Hi everyone, I added a duplicate to the “Suggested Topics to Delete” but I want to grab your attention that on the short list of the requested articles on the Photobucket there are 3 (three!) duplicates. I have a question - on the “Suggested Topics to Delete” list should I mention that there are MORE THAN ONE duplicates or it will be caught by the admin? I am attaching an image of the requested articles on Photobucket oif the 3 duplicates… hope you can open and view it:

I’m actually going through lists and can only do keywords, so I can keep Photobucket in mind when searching for duplicates. If a person is not an admin or booster, they can simply click on the “Write” link on the left hand side and choose the best match/exact same title from the list. Click on the “bubble” on the left hand side of the title to propose a redirect. Suggestions then go to a page so that admins/boosters can review.
@Maluniu
, How to propose a redirect? Type ‘redirect’ surrounded by brackets in Edit? Please advice.

You can also list potential duplicates here - http://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:Suggested-Topics-to-Delete
Don’t create redirects if you don’t know 100% of the two titles match
@Maluniu
I have done and not once:
These are the 2 different issues … #1
. How to treat the duplicates on the Requested list, which I already know how to do, #2
. How to treat a requested article that ALREADY exists on wikiHow and requires redirecting to the existing article with the same topic and name. I was talking about #2
issue. For example, a requested article is “Open gmail account” … the already existing article " Create gmail account". It seems the same to me. In this case, like you recommend, I can SUGGEST a Redirect.
