=== A side note ===
The reason we use template to a redirect, is too allow multiple templates have the same link to a shortcut-redirect, rather than have multiple redirects to the same page. This helps cut down on unneeded shortcuts, as well as allow loosen spelling requirements for shortcut templates.
 
As an example. Take the Shortcut {{LW:FANON}}. This shortcut redirects to [[Lylat Wiki:Canon, Non-Canon and Fanon]]. We'd prefer people to use {{tl|LW:FANON}}, as the that's what the top of the page specifies, but rather than require them to remember it's all caps, we also have the templates {{tl|LW:fanon}} and {{tl|LW:Fanon}} that render the same thing. At the same time, we don't see 3 different styles of capitalization around the wiki, all pointing to the same thing when it's not needed nor wanted.

: A community page is a page where the community can come together and discuss... pretty much anything. {{LW:Corneria}} is the center for all discussions, and {{LW:CP}} is the page to know what's going on with the community. Go to those pages to see if you qualify, and ask around if you aren't sure.
