When to use redirects

Daniel, I do not agree with your "there is no harm" in being generous with redirects.

I hope you can accept my formulations asking to be cautious when using redirects to use.

I see what you mean and agree with most of it. Have edited accordingly. --Daniel Mietchen 19:58, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Lemmas

Daniel, I don't see what is gained by the examples of "Lemma article with redirect functionality." I just don't see the redirect functionality. Am I missing something? Russell D. Jones 18:19, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

A written redirect rather than an auto redirect? Chris Day 19:42, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

It is not a redirect in the classical sense but it re-directs attention to the existing cluster (in the example case, Haber process), though after clarifying that Haber-Bosch process does not have entirely the same meaning. I am open for better examples where two meanings are close enough to be linked by redirects but distinct enough to merit turning the redirect into a lemma that links to the former redirect target. --Daniel Mietchen 21:40, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
