Userspace page from 2006 that looks like a project page at WP:WikiProject Africa. Ricky81682 (talk) 08:27, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa. It is an early version of the development of that WikiProject. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:52, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why redirect to that project page? I could at least live with a move to say Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/archive or something but a cross-space redirect seems unnecessary. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:10, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-space redirects are really about no redirects out of mainspace, and template/category cross redirects would be problems, but redirects from userspace are not a concern.

Move to a subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/archive would be fine, but leave a redirect behind for the author to find. Main point is that it should certainly exist as an archive, your idea is probably better. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:26, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
