While never directly stated in our MoS, we used to abolish links to redirects from page content, opting to link to pages they were redirecting to directly. In retrospect, this was a bit silly. I just had to modify 4 articles pointing to [Jockington](https://deltarune.wiki/w/Jockington)’s section on [Hometown/NPCs](https://deltarune.wiki/w/Hometown/NPCs) to point to his new article instead.

I suggest we follow [WP:NOPIPE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NOPIPE) instead, so that we avoid problems when suddenly characters become important enough to spin into their own articles, and have cleaner wikitext.

I think that’s probably a good idea. Especially for an ongoing series like Deltarune, where subjects that currently do not have pages are likely to be split to separate pages in the future, I think it makes sense to link to redirects whenever there’s a possibility of future expansion.
