All done in NIF... thanks for the heads-up, I totally forgot about that! Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:34, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It seems this is just an old redir? Is the URL correct? Maury Markowitz (talk) 18:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ohhh, if you mean "mirror" as in "redir", yes, there is a place to go. Google up "redirects for discussion" and post a link there. There's instructions at the top, it's pretty straightforward. Maury Markowitz (talk) 18:25, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to delete redirects giving alternate capitalisations. They are helpful in searching and do not constitute a forked article, they redirect to the same place. Spinning Spark 08:17, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, the redir page with lower case (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_ignition_facility) does not show recent edits and is causing confusion. Understand it may not be best to delete this but per Wiki redirect guidelines (#7) how about redirecting this page to the correct one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Ignition_Facility)? That way it stays in the memory but redirects users to the correct page.JacksIrving (talk) 21:42, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what you think the problem is. That is exactly what happens already, National ignition facility is a redirect to the National Ignition Facility page (and always has been since the day it was created). Spinning Spark 22:41, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand that's what's supposed to happen, but it's inconsistent. For example, when I go on the redir page with Chrome and Firefox, Maury's last two edits do not show up in the article although his comments regarding the same edits are visible in the discussion section. This also happens sometimes with Internet Explorer. Maybe a browser issue? Try it and let me know what happens.JacksIrving (talk) 01:04, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is almost certainly a browser issue with the browser retrieving a cached page instead of a new download. Try clearing your cache. Spinning Spark 06:41, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This case sounds unlikely to be a browser issue. It's probably a caching issue in Wikipedia's own servers. I have added a new reply at Wikipedia:Help desk#Problem with Redir Page. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:14, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's been fixed and no further problem. Thanks very much for your help. JacksIrving (talk) 20:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
