I believe that the redirecting article [[Actinaria]] should be deleted and that only [[Actiniaria]] should be present in WP.
Hi, Animalparty:
Some years ago you created the redirecting article Actinaria, ending in "-naria" instead of "-niaria". I believe that it is a typo, given that in WoRMS the name of the order is Actiniara and that "Actinaria" does not even exist as a synonym: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1360 .
If you agree, could you delete Actinaria so that the only redirecting page remains the already present Actiniaria? This is to avoid promoting the use of Actinaria in the future. I have already searched all the uses of Actinaria in WP, and replaced them with Actiniaria, to simplify your work, if you agree to delete it.
Thanks.

:{{reply|Pmronchi}} Yes, it is typo, but it is widespread typo, and so is kept to help readers and web searchers find the intended article. Redirects from widely used typos are typically kept, per WP:RPURPOSE and WP:RFD#KEEP. While "Actiniaria" is the correct spelling, the emendation "Actinaria" occurs widely, including in scientific literature, text books, and other scholarly sources, both historic and modern (e.g. [https://archive.org/details/pgreports08canauoft/mode/2up?q=%22Actinaria%22][https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/9781119569831.ch4][https://doi.org/10.21805/bzn.v68i3.a14][https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.97.26.14091][https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/cnidaria/actinaria.html]). I have added {{tl|R from misspelling}} to Actinaria so that people who click or link to it will know to update the link. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 04:24, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
