I bury my old conversations here to die. Please don't disturb the dead.

Hi, if you want to use wikilinks to link to categories, all you need to do is add a colon in front of the word Category. For example [[:Category:Items]] -> Category:Items --Brizth T A 12:05, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

Thanks. I haven't read all of the ins-and-outs for the wiki yet. I probably should if I am going to be making all of these changes, eh? :D --Token Black Man 12:11, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

I noticed some double redirects after you merged some pages. A double redirect is a redirect that directs to another redirect. Unfortunately, due to wiki software limitations, double redirects won't work. So redirecting A->B->C will not make A redirect to C. Instead, A would look something like this. The way to fix these is to make the first redirect (A in the example) redirect directly to target (C in example). Fortunately wiki keeps track of double redirects, and they can be found in Special:DoubleRedirects. It's currently empty since I fixed the few that were there, but it's good to keep eye on it. Anyway, keep up the good work! --Brizth T A 13:21, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

Yup. My fault. I keep changing things and then I forget to go back and fix the previous changes to redirect to the new page. I'll keep an eye on that page, however. --Token Black Man 13:25, 5 October 2006 (CDT)
Wait a minute. I fixed some of those last night, and the painkillers just a moment ago. It didn't save my changes? --Token Black Man 13:31, 5 October 2006 (CDT)
You fixed Dose of Painkillers not long ago. But with all these redirects it is quite hard to keep track of all. Or then the wiki is just borked. It happens, occasionally. --Brizth T A 14:08, 5 October 2006 (CDT)
I'm thinking the latter, as there have been a few times when it was going really slow in the middle of my update. I'll still keep an eye on Special:DoubleRedirects, just in case. --Token Black Man 14:11, 5 October 2006 (CDT)
