There has to be some sort of notability line we draw when it comes to making redirects. Otherwise you can use that "redirects are never useless" argument to justify all sorts of names like Mayro Kratt and Luggy. Who actually calls Mario Kart Double Dash by its numerical order on the franchise? Common sense is applied here, and I don't see the rationale for making numerical redirects convincing and they do not establish what sort of line we draw on redirects. Rather, it just seems this proposal is just "create redirects because we can". {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:51, May 9, 2019 (EDT) | There has to be some sort of notability line we draw when it comes to making redirects.

:It's all a matter of "Oh, I wonder what the fourth Mario Kart is...I'll just try typing in 'Mario Kart 4' and see what I get". Not everyone is going to have the immediate urge to type in "Mario Kart (series)" to see what the fourth Mario Kart was. Why take them to the search page when we already know what they want? It's inconveniencing our readers on purpose, which is counterproductive to our goal as a wiki. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 19:08, May 9, 2019 (EDT) | :It's all a matter of "Oh, I wonder what the fourth Mario Kart is...I'll just try typing in 'Mario Kart 4' and see what I get".

It's inconveniencing our readers on purpose, which is counterproductive to our goal as a wiki. And also, we don't have "Mayro Kratt" or "Luggy" because they're deemed too silly to be any use. That's entirely irrelevant to this. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 19:08, May 9, 2019 (EDT) | ||
