This is a brief essay that sets out some repeatable logic for dealing with redirect pages that contain obvious typos. Hopefully this will make redirect conversations go more smoothly than the subjective "is a plausible typo/is not a plausible typo" pure judgment.

Even though this is little more than personal musings and so by no means a rule, it should still be read in context with ignore all rules: no practice will be appropriate 100% of the time.

This also takes into account how the search box works and is designed to get the user to the target article as quickly as possible.

Single word typo titles

Multiple word titles with initial typo

Not obvious typos
