Template talk:R from misspelling#Hidden parameter, and need for conditional text

Why is this template a member of both :Category:Templates for unprintworthy redirects and :Category:Templates for printworthy redirects? – Uanfala (talk) 14:52, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

:{{re|Uanfala}} Because the template inherits those by virtue of transcluding its documentation, which has examples of both. I don't really see the point of "printworthiness" so I don't pay much attention to that. wbm1058 (talk) 18:00, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

:Oh, I see. Those are both categorized at the bottom of the template documentation. Anyhow, the documentation explains how a misspelling in one context may be considered a correct spelling in another context, and thus be "printworthy". I think it's all too convoluted and confusing. – wbm1058 (talk) 18:07, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Template:R from tpyo. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Nardog (talk) 22:47, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

If editor uses {{R from misspelling}}, then correct form should have link. Monniasza talk edits 08:31, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

:I've definitely seen numerous cases where some knucklehead has "fixed" a link by changing it from {{code|Original misspelling}} to {{code|Original misspelling}}, if that's what you're talking about. A database report of this antipattern would be good. ―cobaltcigs 22:49, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

I'd think we'd want a bot to alert the linker that they may have made a typo, or at least add it to a database of links that could be fixed. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 03:36, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

:I tried to construct this query with Petscan, but I failed. You might ask at Wikipedia:Request a query or a related forum to see if someone can write a quarry query for "mainspace pages that link to pages that transclude {{tl|R from misspelling}}". – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:15, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
