Wikivoyage talk:Wts

Wts: pages
Special:WantedPages shows pages for which links exist but the target page does not. Currently quite a few of them have names starting with "Wts", a reference to Wikitravel Shared, a namespace which has never existed on WV. For us, these are just clutter.

I'd like to create a page, probably at Wts, put a short explanation there with links to Wikivoyage and Wikitravel, & to Commons & Meta which (among other things) do here what Wts did there. Then redirect all the "wanted" pages there, removing the clutter.

What do others think of this notion? Pashley (talk) 00:46, 29 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Sounds fine with me. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 00:49, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Think it would be better to put a "nowiki" around the source of the red redlink, removing the wanted pages. --Traveler100 (talk) 06:16, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Or maybe a little smarter with the removing of the link:


 * by wrapping in template. --Traveler100 (talk) 08:21, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
 * 123 page with links to wts: pages and 271 pages with links to :wts: pages. Would removing any of these links be a problem? --Traveler100 (talk) 14:08, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Also should add your support to having source filter on the page. --Traveler100 (talk) 06:41, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to skip the template. If there's a relevant link now, it could be re-pointed to the relevant page.  Otherwise, I think it should just be made into a non-link.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:43, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
