Followed tag redirect?

Question

Is it possible that a redirect could be added from  http://www.wikitree.com/genealogists/DISASTERS to http://www.wikitree.com/genealogists/WORLDWIDE_DISASTERS ?

Answer 1

Hi John,

I added a redirect.

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks Chris, but it doesn't seem to be working. The disasters tag still leads to disasters rather than worldwide_disasters.

Hi John,

Sorry, I'm not understanding. If you click on the link on http://www.wikitree.com/genealogists/DISASTERS it will go to the project page. It redirects.

The request I was asked to see if could be done was for the "followed tags" on our individual profile pages. It was pointed out that Worldwide_Disasters is the proper name of the project and that if some people used just "Disasters" while others used the proper title when tagging G2G posts, some messages would not get to one or the other group.

Perhaps, a solution might be to merge http://www.wikitree.com/genealogists/DISASTERS into http://www.wikitree.com/genealogists/WORLDWIDE_DISASTERS.  

Then people working on the Worldwide Disasters project would see notification on G2G posts tagged with either the tag disasters, worldwide_disasters, or worldwide disasters.

Answer 2

Since we can each follow only 20 tags or surnames, and each G2G item can display only six tags, it's desirable to standardize the tags for any given topic.

The Worldwide Disasters project has identified "disasters" as the tag to follow. Accordingly, it would be a good idea for the two people who are following "worldwide_disasters" but not also "disasters" to add the "disasters" tag to their list of followed tags. (Do this via this link.)
