Retarget Telus links
I recently closed an RM discussion that moved the article {{-r|Telus}} to Telus Communications, and I'd like to retarget the existing mainspace links to that article so that the primary title can potentially become a DAB or get usurped if desired. According to Special:WhatLinksHere, there are currently 391 mainspace links to {{-r|Telus}}; as far as I can tell, all of them should be suitable for retargeting. Would someone be able to help out with this? ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 19:11, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
:Sure! {{doing}} ~ Rusty meow ~ 22:46, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
::{{done}}! I actually ended up using the Move+ script to retarget the links, lol. ~ Rusty meow ~ 23:13, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Thank you! I'll have to check out Move+ for myself, lol. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 16:01, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
Create redirects from human-curated list
Is it potentially appropriate to run AWB to create redirects in bulk? I have long lists of redirects I believe need to be created (and the lists are growing, growing, growing), so if there's any way that this could be appropriate, I'd like to discuss the details and see if it's workable and appropriate in this situation. Nyttend (talk) 21:44, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
:It is potentially appropriate. But I would suggest opening an RfC for any mass redirect creations. I have some experience being on the wrong side in this kind of situation, so my suggestion comes from a place of knowledge, not assumption. VanIsaac, GHTV contrabout 22:58, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

::And {{done}}. I also found four additional pages to fix by varying the capitalization of "draft". VanIsaac, GHTV contrabout 16:08, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Thanks. There are lots more contexts where NFL Draft should be fixed, if you're interested in helping more with that. For example [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%22NFL+Draft%22+insource%3A%2F%5BIi%5Dn+the+%5B0-9%5D%2B+NFL+Draft%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1 the search
Behavior change for {{tl|PresFoot}}
(Request moved to WP:BOTREQ, 18:41, 29 May 2025 (UTC) )
:@Zinnober9: Uhhh, you might want to consider posting at WP:BOTREQ as well/instead; 2950 is quite a large number of pages IMO ~ Rusty meow ~ 06:06, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
::AWB was talked about before determining the quantity of pages, so thought I was in the right place. Thanks for the input, have moved as suggested. Zinnober9 (talk) 18:41, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
