Sad face

Per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 August 26#Wikipedia:(, the sad face shortcut WP:( now redirects here rather than Wikipedia:Vandalism. A link to the latter page has been added onto this project page to cater for readers who may be using the shortcut for the "sad face" meaning. Der yck C. 09:34, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Spinningspark, Steel1943, and Rich Farmbrough: WP:( has been redirected to Wikipedia:Vandalism since 2006 and has survived 2 RfDs. I would rather not remove this sentimental value from Wikipedia altogether. Der yck C. 10:06, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I stand by what I said in my edit summary removing it, the link is completely tenuous. Nobody in their right mind is going to type that thinking they might get WP:Vandalism. SpinningSpark 13:27, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are 24 links to WP:( - removing the hat-note makes them WP:EASTER EGGS. There are precisely zero links to this dab page that are unrelated to WP:(. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 14:23, 26 October 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Actually WP:) redirects to WP:Silly things. So there are many Wikipedians who think that way... Der yck C. 21:19, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
