Redundancies are undesirable in encyclopedias, as they

  • Are confusing to the reader.

Redundancies characterize

First step: identify redundancies

Typical cases of redundancies include:

  • Text copy, so-called C & P ( copy & paste ). The text was then frequently been altered by third authors: Wheelchair - standard wheelchair
  • Alexiuslied - Vie de Saint Alexis
  • Gelakkumulator - lead-acid battery
  • Bremen Theatre - Theatre at the Goethe Square
  • Density anomaly - Characteristics of water - water anomaly

Second step: Recognized redundancy feature

If you on a couple (or more) hit redundant articles, trying to improve it yourself. If you like this (eg, lack of expertise ) is not possible, you should all the articles concerned with the redundancy module mark and additionally report on the current redundancy page:

It is in all the items concerned the exact same command, like so:

Or somewhat clearer:

{ {subst: Redundancy | 1 = First Item | 2 = Second Article | ... | 8 = eight articles }} ↑ This text block is required in the next step again. It makes sense to copy you look at the text before saving to the clipboard. ↑ from The third and subsequent items are optional ( can be omitted so if there are only two items overlap ). Third step: entry on the redundancy discussion page

After saving, you go to the redundancy discussion, scroll to the current date, is there the same block from the clipboard - ie, in the form { {subst: Redundancy | ... }} - again and supplements including a justification.

Step Four (optional): Entry in the quality assurance

Eliminate redundancies

Forward

Simple duplications are solved by a redirect from shorter - worse - recent article (A) is established on the better (B). It should lose no information; minor additions to text, lists, tables, literature, References must be copied from ( A) to ( B) if necessary. If longer text passages need to be migrated, see below, Section incorporation.

Example: Standard wheelchair

If desired or necessary, can be moved in connection to (A ) Item (B). To this end, you probably have to ask the help of a Admin. When completely useless Lemma one can also make a (quick ) deletion request.

"See also " or " Feature"

If both articles are justified as such each and reasonably structured and detailed, it may be sufficient to note the review article on specialty items. The use of templates { { main article }} or { { See also }} is recommended.

Example: Ostfriesland

Wlan is what horny!

Incorporate

Longer text passages from articles (A ) can be rearranged sometimes simply as a section referred to in Article (B). More often, however, a complete processing of the text in terms of style and content is necessary.

Example: Gelakkumulator

Exchange

Occasionally you can find in a review article more information than in a short special article. Here, the redundancy can be most easily resolved by the fact that the texts between the items to be exchanged.

Example: Theater Bremen

Again, the compliance of the license conditions is particularly important, specifically, to model { { }} contents taken by naming the Alt- authors in both articles, for example. A detailed description of the template can be found on the submission page.

Other

Another important method is content that will be discussed in several articles, outsource and merge under a new lemma. In the article thus produced then the originally redundant items can refer to. Again, the compliance of the license conditions is particularly important, specifically to model { { }} contents taken by naming the Alt- authors of all articles, for example. A detailed description of the template can be found on the submission page.

Unjustified setting

If you think no actual redundancy consist of articles, so write it on the appropriate redundancy talk page.

When the processing is complete, the discussion must be closed and all redundancy markings shall be repealed. If you 're not sure whether the case is finally disposed of, write a short note about your changes into the discussion.

If the case settles for you safe, so remove the blocks from the articles, write a short explanation in the discussion, check again with the below checklist, if nothing has been forgotten, and add the following template at the end of the discussion:

After seven days, the discussion will be moved automatically by SpBot the archive. The archives go to redundancy category archive.
