Oi!  For all those redirects you're messing with... can you mark 'em as "minor"?  It's clogging up the "Recent changes" page something fierce. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 17:15, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Why did you remove the discussion on [[Goblinite]]? While goblinite has its own page (to the [[Talk:Goblinite|talk page]] of which you didn't paste the removed comments) I find that discussion (relatively) relevant for the [[DF2010:Goblin]] page. Instead, I think it would have made sense to add a concluding comment that the goblinite page has been created. --[[User:Nahno|Nahno]] 15:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

So basically, those double redirects were all VERY intentional. For a practical reason too. Consider the redirect chain Wrestling -> cv:Wrestling -> cv:Combat skill. This is definitely one of the ones you've changed. As it stands in that chain, if someone decided to create a "Wrestling" article, all they'd have to do is change the page contents of cv:Wrestling from a redirect to a normal page. You might be thinking that it's a silly reason, because it only saves one edit. But that's not true, take a look at [http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php?title=Wrestle&redirect=no wrestle], and hopefully you'll see what I mean. I'm going to try to roll back as many of them as I can, but I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look through.

::Well, that's a couple hundred changes undone for nothing, then. I would have undone the double redirects by hand. -AH
 
:::Sadly, it was the fastest way we could figure out to restore them.  I'll be going through later and restoring the good edits once I have a chance. Sorry about all this mess! :( --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 23:59, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Creature Templates ==
 
Please don't change the <nowiki>{{creatures}}</nowiki> template links, I know they are still showing creatures that don't exist in 40d, etc... but the way you're doing it isn't the best way, I had meant to change up the creature template earlier, but I guess I'll do it now.

:<shrug> Well, not any more they aren't, except for the demons - I was pretty much going through and re-doing the changes undone when all the double redirects were restored. -AH
 
::We undid those ones as well because we don't want <nowiki>{{40d creatures}}</nowiki> we want <nowiki>{{creatures}}</nowiki>. And the previous reason for adding 40d is no longer there, as I changed the way the creatures template works. Expect another mass undo of changes.

Regarding DF2010 Talk:Goblin‎[edit]

Why did you remove the discussion on Goblinite? While goblinite has its own page (to the talk page of which you didn't paste the removed comments) I find that discussion (relatively) relevant for the DF2010:Goblin page. Instead, I think it would have made sense to add a concluding comment that the goblinite page has been created. --Nahno 15:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Honestly, I thought the issue had pretty much been resolved with the creation of the goblinite page and it was no longer relevant. Feel free to roll it back if you disagree. -- Ancient History 21:45, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
