Update[edit]
{{Edit request}} To get rid of the cross namespace redirect at Help Desk, please update this interface message by moving
to
I chose an indirect link to make it possible to view how many users went to the Help desk from Special:UploadWizard. -- Docu at 11:42, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- BTW Commons:Help desk (from UploadWizard) should be protected to avoid the problem we had with Help Desk (the link was dead for a couple of days). -- Docu at 11:44, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Is "(from UploadWizard)" needed? – Kwj2772 (msg) 06:26, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- It allows http://stats.grok.se/commons.m/201107/Commons:Help_desk_%28from_UploadWizard%29
- to work, similar to http://stats.grok.se/commons.m/201107/Help_Desk
- now. -- Docu at 06:58, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Not done, I don't see a reason, why we would need to track where the people came from. I updated the page to point directly to the Help desk. Regards, -- ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 15:11, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- What is the disadvantage if we do it? -- Docu at 17:23, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yet another unneccessary redirect. I also dislike it from an ideology standpoint, if we are tracking our visitors for no particular reason. It's not like we could use that information to help them in any way. Continuing this idea, we could create redirects from every other major site (COM:HD (from Village pump), COM:HD (from Admin noticeboard), COM:HD (from Deletion requests)). I highly discourage such redirects and don't see why we should start here. -- ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 18:44, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- If it's an ideological thing for you, please just leave this for someone else to do. Redirects are cheap. -- Docu at 20:32, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. -- Docu at 20:32, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- I already declined this request. If you want this decision overturned, get more input on VP or AN, but don't simply re-request. Regards, -- ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 21:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
