→Redirects
We can fix up this user story with a redirect. By making "book seller" redirect to "bookseller", we can plant users exactly where they expect to be with 0 friction. Perhaps we could call these type of redirects "search redirects", which have the explicit goal of saving the user time or preventing a second click and/or a second google search. Unfortunately, I know that such "search redirects" will show up in the MediaWiki admin tools as "orphaned pages" that don't link anywhere else, which will make them show up alongside other legitimate pages that do need to be deleted. However, I think that search redirects provide so much value that they should be excepted. Please consider this request. --[[User:Zamiel|Zamiel]] ([[User talk:Zamiel|talk]]) 10:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

: Hi, to your specific mention of "Bookseller" - the word ''does'' exist in English; it is a noun that is defined as the proprietor of a bookstore or one who sells books. (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/bookseller) ConcernedApe did NOT make a typo or grammatical error.
So, while redirects might be useful in some circumstances, for this one, it is moot. [[User:Rogue.toast|Rogue.toast]] ([[User talk:Rogue.toast|talk]]) 21:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
