I made less then 100 new redirects with my normal account just for test purposes, until I was blocked. I think is usefull to have redirects pages of this kind, especialy for macedonian users, they will easily find the right articles.

Note:I've unblocked your main account now, since you've resolved the problem by stopping the trial editing. —Soap— 01:55, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I hope I didn't destroy anything.--Brest (talk) 02:06, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is the English Wikipedia. Is there any consensus at all that we need redirects from foreign language titles for topics such as "25 Април" to "April 25"? Anomie ⚔ 03:31, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think really it has been discussed at all, but WP:CSD does make mention that "redirects in other languages [are generally useful]" (R3). But that is by no means a statement that they should be made, only a disqualifier for speedy deletion. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 04:50, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
