:I would think so.  We'll see this happen a lot at the beginning but I imagine we'll expand on these type of redirect with time.  Note that in Related Atricles subpages supernova can exist with its own unique definition and it will be identified as a redirect due to the purple link.  See dexample below using the {{tl|r}} template:

I'm not sure about redirecting supernova here. Isn't there enough distinct information about this particular type of nova for a separate article? --Larry Sanger 14:28, 8 May 2008 (CDT)

I would think so. We'll see this happen a lot at the beginning but I imagine we'll expand on these type of redirect with time. Note that in Related Atricles subpages supernova can exist with its own unique definition and it will be identified as a redirect due to the purple link. See example below using the {{r}} template (and thanks for making it better):
  • Supernova [r]: An astronomical object exploding to a brightness similar to that of an entire galaxy. Caused by a catastrophic explosion of either a white dwarf system or an aged star about five times the size of the sun, which occurs when the star collapses; a neutron star or a black hole may be formed as a result, or the explosion results in no remaining compact object.

Hopefully this distinct color will attract peoples attention to the fact that this article needs to be started when users browse the related articles subpages. Chris Day 14:38, 8 May 2008 (CDT)
