Minor edit marking

Oi! For all those redirects you're messing with... can you mark 'em as "minor"? It's clogging up the "Recent changes" page something fierce. --DeMatt 17:15, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Double Redirects:

So basically, those double redirects were all VERY intentional. For a practical reason too. Consider the redirect chain Wrestling -> cv:Wrestling -> cv:Combat skill. This is definitely one of the ones you've changed. As it stands in that chain, if someone decided to create a "Wrestling" article, all they'd have to do is change the page contents of cv:Wrestling from a redirect to a normal page. You might be thinking that it's a silly reason, because it only saves one edit. But that's not true, take a look at wrestle, and hopefully you'll see what I mean. I'm going to try to roll back as many of them as I can, but I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look through. Emi [T] 20:37, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

It's fine, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to revert them now. Also please use the four tildes ~~~~, which will automatically create your signature. Emi [T] 21:19, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, that's a couple hundred changes undone for nothing, then. I would have undone the double redirects by hand. -AH

Sadly, it was the fastest way we could figure out to restore them. I'll be going through later and restoring the good edits once I have a chance. Sorry about all this mess! :( --Briess 23:59, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Creature Templates

Please don't change the {{creatures}} template links, I know they are still showing creatures that don't exist in 40d, etc... but the way you're doing it isn't the best way, I had meant to change up the creature template earlier, but I guess I'll do it now. Emi [T] 04:47, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

<shrug> Well, not any more they aren't, except for the demons - I was pretty much going through and re-doing the changes undone when all the double redirects were restored. -AH

We undid those ones as well because we don't want

we want Template:Main creatures. And the previous reason for adding 40d is no longer there, as I changed the way the creatures template works. Expect another mass undo of changes. Emi [T] 04:55, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
