A "squircle" is a specific (and relatively obscure) shape, and generally isn't what people mean when referring to a "rounded rectangle". Page also doesn't include any information about non-square shapes.
The only thing which links to Rounded Rectangle is Wikipedia:Coverage_of_Mathworld_topics/R.

- Restore previous target to Superellipse, which was the original target of this redirect (and is a more precise target than the current one). The current target was placed by an IP in 2007, without any proper explanation, and it should've been reverted back then. CycloneYoris talk! 00:20, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Per WP:REDLINK. It could be fitting for an article, see [https://mathworld.wolfram.com/RoundedRectangle.html]. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:47, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- Revert to superellipse per CycloneYoris -- this is a rounded rectangle, not a rounded square, which is the topic of the current target Squircle -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 01:35, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I will note that the rounded rectangle is a toolbox primitive for the original Macintosh operating system, when it originally launched, to create the stereotypical Apple onscreen buttons that weren't the beveled rectangles of other operating systems GUIs; and has since now appeared in drawing/graphics programs everywhere. So marking this {{tl|R with possibilities}} is possible. -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 01:35, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jay 💬 14:57, 19 May 2023 (UTC) - Retarget per CycloneYoris. Current target is too specific; it would be like redirecting "rectangle" to "square" if the former didn't already have an article. Superellipse is a broader topic and also covers shapes that aren't rounded rectangles, but it has relevant information. Tag as {{tl|r from related topic}} (or {{tl|r from subtopic}}) and {{tl|r with possibilities}}. – Scyrme (talk) 15:16, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Create stub where it can be mentioned of its use in computer drawings (Photoshop, Macintosh). It can include rounded corners / bevelling designs, stadium (geometry), squircles, ellipses, squared circle and so on. The shape is used everywhere as from a search for the term.

- :Without a volunteer author, this isn't a viable suggestion. Do you have a second preference? – Scyrme (talk) 17:49, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- ::Someone can't write a simple paragraph, perhaps paraphrasing or quoting from Wolfram MathWorld: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/RoundedRectangle.html#:~:text=A%20rounded%20rectangle%20is%20the,The%20rounded%20rectangle%20has%20perimeter I'd redirect to Squared circle disambiguation then. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 23:48, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- :::I don't think redirecting to squared circle would work. Disambiguation pages are only meant to cover minor variations like capitalisation or singular/plural. "Rounded rectangle" is a completely different title; they aren't even really synonyms.
- :::Why not retarget to the original target, superellipse? A rounded rectangle is a type of superellipse and the page mentions such rectangular patterns. – Scyrme (talk) 00:26, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
