiki links|interwiki links]] with [http://www.myregextester.com/index.php#resultstab MyRegexTester] on a small group of terms here.

No redirects
I have redirected [[4Rs]] to this glossary (woop). Problem is, how do you now stop it showing up as a page in the list? Joeturner 13:08, 17 April 2013 (PDT)
- Do you mean like this?
- 4Rs - (sustainability) reduce, reuse, recycle, recover (energy)...

- Not really. If there is a redirect, there is a page. which might be a problem given the glossary is showing links (it is a blue link even though it just redirects back to the glossary). I made a new template which means that the blue link doesn't loop back to the glossary. I can't think of a better solution at the moment.. Joeturner 14:07, 17 April 2013 (PDT)
- I see no need or value in linking to a self-referencing redirect. That's actually an incorrect use of the no redirect template. The actual link now should look like this.
- *'''[[Glossary of sustainability terms#0-9|4Rs]]''' - which would display as I showed above.
- 4Rs -
- *'''[[Glossary of sustainability terms#0-9|4Rs]]''' - which would display as I showed above.

Adding interwiki links with MyRegexTester
I tried the search and replace strings for adding interwiki links with MyRegexTester on a small group of terms here. It worked just fine. I can add the rest this way without too much effort. I'll then remove them from the existing links. The next step would be for someone to decide if a red link here is worth keeping - a sufficiently "wanted page". If not, the red link can just be removed and the interwiki link will do. --RichardF 19:16, 17 April 2013 (PDT)
