There is a discussion going on at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Request to create redirect page at Matplotlib version3.3.3, https://matplotlib.org/ regarding this type of redirect. I requested an admin make a redirect that I could not because it had a url in the name, and I am being met with a surprising amount of opposition and even one call to delete all existing redirects from file metadata links (1277 total as of now). I am truly surprised at this and don't understand the reason why there is so much push-back for what I thought was an innocuous request to make a harmless and helpful redirect. If anyone has an opinion on this type of redirect, please weigh in on this discussion there. Thanks. --Yarnalgotalk 17:46, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
