Addiction
Right now, addiction, addict, addicts, addicted, addictive, addicting, junkie, and junkies all redirect here, but I think it may be worthwhile if someone, someday, starts a page specifically for addiction. If, when that day comes, these other words I just listed can then be re-redirected there. Cheers, allixpeeke (talk) 03:43, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
