Seems there is a difference between "Bare Metal" and "Bare Machine".
I'm not sure what you did, but when you go to that Wikipedia article, it redirects to "Bare Machine", and the article contents is about "Bare Machine". Clicking the link you have sends you to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bare_machine
So it seems like you almost intentionally shared the article that redirects, instead of linking to the proper page?
I indeed deliberately pasted a link that shows what happens when you try to go to the Wikipedia page for "bare metal".
Right, slightly misleading though, as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bare-metal_server is a separate page.
Yes, but if you look up "bare metal" it goes to the page about actual bare metal (aka "bare machines" or whatever).
Can we stop this now? Please?
> Yes, but if you look up "bare metal" it goes to the page about actual bare metal (or bare machines or whatever).
Fix it then, if you think it's incorrect. Otherwise, link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bare_metal_(disambiguation) like any normal and charitable commentator would do.
> Can we stop this now? Please?
Sure, feel free to stop at any point you want to.
There is nothing that needs fixing? Both my link and yours give the same "primary" definition for "bare metal". Which is not unequivocally the correct definition, but it's the one I and the person I was replying to favour.
I thought my link made the point a bit better. I think maybe you've misunderstood something about how Wikipedia works, or about what I'm saying, or something. Which is OK, but maybe you could try to be a bit more polite about it? Or charitable, to use your own word?
Edit: In case this part isn't obvious, Wikipedia redirects are managed by Wikipedia editors, just like the rest of Wikipedia. Where the redirect goes is as much an indication of the collective will of Wikipedia editors as eg. a disambiguation page. I don't decide where a request for the "bare metal" page goes, that's Wikipedia.
Edit2: Unless you're suggesting I edited the redirect page? The redirect looks to have been created in 2013, and hasn't been changed since.
