- This something that has consensus beside one guy saying "Hey this would be neat" ? That's quite a lot, imo, of redirects especially when you're multiplying that by $foo articles. Q T C 14:26, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- User Dividing has been doing this by hand until recently, where BAG asked him to get a bot account to do this. I'm sure he has consensus to do this already. CWii(Talk|Contribs) 15:51, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
