Stormtrooper

if nothing links to the Stormtrooper page then why create a page simply for a redirect?

A number of reasons, chiefly so you can type "stormtrooper" in the search window and actually find it instead of scrolling through 200 articles which reference stormtroopers. I also recently took on a wiki project for my employer so got all sorts of training in best practices, templating, etc so was looking to bring that here. TheRiov (talk)

im going to delete the Stormtrooper redirect page. my main reason being that when i do a search for "Stormtrooper" the top 5 results are: Stormtrooper Armor, Stormtrooper Scout, Stormtrooper X’s Modified Stormtrooper Helmet, Stormtrooper One, & Stormtrooper Two Blaster Rifle. the Typical Imperial Stormtrooper page is #8 on the list and Stormtrooper is #13 of 14 results for page title matches. i feel that extra redirects and empty pages will just bog down the system and add extra confusion.
