Hi Carl! :)
I noticed that you redirected Knowledge Base/en to Knowledge Base. I'm curious: Are there external sites/applications pointing to the wiki which require a /en subpage to redirect to the English one? Since it's not current practice to create these (see Project:Languages). Just non-English pages use these redirects atm. Can you elaborate on this?
Cheers,

- Hi Zai,
- Upon looking through how the navbar on our various web properties links to the Knowledge Base, it occurred to me that it might be linking to http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Knowledge_Base/<language code> in select places, due to its ignorance of the fact that en is the default language. My redirect was done to avoid any unpleasant links to Knowledge_Base/en if that was happening.
- Is there a specific reason why this is not part of the Language project plan? I can see no reason why a redirect from en to the base page would be detrimental, except for the case of multiple URLs for the same page. (But that's what 301 redirects are for). Carl Linden 23:53, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
