What that means is not that we can never undo those redirects, but rather that we have to be consistent. Google and our visitors need to be able to trust that they'll find what they expect on Fandom, and that the same link doesn't take them to one page one day and to a different one the next, and then changes again on the third. We need to either redirect all file pages on a wiki or none, not mix and match.

We can't constantly reshuffle where pages redirect to. That would be chaotic, confusing, and a warning sign to both Google and visitors. That's why pages that are currently redirecting for this test need to keep doing it until we either make this a permanent change everywhere or the test ends unsuccessfully and we remove all redirects.
