Talk:Euphonia's Challenge: Treasure of Crystal Cove

... was there a particular reason for creating a (typoed) page for a redirect rather than just using the standard "Treasure of Crystal CoveEuphonia's Challenge: Treasure of Crystal Cove"? -LrdSlvrhnd 14:34, February 24, 2012 (EST) First off - using piped linking is not a "Standard" and really makes no sense in this case. It's "standard" use is for things like "X articleclick here", not for this.

And yea, there are plenty of good reasons to use simple direct single redirect links for exact naming that the game occoasonally, and the devs use: Shade 15:23, February 24, 2012 (EST)
 * Improves searches.. Right now if someone reads something about Euphonias challenge in the notes or on the forums and searchs here, they will end up on an ancient page about the old challenge.. Now with this redirect - after the server updates its cache, they will see the redirect to a more recent article - very helpful.
 * It's the exact naming in the release notes. If - really when considering hwo many times they've updated this thing - it gets updated again, they may well use there own same wording, and when we need to spend the time to wikify it again, its a simple process of adding some brackets, saving us time.
 * In general for important game-information like alternate names of challenges/quests, we should use direct linking and redirect, for the reasons above and more.. An additiona benefit to linking to redirects is it improves the usage of the "what links here" tool, as that tool will expand out redirects showing you exactly how things link to a page.. So for a large page with a huge amount of information about various things, you can find out what related pages link to more specific areas of said page.. Especially useful for when we amalgamate effects like our Elemental Resistance page, as you can check the tool for exact items, per resistance type.. Where as if you piped all the links, they would all show in a hard to read straight list and be impossible to distinguish without a lot more manual labor.
 * PS: Thanks for the heads up, I've fixed the typo.
