If the redirect you're referring to is {{fakelink|Gloam Valley Folk}} (if not, could you specify?), then it simply isn't a good idea to keep it around. For one, it would promote creating a comparable redirect for every location throughout SPM, which is completely unnecessary. Having [[Flipside Folk]] and [[Flopside Folk]] as redirects is fair, since both of those names make up the name we're currently using, but Yold Town Folk is unnecessary. Also, having one conjectural name does not mean we should propagate more conjectural names. Ideally, we should look for an official name, but if one can't be found, we should stick to one succinct name. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:05, 4 July 2016 (EDT)

I advise refraining from moving files unless the file name is really bad, which is against [[MarioWiki:Image Use Policy|Image Use Policy]]. Most file names are fine anyways. If you do move, you have to modify each page that references the file by its old name and tag the redirect the move leaves behind with {{tem|delete}}. If you can't edit a page referencing a file, either don't move the file to begin with or ask a sysop for assistance. This next thing is a pet peeve of mine but I hate to see [[Special:WantedFiles]] become even more useless than it already is. Other editors don't see the value in that special maintenance page but I do. Its primary function for usefulness should be obvious but its secondary function could be used for finding broken file references through editing mistakes. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 02:31, 21 July 2016 (EDT)
