Adding additional code to gun page links

I appreciate the work you are doing, but what you are doing is redundant. We created page re-directs in order to simplify coding. So if a person typee [[Norinco Type 56]], for example, they will automatically be taken to the Norinco Type 56 section of the AK-47 page even if they don't bother to write out [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]]. Just thought I'd tell you so that you don't waste too much time. -MT2008 10:42, 30 June 2011 (CDT)

I explained to you that your cleanup is redundant. There are re-directs for all of the links that you supposedly "cleaned", which obviates the need for the additional code. It isn't a "problem", but I'm trying to save you from doing unnecessary work. I mean, you don't want to waste your time on something unnecessary, right? -MT2008 18:12, 30 June 2011 (CDT)

I would add that it certainly isn't necessary to edit each sub-heading individually, and could be seen as spamming the recent changes page with a needlessly large number of edits to each page. I imagine that's what MT2008 is objecting to primarily. Evil Tim 19:17, 30 June 2011 (CDT)

Instead of fixing every single weapon hyperlink, you may want to put your efforts towards making sure the redirects go to the specific firearm (e.g. Making sure "AKM" redirect goes directly to the AKM weapon on the AK-47 page. --Ben41 21:04, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

REDIRECTS

If you type in Smith & Wesson Model 629 in the Search Box, you are already redirected to the exact spot. You will see right below the Smith & Wesson Model 29 banner there's a "redirected from Smith & Wesson Model 629" link. If you click on that link you see the redirect code on the page. Therefore you don't have to write the redirect code on whatever page already has the Smith & Wesson Model 629 hyperlink.

If you're going to try and correct any more links, I would first click on the hyperlink to see if there's already a redirect. --Ben41 20:54, 7 July 2011 (CDT)
