Line 10: :Hi [[User:Paine Ellsworth\|Paine]], I have been trying to stay away from the recent module discussions, particularly the move requests, and I'm not sure I can answer your questions intelligently. Hopefully at some point I will be able to deal with these issues more easily, but to me it seems like changing module setups through [[WP:RM]] or [[WP:RFD]] is asking for trouble. I think the RFC at [[Wikipedia talk:Templates for discussion]] may clean up some of the process issues and put editors who are technically proficient with the modules in charge of future changes. [[User:Dekimasu\|Dekimasu]]<small>[[User talk:Dekimasu\|よ!]]</small> 04:19, 22 March 2019 (UTC) : {{ping\|Paine Ellsworth}} It's a hard redirect in that {{mlx\|Rail\|...}} is equivalent to {{mlx\|Adjacent stations\|...}}. The only way in which it is not a redirect is that actually viewing [[Module:Rail]] doesn't get redirected, making this work in much the same way as a template redirect that is nominated at RfD. [[User:Pppery\|{{3x\|p}}ery]] ([[User talk:Pppery\|talk]]) 17:27, 24 March 2019 (UTC) ::We have two views: [[User:Pppery\|yours]] is that [[:Module:Rail]] behaves as a hard redirect when invoked, and [[User:Johnuniq\|Johnuniq]]'s is that it's technically not possible to redirect to a module, and rightly means that to "put some very small code at the 'redirect' page which executes the target module and returns its table" is different by definition from #[[WP:REDIRECT\|REDIRECT]]. This all seems to me to mean that while this module is not by definition a redirect, it does behave as one by "calling" [[:Module:Adjacent stations]] when it's invoked. Has this been tested? Maybe if we ask [[User:Ythlev\|Ythlev]], who set out to improve ''Module:Adjacent stations'' by creating this module? And if testing has shown or will show that this is or is not an "effective" and useful "redirect", what then? Where do we go from there?
