  • Should Redirection Page be Skipped for Links to Wikipedia Articles?

    What say you? I think they should, since nobody on Wikipedia is making money on people reading the articles.

      Sounds like a good idea. Wikipedia is full of interesting articles, this could be a way to find articles I otherwise would not have found. But is it doable?

        I think following that logic you could argue for a wide range of exemptions.

          Redirection page is stupid. Throw rocks at it.

                We could start by skipping the redirect page for accessing certain other parts of Apolyton. I cannot pinpoint what parts they are, but every so often I get the damned thing when following links within this site itself.

                        the destination site making or not making money from it's visitors has nothing to do with the existance of the redirection page
