Just happened across this page. Seems like it should redirect to 511, as everything that might go on a 511A page is already on the 511 page. I see that Peter has gone back and forth on this, but I'll vote for the simple redirect, if only for simplicity and consistency. Jim Adney, Madison, WI (talk) 18:15, 16 March 2024 (PDT)Jim Adney
- The instrument macro on this page is needed because otherwise we have no reference to the 511A.
- Please leave this in place (you will find the same situation for a number of other instruments).
- In some cases the previous redirect page later becomes a page in its own right, e.g. AM503A.
- Actually, earlier versions of MediaWiki silently redirected you to the 511 but since the last upgrade it seems that on pages with a redirect plus some content, like here, it no longer does that.

Sorry, but I don't see your point. The only content on this (511A) page is a photo of a 511, which is also shown on the 511 page. So everything here is redundant, plus if someone searched for 511A and came to this page, they would miss all the 511A info that's already, and appropriately, on the 511 page. If someone comes up with lots of 511A info that they want to add to this page later on, there's nothing to prevent that. --Jim Adney
- Ah - thanks Peter - that might explain something I spotted a few weeks ago. The 564 page includes info for the 564B but there's a separate page... I was wondering when I saw it if things were just in flux and the some other edit might come along...
- If I understand correctly, we want the separate pages to help populate the references... Which references, exactly?
- I'll search my edits as I seem to remember that I tried to demonstrate how useful the wiki is to someone and the model I searched for didn't show up in the search! I remember fixing that scenario for that model, but don't remember which it was :-) Qfissler (talk) 10:06, 30 April 2024 (PDT)
