Edits to links

Hi. I've noticed that many of your edits are to avoid redirects, that is, change a link that goes to a redirect to a page to go directly to the page. In general, that's not necessary to do. We have a guideline about this at WP:NOTBROKEN ↗. Your edits can stand, as it's no more useful to put them back than it was to make them, but no more such edits are needed. Thanks. --A D Monroe III (talk) 19:40, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

:Um, you are still doing this. You should read our Wikipedia guideline that covers this at WP:NOTBROKEN ↗. I'm including a notable part of it here:

::{{tq|There is usually nothing wrong with linking to redirects to articles. Some editors are tempted, upon finding a link to a redirect page, to bypass the redirect and point the link directly at the target page. While there are a limited number of cases where this is beneficial, there is otherwise no good reason to pipe links solely to avoid redirects. Doing so is generally an unhelpful, time-wasting exercise that can actually be detrimental.}}

:Please stop changing links that go to redirects. You are doing other edits that are constructive; just concentrate on those. Thank you. --A D Monroe III (talk) 17:02, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Edits to Taliban

Hey Heart of Destruction, I just wanted to let you know that in the future it would be a good idea to use unique edit summaries when doing a chain of edits as you did at Taliban ↗.

List of NCIS characters ↗

FYI, I added an {{tl|anchor}} template to the Ducky Mallard section so all common names should now link to the section, so you don't have to change the links anymore when the section heading is renamed.

:The same applies to Jimmy Palmer. Please stop changing the links manually in all articles, a simple {{tl|anchor}} template in the target article or a changed redirect can solve this more elegantly. I have done so now ↗, all links to Jimmy Palmer ↗ should work again.

What's going on with Honest Trailers?

Hi Heart of Destruction, I remember that you used to post the titles of the new episodes before they went online, which makes me think that you are a Screen Junkies insider (or employee). What is the matter with the episode that was supposed to go online yesterday (Tuesday, 2 June)... why isn't it up, and why have the Screen Junkies not posted anything since 26 May? I hope everybody is healthy and everything is fine. --Edelseider (talk) 14:34, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Regarding the edits of Aaron Saucedo and William Husel

Thank you for fixing my grave mistakes! I can't believe the stuff I do, sometimes; seems like I always need someone to overlook it. Hoping you can help me in time with a trials section on the Husel page. Great work, and keep it up.

Editor experience invitation

Hi Heart of Destruction. I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. <span style="color:darkorchid">Clovermoss</span><span style="color:green">🍀</span> (talk) 14:32, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Help request

@Heart of Destruction. Its me, Nelson. About Jessie Hoffman Jr. ↗, could you help me find from the locked archived news sources about Hoffman's case updates in the 1990s, like from newspapers.com? I could not subscribe to the website and might ask for your help, though I am not sure if you have a subscription (I asked a couple of editors I knew but their subscriptions expired). By the way, thanks for the time you linked my works to other articles and made some edits and corrections in them. NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 12:07, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Requested moves that involve nonexistent or occupied base names

Hello, Heart of Destruction,

I noticed that, a couple times, you have opened requested moves ↗ (RMs) that propose moving disambiguated articles to base titles, particularly when said base title doesn't exist (e.g.: Title (qualifier) → Title) with a rationale such as "Wikipedia does not have any other articles titled X, why disambiguate it?" These situations are often uncontroversial and usually do not require discussion.

Since you are autoconfirmed ↗ (meaning your account is over 4 days old and you have made more than 10 edits), you should be able to move pages yourself. If you see a disambiguated article with the base title being unoccupied or misplaced, I encourage you to be '''bold''' ↗ and move it there immediately, rather than opening an RM. If you can't, submit a technical request at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests ↗.

Thank you for all the work you do here, and happy editing! <span style="color:cyan; background-color:navy;">1isall</span> (talk | contribs ↗) 21:57, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
