Emily Windsnap and her Wikipedia redirects[edit]

This page partly fits Emily Windsnap, a children's fantasy series and its main character; partly The Tail of Emily Windsnap, the first book of that series.

Search 'Emily Windsnap' now hits three itemsː

  1. The Tail of Emily Windsnap [Q7767892] [this item]
  2. Emily Windsnap and the Monster of the Deep [Q5372432]
  3. Emily Windsnap and the City of Mist [Q5372431]

The other two clearly fit the second and third books of the series (among 5 or 6 books now in print) and they link English Wikipedia pages with fitting names. But those EN.wiki pages are redirects to ːenːEmily Windsnap, which is the only related article at EN.wiki and is nominally about the fiction series and its main character (same name), not the first book. This item links that article rather than the first book redirect ːenːThe Tail of Emily Windsnap, as the other two items are linked.

UserːGymel explained to me elsewhere, as I understandː Sitelinks to Wikipedia redirects, such as our 'enwiki' links for those second and third books in this series, are not part of the design yet. Probably they result from EN.wiki conversion of target articles to redirects; we do not create them manually.

The link from this item, nominally the first book, to EN.wiki article on the series and its main character probably results from EN.wiki move of the target article.

In fact, yes, EN.wiki articles on the three books were merged 2013-09-04 --executed by move of the first book [1], conversion of the second and third.

The question remains, whether and how the statements for this item should be revised. --P64 (talk) 17:59, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I created the new item Emily Windsnap Q24030816, "series of fantasy novels for children; also its lead character", with a few statements about the book series.
I moved from this page to that new page both the ^official website^ statement and the link to EN.wiki, so that all remaining statements pertain to the first book The Tail of the Emily Windsnap (and perhaps to the series also).
This page does not link the corresponding EN.wiki redirect, as the pages for its first two sequels do. --P64 (talk) 19:04, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
