: I was just inserting links with the right spelling into an article on the german hitchwiki. Since they didn't work and the german thing links to the english articles for german motorways, I thought I'd just fix the whole issue. It is not only the official spelling for the german "Autobahn"s, it's also really logical to have the space at least after our spelling rules. I didn't and still don't see the harm of the moves because we still have redirects to cover those who type it without the space...--[[User:Speckmade|Speckmade]] 13:31, 3 February 2012 (CET)
::Let me understand this, to correct something on the German wiki you start moving all the pages on the English one? Sheesh, that's really good for consistency on the English one where George has been setting up these pages for weeks. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 15:59, 3 February 2012 (CET)
::: I guess the cleanest way to do this is having redirects for any motorway. I think it's always a good idea to have many redirects to cover anything a visitor could type into the searchbox, or an editor could type into a link. Let me know if you want to move/create/edit/delete a lot of articles after a certain pattern at once. There are ways to automate this.
:::: Anyway, it's nice ask on talk pages before doing mass edits. There are always some very active people around here who read the RecentChanges, so there will usually be some opinions or at least responses very quick. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 18:09, 3 February 2012 (CET)
