The VW up! is not a concept car. It's a German series vehicles. It startet in January 2008 at the official dealers. --AlexanderFPbusse 10:38, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I am copying the following discussion on the use of redirect links from the http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard/User_problems page:

Some help needed: I would be grateful if an administrator could check out and provide some help concerning this issue: There are three rebadged car models (Volkswagen up! - SEAT Mii - Škoda Citigo) all rebadges that are being built together in the same plant and making part of the same car company project according to the relevant Wikipedia article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Group_New_Small_Family ). Each one is (properly) classified in Wikimedia commons seperately under its own category ( Volkswagen up![[1]], SEAT Mii [[2]] and Škoda Citigo [[3]] ).

I was wondering if this is the case where redirect links

See also: Category:SEAT Mii.

should be added to those categories, the same way it happens to other Wikimedia commons categories with rebadged car models (if examples of redirect links already applied in Wikimedia commons categories for rebadged car models are needed, I would be glad to provide plenty).

It seems we are having a disagreement with the User:Alofok where he constantly erases the redirect links I have added in those three categories. I have no problem to step back if I am wrong, however I am confident that the use of redirect links is justified in this case. I would appreciate it if you could you check this out. Thanks in advance(LeonCR (talk) 21:03, 6 December 2011 (UTC))[reply]

I think you have the right idea. Rather than adding a simple redirect, I might say at Category:Volkswagen_up!:
and similarly at the other two. (Note that "badged" is more familiar to British English speakers than American English speakers so I would choose "sold as" here, but I don't feel strongly about it.)
