Hi all, When discovering a redlink, which is better: to leave it as a redlink, or redirect it to the "closest" topic? Eg, a redlink to the name of a book - best to leave it that way, or create it as a redirect to the book's author? Or, create a substub "X is a book by [[Author]]"?
I say only redirect to an article if the article already contains some kind of substantial content about the subject the redirect is about. So if the author's page actually discusses the book in question go ahead and redirect, but if it doesn't then IMO it will only lead to confusion and frustration on the part of the reader.
