Template:Navbox/Subreddits, created by User:Pinky G Rocket, separates subreddits into "fannish", "non-fannish", and "fandom-specific", do we want do a similar sorting here (either by messing with default sort or creating subcategories)? -- Quaelegit (talk) 00:47, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

/r/ vs r/

I think these articles should be renamed without the leading slash. Subreddits show up as "r/Name" on Reddit and that's how I usually see them referred on other sites. --sparc 18:34, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

I think this would be a great change--creating a wikilink to a subreddit page doesn't work unless you create a redirect from r/Name anyway. See r/AO3 vs. /r/AO3.--aethel (talk) 21:04, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
Very late, but I third this opinion. I've been making redlinks to r/TotalDrama, not /r/TotalDrama because the link breaks in visual editing mode, which most users use nowadays. (Mass rename request? Requesting gardeners' input.) --Cavewomania (talk) 18:01, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Also agree! I think I made a few of the pages, but I regret starting them "/r/", it's more common for fans to call it "r/", even Wikipedia names them this way. Fixes the link issue too! --Fitz (talk) 09:44, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Documenting seven more votes in favor from the Fanlore discord server (and one vote in favor of keeping the "/r/" convention). Too tired tonight but since it seems overwhelmingly preferred, I'll start going through and renaming pages soon. -- Quaelegit (talk) 08:32, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

I've moved all of the pages in the subreddit category to have r/ names and fixed all the double redirects. There might still be some references in the article bodies in the format /r/ if anyone wants to check those. Removing gardener's flag now this discussion has wrapped up! - Castille (talk) 03:36, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
