Note We need to avoid redirects from the Main Page as per WP:MPNOREDIRECT. I count a total of five redirects from the various hooks. Please fix those. Schwede 66 04:41, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed these, I think. AdoTang (talk) 01:59, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well done! Thank you. Schwede 66 09:47, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - New enough, long enough. Hook short enough and sourced (as is every paragraph), although for me ALT0 is the most interesting. No neutrality problems found, no maintenance templates found, no copyright problems found, though Earwig flags a couple of false positives. QPQ done. Good to go.--Laun chba ller 21:12, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
