Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes.

Hello, Batagur baska,

I had to rollback a lot of your edits because you created 64 broken redirect articles that would have otherwise been deleted. For some reason, you redirected existing articles and pointed them all at non-existent pages. This created broken redirects and those pages are deleted by an admin or on of our bots. If you want to redirect an article, please don't make mass changes and also ALWAYS point them towards an existing target article, not to a blank page. While we are encouraged to "Be Bold", this kind of mass mistake can result in valid pages being mistakenly deleted so please don't rush through projects like this without checking your work. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:14, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Liz. My apologies. I am redirecting a large number of permanent stubs to help WP:CRIC. I was going to create the target lists next, but I had to break off because something urgent came up. I should be able to finish the task tomorrow. In future, I'll create the targets first. Sorry again for inconvenience caused. Batagur baska (talk) 19:33, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Just so you can see what happened, here is a link to what I saw. By the way, I think it's okay to redirect articles, just point them towards existing pages. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:42, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

I see what you mean. These bots do a good job. Well, I learned something today. Thanks, Liz. Batagur baska (talk) 19:53, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
