Why? Better for whom? I personally can't stand
searching for a term
and being redirected to a general article on the topic of which two
sentences vaguely half addresses what I'm looking for. I'd much rather
have a two-sentence stub that precisely addresses what I'm looking
for, even if it's only to point me back to the main article
afterwards.
Yes. I'm wondering if the people frantically consolidating stubs are
thinking of convenience for the reader actually looking for that thing
at all.
