:::I wish you'd checked the "What Links Here" before you made this frankly major change, [[user:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]]. There are so many links to [[Game of Rassilon]]-as-redirect-to-[[Help:Game of Rassilon]] that the system can't display even a good fraction of them. There are also links in the javascript. Every single page displays a link to [[Game of Rassilon]]-as-[[Help:Game of Rassilon]]. | |||
:::I left behind adequate notes explaining the rationale for this change, but maybe it would help o explain the state of [[Game of Rassilon]] when I repurposed it a year ago. It redirected to [[Death Zone]], and had done for four years, since its creation. There were zero link to it at the time. No one seemed interested in it, probably because Terrance Dicks never defined the damned thing with any clarity. | |||
:::In any event, the server load required to fix these tens of thousands of links is immense. So I've restored Game of Rassilon as a redirect. There are two avenues open to us going forward. We could just make [[The Game of Rassilon]] the page about the DWU concept. Yeah, that's an additional article, and we don't like doing that, but this is a special case. Or we could just have a sidebar at [[Help:Game of Rassilon]] which gives what's known about the in-universe concept. It could pull double duty as it were. That, too, is an unusual solution, but what we know about the Game is so little, we could easily accommodate it at the help page. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 05:31: Thu 06 Sep 2012</span> | |||
