Question: Is there a way to remove thread redirects? It creates a copy of the moved thread and takes up space, and I am leaning towards wanting to remove them in the Headline News. But if they have an expiration date, I guess I'm fine with it.

The Helper:
If you move a thread please leave a permanent redirect. You can delete any redirects after 6 months. The redirects are left to help Search Engines find the moved content. -

I think that works but I have not messed with it. You can delete redirects though if you have to that will not delete the original thread
-
The Helper:
if a redirect ends up in the same forum as the post it goes to though I think the redirect drops or fails or something but they are not bugged out and when you are working on an indirect the original post is safe.

I found out you can't delete nor hide redirect links to existing threads. It will just stay there. I have no choice now but to start moving thread redirects to News Archive.

The Helper:
That is not the way that it works for me I can delete redirects you just have to hit refresh sometimes big deletes will take a while as long as moves\

The Helper:
You don't have to do that you can just leave stuff there in headline news for up to a year it was already down to like 8 months there is no rush.

We need to do something about the Headline News forum now that Ghan got the News script to work on the forums. We need an Other category really now more than we need a headline news forum full of redirects

The Helper:
so much for the redirects I think they are useless anyway because posts urls are set and the redirects were just extra if something is indexed by the search engine it still will be without the redirect since the original url does not change
-
I was wondering if it'd be best to consolidate all of the Headline News threads into 1 place, and then let the users click on navigation links that would show/hide threads based on their thread flairs? Splitting the Headline News up like this would mean the only way to see all of the news is to go to the Home page and check there.
