Two points:
Since when did redirects become so complicated? I've always just redirected things indiscriminately. Does this mean that mainspace articles should all reside in the longest or best phonetically sounding version of their name, not necessarily the most popular or common one.B137 (talk)02:59, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
{{R from move}} automatically to redirects created by moves.){{R from short name}} also exists; there is not a definite preference for either "short" or "long" names. Generally,WP:Article titles and its associated subpages should be considered more authoritative than the wording of any particular redirect template, but feel free to discuss any discrepancies on the relevant talk pages. --SoledadKabocha (talk)06:20, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply] | Thisedit request has been answered.

Please change "name of a person, organization, legislative act, etc" to "title of the target article" or "topic's name". No need to go into details, and itprimes the reader to expect an article from one of the example article types.Paradoctor (talk)17:06, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Template:R from long name →Template:R from longer titleTemplate:R from longer title – Making the proposed target the main template would better match the bolded text of the template itself ("From a longer title:") helping make our redirect system make more sense. Our redirect and category naming schemes are tangled messes that are confusing to new users. Each time we make a template's name more closely and accurately match what it does or says we help unknot that mess. This is one minor step in the right direction whose drawbacks (page history complication) are worth the benefit to editors.Jason Quinn (talk)05:28, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
