Working direct link replaced by redirect

Another editor insists of replacing a working direct link by a redirect. This is completely superfluous and does not help our readers at all. He seems to do this in the - IMHO - mistaken believe that piping is bad and that redirects are better. The Banner talk 13:39, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I created the link as a piped link on 21 Aug 2023 while making a more substantial edit. I used the spelling "Redmaids' School" found in the source. The following day I noticed a page error in a reference, and while correcting it, also corrected the name of the school to "The Red Maids' School", which is its standard form, and depiped the link, in accordance with MOS:NOPIPE. You seem to have followed me here from my edit history, and made a number of disruptive edits without understanding the situation, ignoring the advice given in WP:NOTBROKEN. Please stop doing that.
