Tolkien Gateway > Forums > Redirecting secondary names


It was agreed at the 7 August 2011 meeting (indeed this was also agreed at the 3 July 2011 meeting but no action was taken) that we should conduct this discussion here. Should we have one article per concept, redirecting all secondary names to one article? Or should we continue to have many articles for the same concept, and, if so, what guidelines should be in place? -- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  14:47, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

+1 to redirecting. We might have sections dealing to specific names (for example, Strider and Thorongil on Aragorn's page). If it's just the name in another language, we should redirect to the best known name (arbitrary, I know). --Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 15:42, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
