Talk:ModulE

This is a very old page from the CamelCase days that may have external links to it.

Why would this be Camel Case instead of just a typo? I'm not familiar with a mathematical concept, or any concept, called "Modul E". -- User:Waltpohl

You can tell by looking at the edit history of Module. It dates from before MediaWiki had free links, so it was impossible to create a page titled simply Module.

More to the point, as far as I'm concerned - are we really responsible for such external links (for all time)? Charles Matthews 21:39, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Yes, of course! They are harmless, and any possibility of an external link to an old title requires us to maintain that link. This is just good Internet practice. In this case, the chance of an external link is low -- but wasting our time deleting these things is terrible policy, a policy that Wikipedia has rejected since its founding. -- Toby Bartels 19:34, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
