* I was wondering about redirects. I understand not over using them~ but when is it actually preferred to use them? One example is that I'm running into a few issues between the old and new, like "Blind the Thief" vs "Blind" and "Eastern Palace" vs "Eastern Temple" etc. (Armos Knights vs Armos Knight) and I wanted to know what was preferable to the staff- in general. ''(Also, what is the proper format/code for them on this wiki?)'' | * I was wondering about redirects. I understand not over using them~ but when is it actually preferred to use them?

:The important thing about redirects is that they shouldn't be linked to. They're simply there to aid in searching. It's simple enough to just bypass the redirect and link straight to the target page. Those examples you bring up are difficult and should probably be brought up on their talk pages. Though with your Armos Knight example, article titles are always singular, unless the article refers to a specific group that wouldn't make sense to split up (e.g. the Fused Shadows). If you have plural text and want to link to a singular title, the syntax <nowiki>[[Armos Knight]]s</nowiki> will automatically include the 's' in the link but link to the correct article title. This only works with a plain 's' though, not apostrophe-s or 'ies' - those would have to use the pipe option (e.g. <nowiki>[[Fairy|Fairies]]</nowiki>) | |||
:To create a redirect, make a page with its content: '''<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Destination Article]]</nowiki>'''. {{User:Locke/sig}} 22:27, June 18, 2012 (CDT) | |||
* Is there a preferred way you guys want pages for A)Dungeon. B) Character. C) Item. pages to look and be organized? I don't mean just the template for the info boxes, I mean the WHOLE page. Just being linked to the epitome of what you imagine perfection would be is all I think I would need ;3 | * Is there a preferred way you guys want pages for A)Dungeon. B) Character.

:I don't think we've quite gotten so far as to set a standard for those. Generally we divide them by game. [[Deku Baba]] would be a good page to look at. If you have any ideas of your own though, feel free to try them out at this point. Right now I'm focusing more on standardizing main game pages. {{User:Locke/sig}} 22:27, June 18, 2012 (CDT) | |||
* Characters: In LttP there are a ton of minor characters that don't seem to need individual pages, like shop-keeps that barely even speak and are, in almost all ways, un-notable. Would you rather me give each one it's own page, or should I possibly group them so (let's say) all the game operators are on one page, all the merchants are on another, etc. (Also, would this be appropriate for redirects, or maybe the 3rd option: grouping them appropriately but making individual pages that just have the most basic of info and link to the more robust page) | * Characters: In LttP there are a ton of minor characters that don't seem to need individual pages, like shop-keeps that barely even speak and are, in almost all ways, un-notable.

:Hmmmm... I'd say skip them for now. If you don't want to, then go a head and use your own discretion. {{User:Locke/sig}} 22:27, June 18, 2012 (CDT) | |||
