Rory Thor: pipe or redirect?

@Catb2006: Noting that you have changed [[Rory Thor]] to [[Thor Chuan Leong|Rory Thor]] in this article. Personally, I prefer the former rather than the latter, since the redirect works fine, and it's less typing. Also, I have a database which I use to update century breaks etc. which means that, for this single player, I've had to make an exception to the formulas used. I think that we have used [[Rory Thor]] in all previous articles. I would like some other opinions on this, maybe from Lee Vilenski and Nigej. Pipe or redirect?

See WP:NOTBROKEN for reasons for and against "fixing" redirects. Perhaps we need to look at the naming conventions on the target page if that is the name they now go by. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:40, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Lee Vilenski. WP:NOTBROKEN is very clear on this, saying "Piping links solely to avoid redirects is generally a time-wasting exercise that can actually be detrimental." So I think we should go back to using Rory Thor in this article. Alan (talk) 10:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
