Forum:Mistranslations as Redirects

Alright, based on the discussion at Talk:Peeker, we need a forum and poll about whether or not we should create redirects for mistranslations used by scanlators. In addition to the case of Peeker (Pica), Mangapanda also just screwed up Kyros as "Curos" in today's chapter (739).

Personally, I am of the mindset that these redirects don't harm anything, and that when translators make these mistakes (particularly the first group out), the errors do not disappear from the various websites people use to read One Piece. I would say that if you can find it on a popular website, all mistranslations should be redirects. 17:29, February 26, 2014 (UTC)

If we can find it on a popular website, we should use it as a redirect? Then we're going to get bogged down in "what's a popular website". Redirects aren't really a big thing unless it's a commonly used name. Here's my suggestion. If, for example, Mangapanda (or some other big site) insists on using one translation instead of the version we have here, then yes, we use it as a redirect. If a translation is a one time mistake and they change it back the next week, then I don't think we need the redirect.

That makes sense since we won't have too many redirects that way. The rule could be something like "if the error is found more than once, it requires a redirect". 21:13, February 26, 2014 (UTC)

What about if the error is used once, but it's the first time the character (or place) is mentioned? Like Green Pit, for example. 04:22, February 27, 2014 (UTC)
