Revision as of 11:36, 9 May 2015

This page doesn't show up in a search for "normal map", I don't think articles like this should be plural; Normal Maps should redirect to Normal Map. Throttlekitty (talk) 14:41, 7 August 2014 (EDT)


Fixed it.
  1. "Normal map" was auto redirecting to "Normal Maps" for some reason, so I had to click on the "redirected from Normal map" link at top.
  2. Then I edited that redirect to point to Normal Map. Which fixed the problem.
  3. I deleted "Normal map", now a search goes right to Normal Map where the content is.
  4. Then I moved "Normal Map" to "Normal map".
