Talk:Jade Scarab

Shouldn't "Jade Scarabs" redirect to this page, so those who don't know you have to put the "s" outside the brackets don't end up sending people to a non existant page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.116.14.86 (talk • contribs) at 12:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC).

First, sign please. Second, if every creature page had a redirect to it that was just the same name made plural, do you know how many that would be? I don't even want to know. It's much easier for those who don't know to have their edits corrected by someone who does, as has happened with your edit. --Chaiyo Kaldor talk contribs 18:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

What a remarkably nasty reply. 02:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC)02:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC)02:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC)67.101.144.244

Why thank you. Here, let me demonstrate, as I did make the above statement a bit vague. If you make a link like Siege Wurms, you get a broken link and someone needs to make a redirect. However, if you just type Siege Wurms, it points to the right place, everybody's happy that it looks right, and a lot of things work more smoothly, like the "What links here" feature; there are similar coding problems when that's done for other things, like salvage on item pages. Anyway, someone else made the redirect page anyway, so that resolved itself. Or rather, that was resolved by others. Though it's not like I said "Take your edits and get off the internet," I really should have put the coding stuff in at first. Wait, I didn't actually apologize yet, so here we go: sorry, I could've said "If you need any help with the coding, just ask those who know." Happy? --Chaiyo Kaldor talk contribs 14:16, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Well wouldn't it help if the plurals did redirect for people searching ingame? — ク Eloc 貢 19:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Fine, I'll go along with this Devil's Advocate line. Here, let me look through Special:Wanted Pages just to see if this is really widespread... well, I did fix a few things, but here's the report on the current issue: the first wanted plural error was Scrimmages, which I almost made a double redirect, at a whopping two links, and then Screens Shots at the same number, which is also a spacing error; Ancient Skales, a one-linker; (notably, there are ten wanted Russian templates) Gate of Madness, one. I don't really want to go on. How about, if one happens to search for the plural, and finds it an understandable mistake, one may either create a redirect page or, lacking the knowledge thereof, ask someone else to help out. Also, when editing, maybe people could use the Preview button. --Chaiyo Kaldor talk contribs 14:44, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
