Core Principles

• Necessity Principle: Redirects should only be created when there is a reasonable expectation of search demand.
• Simplicity Principle: Use the shortest effective path to achieve the redirect.
• Safety Principle: High-risk redirect chains are prohibited.
• Stability Principle: Established redirects must not be arbitrarily changed.

Applicable Scenarios

• Officially Recognized Aliases (must meet at least one of the following):
  • Informal names publicly used by the developer.
  • Nicknames mentioned ≥3 times in live streams.
  • Abbreviations with ≥80% community consensus (validated via voting).
• Technical Adjustments：
  • Common spelling errors (error rate ≥15%).
  • Variants involving punctuation (e.g., "Neuro-sama" vs. "Neuro_sama").
  • Case variations (excluding proper nouns).
• Cross-Language Coordination：
  • Main article titles in other language versions.
  • Official translations based on international copyright.
  • Unicode-standard character mappings.

Technical Standards

• Hard Redirects：

• Soft Redirects：
  • This does not currently apply to this site.
• Prohibited Types：
  • Double redirects.
  • Circular redirects (more than 3 levels of redirection).
  • Redirects to blacklisted keywords.

Violation Handling

• Moderate Violations：
  • Suspend redirect creation privileges (7-30 days).
• Severe or repeated violations：
  • Permanent global ban.

Special Cases
