ROBTv[edit]

It is already mentioned 3 times throughoput the article,. That little phrase cannot be there forever, all other channels that have rebranded have removed that little phrase. Enough time has passed that it can be removed. Case in point. The TV Guide Channel, it was formally named Prevue Channel, it does not say in the first sentence that it was named that. It mentions it throught the article. It cannot stay forever, at some point it just becomes redundant. 72.142.251.81 00:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"That little phrase cannot be there forever" Why not? It was ROBTv for 11 years. Many readers will be redirecting here when looking for info on ROBTv and should be told yup front that they are in the right place. Ground Zero | t 02:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia Manual of Style directs us to include the former name: see Wikipedia:Redirect#What_needs_to_be_done_on_pages_that_are_targets_of_redirects.3F, which says:

We follow the "principle of least astonishment" — after following a redirect, the reader's first question is likely to be: "hang on ... I wanted to read about this. Why has the link taken me to that?". Make it clear to the reader that they have arrived in the right place.
Normally, we try to make sure that all "inbound redirects" are mentioned in the first couple of paragraphs of the article. For example:
  • James Tiptree, Jr. (August 24, 1915 – May 19, 1987) was the pen name of American science fiction author Alice Bradley Sheldon ...
    • James Tiptree, Jr., redirect from Alice Sheldon
  • Water (H2O, HOH) is the most abundant molecule ...
    • Water (molecule), redirect from H2O

I think this is clear. Ground Zero | t 03:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
