Talk:Chat

Topic:Chat
The redirection of Chat to Community Central Chat Guidelines clobbers the Topic:Chat feature in the "List of common Forum topics" shown on Special:Forum. Example, Thread:1332483 ("I need a chatbot"&#x202f;) could get Topic:Chat, but when I try to edit the topics for this thread the Forum-software does not support it, because the current redirection isn't as it should be. – Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  13:53, October 28, 2017 (UTC)

Similar issue, CSS does not (more) end up on Topic:CSS, i.e., that forum topic cannot be added to forum threads like CSS Code for Infobox anymore. IIRC Copyright also does not work directly as topic, but as it was never redirected to Topic:Copyright I miss at least one clue. Otherwise those "technically required forum topic redirections" could be collected in a category, where folks are less tempted to clobber it as nonsense. – Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  01:22, November 14, 2017 (UTC)

Why do you want to redirect it to forums? Most of the posts are from a year prior with the most recent at 3 months. Suffice to day, no one checks those forums. The current redirect target page is sufficient and leads to the actual chat. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  01:18, November 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * Same idea as on Talk:Categories, Talk:CSS, and Community Central talk:Forum Topics: Without the redirects some magic in "edit topics" does not work; I cannot add Topic:Categories, Topic:Chat, or Topic:CSS to forum posts. If these topics are not more used since somebody broke the required redirect it's not "only me".&#x202f;;-) – Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  06:27, November 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * [[Image:X_mark.svg|15px]] Not Done: The redirect is very useful for new users who are looking for how to chat. The existing redirect is more important than a redirect to the forum topic. noreplyz  talk 01:15, November 26, 2017 (UTC)
