Wikipedia:FA? → Wikipedia:Featured article criteria[edit]

The result of the debate was keep. Wizardman 17:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect cannot be reached because when attempting to type the question mark, most browsers treat it as the beginning of a parameter list (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo?action=edit), so instead of loading this page, it loads WP:FA. The only way to get to this page is to type "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:FA%3F". Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 01:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: When I want to direct somebody to Wikipedia:Featured article criteria, the redirect I use is WP:FA?. Doing a search (in the search bar on the side of the page) for " WP:FA? " does send you to the correct page, so I'm unsure of your nomination reason. Anyhow, I find this a useful shortcut. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Both WP:GA? and WP:FA? are useful redirects and easily to remember. I do not know what browser issues you are dealing, but I recommend to install Mozilla Firefox, because FF loads Wikipedia:Featured article criteria correctly.

  • Keep — works for me on Firefox. A useful and plausible redirect. EJF (talk) 19:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep — This is a very useful redirect. Nominator, which browsers cannot handle this redirect? - Neparis (talk) 00:59, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- works for me, very useful. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 20:42, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep-as above, technically it works fine. The only way entering "Wikipedia:FA?" leads to Wikipedia:FA is manual entry directly in the address bar, any other use and the MediaWiki software will automatically parse it as "Wikipedia:FA%3F" to avoid that problem.--Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 14:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – I fully understand the reason for the nomination, which is that typing the redirect manually into the browser as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:FA? doesn't work, but WP:FA? is analogous to WP:GA? which to my knowledge has not been proposed for deletion. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 11:32, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
