@ [[User:Sanityormadness|Sanityormadness]] - Thank you for the image! I'll put it up in the article. As far as the redirect, I just wanted to cover any permutation for the search. | @ [[User:Sanityormadness|Sanityormadness]] - Thank you for the image! I'll put it up in the article.

I'll also create a redirect for "Shield Surf", now that I'm looking at the image... | |||

::As mentioned in the edit summary, resources are ''irrelevant''...this is a matter of validity. The redirect literally does nothing. You will still find the article regardless of whether it exists or not. I actually do this for a living and actively involved with the development of MediaWiki, please don't take this personally. | |||
::Just as a proof of concept we'll use [[Anti-Fairy]] as an example. You can put "anti-fairy" or "anti-Fairy" and it will find it and there is no redirect. | |||
::Redirects created solely for the purpose of case are useless and unnecessary...because they don't do anything. '''Shield Surf''' is actually helpful though, because it aids in search. --[[User:Charitwo|Charitwo]] ([[User talk:Charitwo|talk]]) 16:39, March 7, 2021 (UTC) | |||
::Addendum, I missed part of the conversation, a couple more items to address: | |||
::#Underscores are purely cosmetic, it's the DNS compliant version of a space. In a wiki article you should generally avoid using them because it's not aesthetic. [[Shield Surfing]] or [[Shield_Surfing]] is the same thing to Mediawiki for example. | |||
::#Hyphen has '''no''' bearing on search capability. | |||

:I agree with Charitwo. Most of your search algorithms are not affected by capitalization or tokens such as underscores or hyphens. [[User:TheDoctor8910|TheDoctor8910]] ([[User talk:TheDoctor8910|talk]]) 16:56, March 7, 2021 (UTC) | |||
