Hi, Josephyr!

I hope you're doing well! This is a friendly request for an explanation of your recent reversion of Help:Poem to a redirect to Help:Contents. Here is what I can see, and why I am seeking to understand your reasoning:
 * 1) The extension "Poem" exists and is implemented in some (or many?) Wikia communities, including my own.
 * 2) I sought to learn how to use the extension "Poem" from Community Central Help, which was the highest search result when I googled my question.
 * 3) The Help:Extensions page lists "Poem" as a Wikia extension, with a link to the help page for it:  Help:Poem.
 * 4) The Help:Poem page, which I clicked on to learn more about using the extension, had been replaced with a redirect to Help:Contents over five-and-a-half years ago.
 * 5) The redirect destination of Help:Contents does not provide any information related to the "Poem" extension.  Using the "Search Help" box, the returned results are:
 * 6) * Help:Extensions (the page that refers to the help for "Poem"); and
 * 7) * Help:Contents (the page that does not actually provide help for "Poem").
 * 8) The redirect destination of Help:Contents is therefore not a useful redirect.
 * 9) I restored the Help:Poem page to its previous non-redirect version, because that version provided help on using the "Poem" extension, as an average reader might expect.
 * 10) You reverted the Help:Poem page to the unuseful redirect.

That is the situation as I understand it. Currently, the status of the page Help:Poem is not meeting the need of its existence. Would you please consider reviewing your reversion of my restoration? Any feedback or alternative perspective you might offer would also be appreciated and welcomed.


 * Thank you,
