Anyone know how to add entries here without actually adding a page? I don't know how to do the re-direct and I'm not sure if that would effect the same end. Basically, I think that newbies should not have to know that chairs and thrones are essentially the same (and will they always be?). Chairs should have it's own entry on this page, even if it re-directs to Throne. --Geofferic

1) I think you would simply need to add the category tag to the page in question to automatically add it in the category.
2) You simply need to type "#redirect [[name of page]]" for a redirect.
3) Newbies should have all the non-spoiler information available to them at once. I could not think of a reason why the difference between a chair or a throne should be kept a secret.
4) Having a duplicate page for chair would be pointless. That information is already included in the throne page, and even that page hardly have enough information on it to be interesting. --Eagle of Fire 01:28, 19 November 2007 (EST)
The lack of information is interesting in itself. It tells me that it may not be an item that does much. So many of the items can be used for various things, I may have a use in mind and seeing it not listed on the item's page tells me I may not be able to do that in the first place. Hence, having items pages is useful even if only to tell me that there's nothing to see here.
I agree about the non-spoiler info, and hence it should be easy to get to - like clicking chair and arriving at throne and learning they are one and the same.
