− | + | On this wiki, all pages in the mainspace (main namespace) that do not exist will be treated as redirects to the page of the same name in the current version's namespace. For example, [[Aardvark]] (a nonexistent page) redirects to [[{{DF:Current}}:Aardvark]]. (This can be seen by clicking on "Redirected from [[Aardvark]]" below the title on [[{{DF:Current}}:Aardvark]].) | |
− | + | Redirects to content in the current namespace should almost always be created in the current namespace, ''not'' the main namespace, and should use the current namespace as the namespace for the redirect. For example, [[{{DF:Current}}:Kitten]] should redirect to [[{{DF:Current}}:Cat]], not [[Cat]] or [[cv:Cat]]. In cases where a redirect does need to be created in the main namespace, use "cv" for the redirects namespace instead (this is a shortcut to the current namespace, ). | |
− | + | Pages in the mainspace should only redirect to an older versioned page if that content no longer exists in the current version of the game (e.g. [[Cave river]], [[Chunk]]). In these cases the cv: alias cannot be used. | |
− | |||
− | + | Redirects inside a versioned namespace should not use the cv: alias. Instead, they should redirect to the best page within that versioned namespace (e.g. [[DF2012:Dodging]], [[v0.31:Drink]]). | |
