Why
the ____ are you making pages that are unlinked and redirect them to something I didnt even knew existed? Besides, they'd be "Build:D/E Obsidian Dervish" >.< --- -- (s)talkpage 17:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Removing it from Special:wantedpages. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 17:56, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * ahem. That page isnt even linked, at all! --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 17:58, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Its in Special:Wantedpages. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 17:58, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ohai, some stuff on wantedpages isn't to do with builds? Lord of all tyria 18:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I wasnt looking, yeah, I'll check from now on. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It would be better to remove the links in the first place, rather than create a misleading redirect. We don't link to redirects, remember? Please stop creating those redirects. It's just more stuff for Dr. ishmael to delete later. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * And why is it misleading, may I ask? These are builds, minus the build: namespace. Its a waste of wantedpages, and this is a far more practical way imo. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, this is a way to boost your mainspace edit count. Fix the links to point directly to the build wipe notice; this lazy method is essentially just spam, and is creating more future work. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * My eyes hurt. You're redirecting to a redirect, yes? o.O And Felix, forcing him/her to fix the links means even more edit count >.< Jamster 18:11, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, actually Felix. I've pretty much given up any hope of anything Editcount related. This is just somthing that can make Special:Wantedpages useful again. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:12, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The point is that redirects are BAD. Quit it. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Give me a reason. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've already given you a reason. It's stupid to have links to redirects; red links show up to tell you that they're broken, not so you can create a redirect to make things look nice. Go remove the links. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:16, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thats the point, it ISNT a link to a redirect: Builds wipe isn't a redirect. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Missing the point? There are now X amounts of links changing from being broken to linking to a redirect. Changing the other links to go straight to the builds wipe page is better, if more time consuming. Lord of all tyria 18:19, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You're not thinking. Why do pages show up in Special:Wantedpages? BECAUSE THERE ARE LINKS TO THEM. Those links now point to needless redirects! [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * as I said, this is by far the most practical approach to it. We could possibly add a dissmissable message to the top of the builds wipe saying somthing like "If you have been redirected here, it is probably because all mainspace builds have been removed from GuildWiki". &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I understand what you're missgetting- When the cache clears (at about 20:35 gmt), all pages that are now blue-linked will be removed from that. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:23, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) And as I said, what you said is wrong. This is called a disagreement; sometimes people don't automatically think the same things as you. Ideally one of us will either be persuaded or give up. Are you ready for Warwick vs. GuildWiki round two? 18:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Stop trying to antagonise me, Felix. Thats patronism, asshattery and antagonism. Explain your reasoning. In what point am I wrong? &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've already explained it twice. I won't bother doing it again. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Evidently your explination is lacking in somthing.. Perhaps existance? &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * In general, editors of the wiki are discouraged from linking to redirects, and by merely going down wanted pages and creating the redirects, you are creating hundreds of links to redirects. In theory, you should be seeing what links to each red link, then changing it to point to the builds wipe. Its not practical really, but going about a wikiwide crusade without telling anyone causes this sort of dispute. Lord of all tyria 18:31, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I dont understand what you mean by redirecting to red links- Surely thats what a broken redirect is, isnt it? &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Look, here's the bottom line. The wiki is a community. The community clearly disagrees with you. You will of course retort that it's only me, but by scrolling up I detect the presence of three other dissenters, and no supporters. Therefore, you are wrong. I can't make it any clearer than that. If you feel the need to create more drama, don't. I'm going to my sister's play now, I won't be back for a while. This discussion should be long over by the time I'm back. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * (EC) Oops, mistyped a sentence. /fail. What you should be doing is finding each page with a red link going to a build on wanted pages, then changing that red link to go to the builds wipe page. It means less redirects, and removes stuff from wanted pages. Lord of all tyria 18:35, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * And there you have it, running away from the situation without answering what it is that I'm asking. Thought as much. "Three Other Dissenters" - Viper doesn't really care, and Loat seems to be neutral, so yeah, its just you. End of. If you get a valid point, I'll be here. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:36, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I find apathy towards wikidrama helps me get through situations without mass flaming. I think its admirable that someone has the conviction to try sorting out wanted pages, I merely disagree with the way you've gone about it. Lord of all tyria 18:37, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Bye. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:38, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, and Loat. Yeah, thats a fair enough point, but its not a practical thing. Its far more practical to redirect, and it explains as to why the links arn't there. It may seem I have the attention span of a GoldFish, but when I'm bored small things facinate me :p. Oh, and here we have Felix being Immature. -.- &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 18:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Veiled personal attacks and parting shots aside...next time you feel the need to make a hundred odd pages, throw the idea out into general discussion first. Lord of all tyria 18:41, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Veiled personal attacks? Meh. Anyway, usually I don't ask for conformation. Saves time, and meaningless debate. Enough with the wikidrama. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick
