:Agreed on the redirects thing (mostly), that's mostly a function of me being tired too late at night and not bothering to fix it. However, I feel Savant is an important enough magical related concept to warrant a link. There could always be a dedicated savant article later. Honestly, I like having these infoboxes, because this lets us know what articles we need. A dedicated savant one would be good. The Misting and Ferring ones are pretty lame though; I was just trying to be complete for now :P So I mostly agree, unless it's especially interesting to have a link. I think savant qualifies. -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] 11:12, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I'll look at the javascript/css. This was just a copypasta from mediawiki. It'd be much easier to do if we updated to a newer mediawiki, as they have jQuery in them. :D --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] 10:58, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Revision as of 11:12, 11 May 2012

Regarding lists

For minor characters, just link to Category:Characters ... damn that wont work. What I would do for Category filtering that worked well. Stupid MediaWiki.

Why would we need a distinct list of future books?

Regarding links

They should go to singular pages, templates shouldn't have redirects, and plurals shouldn't really be redirects. IMO

Pages for in-universe things dont have 'The' at the start. The kandra Homeland. Misting and Savant currently redirect to the sections on Allomancy, and ferring to Feruchemy. --Joe ST 10:58, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
