The result of the move request was: moved. per Option 2. Since there is consensus that [document] redaction is the primary topic, Redact will redirect to Redaction, which will have a hatnote to the dab. (non-admin closure) Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 18:24, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Redact should be moved to Redaction or Redaction (disambiguation) per WP:NOUN. The primary topic/common name for "redaction" and related articles should be reassessed. I see a few possible directions here, which I have outlined as:

Option 1: No primary topic

Option 2: Document redaction is primary topic

Option 3: Redaction is primary topic, amend Redact

Option 4: No change Wracking talk! 01:58, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some dictionaries list "document redaction" as the primary definition.[1][2][3] Collins provides a less specific description,[4] but its auto-selected examples are largely related to document redaction.[5][6] Oxford via Google defines it as "the process of editing text for publication" with sub-definitions of "the censoring or obscuring of part of a text for legal or security purposes" and "a version of a text, such as a new edition or an abridged version", in that order.[7] I believe that document redaction is the more common use of the term.
WhatLinksHere for Redaction has incorrect links (intended to be pointing to Document redaction), indicating confusion with the current naming. Wracking talk! 02:39, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
