== Term inconsistency and common sense redirects ==

I've noticed in some places the term "farm maps" is used and in other places the term "farm layouts" (which is more accurate, is descriptive of what a user finds, since the layouts are not maps). A redirect I created from "Farms" (to accommodate for the term choice) to Farm Maps was deleted. To my knowledge, there is only one map in the game and the wiki pages are usually based on game terms. There is an actual map tab in user settings, with some way-finding markings/labels on it--that to me is a map. I added the redirect because as a new user, I'd never search "Farm Maps" for different farms or farm  ''layouts''. As a new user, I tend to think it would be nice to help other new users with some common sense terms (the deletion of this redirect did not make good sense). Does anyone go through the server logs regularly to determine which terms are most searched for (not including autocomplete results) that don't have pages and/or redirects, in order to help new users and create them? This would probably be very helpful and is fairly common. To be fair, it may be difficult for experienced wiki users already familiar with existing page titles, to be impartial as to what a new user would consider to be a helpful or needed redirect. In my opinion, that’s why fresh eyes can be helpful sometimes. Perhaps you won't agree though, and that's fine.

Does anyone go through the server logs regularly to determine which terms are most searched for (not including autocomplete partial results) that don't have pages and/or redirects, in order to help new users, and use this to create those redirects supported by some access log data?
