See if you can tell the difference in these two links by just looking at them, and not mousing over it or looking at the source

I prefer the second. -132.183.138.192 16:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

If you do, then you cheated. — MichaelXX2 16:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

You said don't mouse over them or look at the source. You didn't say don't click on them, where the "(Redirected from Donuts)" in the first is apparent. -132.183.138.192 16:34, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, in order to click on it, you have to mouse over it. — MichaelXX2 16:36, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, technically, I guess. But I always interpret "mouse over" as "hold the mouse over something long enough to read the alt text or destination address" rather than just "put the mouse on it."

They're the same as far as appearance. And your point is...? Heimstern Läufer 16:59, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

My point is that DeFender said that pipes are ugly and clunky, and you said that they look exactly the same and both point to the same page. As far as this shows, they're almost exactly the same. — MichaelXX2 17:06, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

That's true, they are. I think it's generally pointless to switch between redirects and pipes (and if either is clunky, I'd argue it's the redirect, since you get that "redirected from..." message when you get there). But neither one is a big deal. Heimstern Läufer 17:09, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
