 * Ah, ok, i see that complicated coding magic takes care of that :), Still, i've stolen 'borrowed' a simpler one from someones talkpage for now because i can modify that with less fear of exploding it. I'll save the code for yours and use that once i have a better understanding of wiki code/html i think--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (Talk /Contribs ) 13:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, but only on weekends. Seriously though, i don't "know my stuff" when it comes to coding, anything complicated is stolen from someone else and modified.

 * Open Category: [Profession] Bosses. Open several 'Blank the Blanky' or 'Blank, Blankity Blank' names.  Search for the lowercased/no comma versions on the respective pages.  Click 'create this page.'  CTRL+V in #REDIRECT  and type the proper boss name within the brackets.  Save changes.  Rinse.  Repeat. [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 11:28, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Boardwalk Spend

 * Hey man, I don't blame you at all for getting a little pissed off from RA lol. The other day I spent a good 5 hours or so there getting to 5 wins only once. Probably got monks only twice during that whole time, and the rest of the time I was paired with those PvE players you talked about on my talk page lol. So I know how frustrating it can be when you load and you already know what the outcome will be, as you watch the W/Mo use mending and the E/Me use Illusion of Weakness, and the third guy not load. XD Anyway, please feel free to add me in-game (same name, Zephyr Cloud). I am always looking for cool people to try to do TA or HA with, since I never have anybody to go with. :/ I've actually never even been in a HA battle, which I've always wanted to try. Hope to hear from you sometime! Zephyr Cloud 20:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh fork off Felix xD, and Zephyr, I will add you ingame but im not on v.much atm because of exams and various other irl related problems, and also timezone differences mean i'll likely never see you :P. Im also not really a contact for getting to HA anymore, i haven't been in HA in ages and the competetive PvP guilds i've been in have all disbanded. My GW activity is mostly limited to chest running/vanquishing/HM missions and farming glad points in RA/TA. And i've been in exactly the example situtation you described up there more than once. In order to get 5 or more wins i always play monk in RA, running ZB or some gimmicky healers covenant enchantment spam thing (which is ridiculous and needs nerfing, but meh, it works for RA). However, even as a monk i always seem to end up in a team with atleast 1 other monk, meaning that we'll never get 5 wins due to lack of offensive power, if im not a monk i always end up in a team with no monk. That or luck takes the piss and makes me think we've got a monk then it turns out he doesn't load/is a smiter/mending spammer/55hp/has put all his attrib points into swordsmanship and hammer mastery.--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 16:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I think I'm in luv. O_o Great little RA rant. XD Anyway, yea... running monk in RA is about the most secure thing to do for points. ZB can be good, but I don't really like covenant spam. If I monk I always run a standard WoH monk, good stuff. :) I usually prefer to play necro though, or my D/E wounding striker. Oohh how I love the punishment I can dish out with that lol. If you see me online please don't hesitate to say hi. I understand if we never cross paths, I know how buys life can be for sure, but maybe we'll be able to meet up for some TA or something sometime.

Highly relevant wiki questions

 * 1) What happens if you create a redirect to a redirect redirecting back to the first redirect, e.g. A Redirects to B which Redirects to A?
 * 2) If there is a magic system in place to prevent that, then what if A Redirects to B which Redirects to C which Redirects to A?
 * 3) Is it possible to target redirects to page sections in the same way it is with links?
 * 4) If so what happens if you create several redirects to different sections on one page with each section being a redirect to another?

All these things i could probably find out myself if i could be bothered, but a) I can't, b) I might get caught in an inescapable redirect link and c) Some kind of wiki-damage might be caused in the process, sooo, any ideas?-- - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 15:33, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
