 * Maybe this might be better as a redirect to Battle of Beruna, a disambiguation page? Tra 20:49, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * The creation of duplicate pages, including as a redirect, can be bothersome in that it cluters the wiki up and does not show the true number of articles. Unless a good enough reason is presented, this page will be deleted in 4 days.
 * I'm not sure you totally understand how redirects work. A redirect and a duplicate page are two very different things. A duplicate page is usually a one-sentence article that was created yesterday that should really have been added to the existing article for that subject. I agree that these are obviously bad. A redirect exists so that someone searching for something under an alternate name is taken automatically to the correct article. This means that all the information about a subject is concentrated on to one page.


 * You say it 'cluters the wiki up'. In what way? If you are referring to them being listed in Special:AllPages then although it does add a lot to the page, the redirects are clearly indicated so anyone reading that list can determine which pages are actual content pages and therefore focus on them.


 * As for 'does not show the true number of articles', this is incorrect. Down the left hand side of each page, it says 'Latest activity 680 articles on this wiki'. If you go to Special:Statistics, you'll see that this number does not include redirects. There are in fact 3,079 pages if you include redirects and non-article pages.


 * Personally, I find redirects to be generally harmless. If you want to delete the page, go ahead I don't care. However, I don't believe it would cause problems if it existed as a redirect. Tra 10:43, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Would you redirect it to Battle of Beruna or to one of the specific battles? I would redirect it to Battle of Beruna. ~Ed
 * Sweet! I didn't know that. Thanks for that information!


 * I would agree that would be better as there are two battles with the same name. Tra 17:17, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
