Chicago redirects to Chicago, Illinois

Since Chicago is just a redirect to Chicago, Illinois, it seemed pointless to pipe the user to Chicago when clicking on Chicago, Illinois. slambo 13:54, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

It used to be the opposite until two days ago. Not sure why, there doesn't seem to be consensus either way at Talk:Chicago, Illinois. JYolkowski // talk 17:29, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

That would explain the large number of "fixing Chicago link" messages in my watchlist two days ago. The so-called fix didn't seem to fix anything, but changed the displayed text from either Chicago, Illinois or Chicago, IL to just Chicago. The other editor didn't even use the pipe trick to keep the displayed text unchanged. Since the standard name format for pages about American cities is "City, State", and the other formats redirect to it, I didn't see much of a reason not to restore the original versions and bypass the redirects to Chicago, Illinois. slambo 17:58, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
