Currently Gender critical and Gender-critical point to different pages; the former points to TERF while the latter points to Feminist views on transgender topics#Gender critical feminism/trans-exclusionary radical feminism. I don't really see why the hyphen is enough to get these to point to different pages, so I'm bringing this up for discussion here. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 23:34, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
:I will note that these both originally pointed to Feminist views on transgender topics; edits by a new editor such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gender_critical&diff=1110345369&oldid=1080195770 this] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gender_critical&diff=1110345415&oldid=1110345377 this] have boldly retargeted Gender critical to TERF. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 23:43, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Not going to lie, this is going to be a tricky one. There are many who believe that gender critical is an attempt at sanitisation or whitewashing of the term TERF, in the same way that race realist was an attempt to whitewash racism. There are also those who believe that TERF refers to a smaller subset of people who are typically espousing anti-trans sentiments, those who are specifically also radical feminists. At this time, my only preference is that both redirects should target the same article, though I do have a slight preference for one over the other. Sideswipe9th (talk) 23:58, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- :given that the person who boldly retargeted gender critical has now been blocked for being a VOA, might it be wise to close this and reset everything? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:01, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- ::Having opened this it would probably be better to do it as a speedy retarget rather than a revert, even though the outcome is the same. I don't object to you doing that but someone else implementing it would be slightly preferable. Thryduulf (talk) 00:07, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- {{ec|2}} Retarget to :Feminist views on transgender topics#Gender critical feminism/trans-exclusionary radical feminism as that has the greater coverage of the term and TERF says {{tpq|Those called TERFs often reject the label, and instead describe their beliefs as gender critical}}, which would result a circular link if targetted there which is not helpful for anyone, especially when the content intending to be linked to does exist. The space/hyphen difference seems to roughly correlate with usage of the term as a noun or adjective, but the meaning is the same in either case so they should definitely lead to the same target.
