:Well, at least now there's a canonically official spelling. I recommend moving it to the correct article name, but you may need to delete a redirect page that occupies that space first. This may cause history to get messy, so be careful. Contact Joe if you're unsure (like me). --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 09:16, 5 January 2006 (EST) | :Well, at least now there's a canonically official spelling.

::You should find a second source. I wouldn't trust a DVD booklet as far as I could throw it. --[[User: | ::You should find a second source. I wouldn't trust a DVD booklet as far as I could throw it. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 13:45, 5 January 2006 (EST) | ||
:::Good idea. There are a LOT of instances of Serena, so I'm going to hate to have to change them. I'll check the credits of Saga of a Star World and Lost Planet of the Gods before I do anything. I may post screenshots as evidence (then we can delete them after everybody is satisfied).--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:14, 5 January 2006 (EST) | :::Good idea.

I was about to make a redirect from "Serena" to this page (I had typed in "Serena" and gotten the "page does not exist" notice, then I searched for "Serena" and found this page), but the log says that Joe deleted it already as an "unused redirect". How can one tell if a redirect is used or not, and why should one care? -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 21:16, 30 April 2008 (UTC) | I was about to make a redirect from "Serena" to this page (I had typed in "Serena" and gotten the "page does not exist" notice, then I searched for "Serena" and found this page), but the log says that Joe deleted it already as an "unused redirect".

:Rule of thumb: If it's a spelling error you think others are likely to make, it merits a redirect. Since you actually committed that error, and since "Serena" is a common first name (peaked at 209th most popular in 2000), while "Serina" is not (peaked at 959th in 1998), I'd say go for it. --[[User: | :Rule of thumb: If it's a spelling error you think others are likely to make, it merits a redirect.

::Indeed, it's the most common way that fans spell it, even though it's a letter off. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 22:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC) | ::Indeed, it's the most common way that fans spell it, even though it's a letter off. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 22:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC) | ||
: Well, I restored it now. It's not only a common spelling error amongst fans, it is also the spelling used in some of the old novelizations. As for the question, I can check on the server what links are visited... but as to why I cared, I'm not sure, because redirects are dirt cheap. As April said, if its a common spelling error, make a redirect. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 23:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC) | : Well, I restored it now.
