No to the redirect because it will compromise the operation of templates
- Can you elaborate? Almost all categories under Category:Examples are named differently. Note that I am not debating the name of Amicable Pair/Examples itself. Just the category. — Lord_Farin (talk) 15:08, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- On page e.g. 220, the template
{{NumberPageLink}}
is invoked, which does all the work of "previous" and "next" in the context of interesting integer sequences. It automatically puts the number into Category:Amicable Pairs/Examples, or whatever category, depending on what thecat
parameter is set to.

- We could of course change the name of the category invoked to Category:Examples of Amicable Pairs but that would be a heap of work which at the moment I'm looking at with a rising feeling of dismay.
- Hence (at least at the moment) I'm not on board with the suggestion of changing it. Sorry, but that's my take on the matter. --prime mover (talk) 17:20, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- I see and understand. The 500+ links for NumberPages are not really inviting to me either. — Lord_Farin (talk) 19:04, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- To be fair, most of those would be automatically amended if the template were changed, but it would mean changing the name of all categories of the form Category:Amicable Pairs/Examples to Category:Examples of Amicable Pairs and so on. Not as onerous as changing every single reference from every single number page, but tedious all the same. --prime mover (talk) 20:18, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
