--- Comment #3 from Rd232 <[email protected]> 2012-04-09 12:13:46 UTC --- Additional: one use for file redirects is to allow transclusion of an "always-up-to-date" link. Basically, individual files should be stable: File:African borders 2011.jpg should always show the 2011 borders, etc. If people want to transclude a "current African borders" file, that should be a redirect: File:current African borders.jpg, which can be redirected to whatever the current file is for that series, so in 2012 it can be changed to point to File:African borders 2012.jpg, etc. Now, ideally, a template on the redirect would explain matters, but because file redirects don't show any non-redirect content that's not possible at the moment. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
