 * That's it! Dunno why I couldn't find any of those threads based on kmxexii's description.  If others actually have the stomach to draft such articles, then I'll certainly leave them to it.  Thanks much.    Ryan W (talk) 22:38, 2 March 2016 (CST)

Incorrect links
Hi, here's a (possibly incomplete) list of redlinks that are meant to point to existing pages or should at least be pointing elsewhere, in case such pages exist in future. I'm trying to clean up Special:WantedPages a bit, there's quite a few at the bottom that are only pointing to this page.


 * AD-79 -> Brayden Hart (AD_79) or AD_79
 * Matt Powell (Cannonball) -> Matt Powell (cannonball) (I don't understand why this redlinks, but it does.)
 * Ditto for Chris Bourke (purist) and Christian Lian (darkreaver).
 * S.U.P.E.R.N.A.T.U.R.A.L -> S.U.P.E.R. Natural
 * Anything 32in24-xx -> 32in24 (series)
 * Nicholas Monti -> Nicolas Monti
 * WolvenDoom: Blade of Agony -> WolfenDoom: Blade of Agony
 * Slaughtermap -> Slaughter map
 * Coffee Break Episode I -> Coffee Break
 * No End in Sight -> No End In Sight
 * Mordeth E2 -> Mordeth
 * Invisible sector -> Self-referencing sector (?)
 * Ghouls vs Humans -> The Ghoul's Forest (series)
 * Doom: Threshold of Pain -> Threshold of Pain
 * Voodoo doll scripting -> Voodoo doll
 * Also, my name isn't Aries Thölin! :)

 * Wow, thanks for reading so carefully, which I didn't expect anyone to do ever. :>   I changed the most obvious cases per the intro section, but I will come back when more brain cells are available &mdash; it's possible that some should be redirects, especially if they will someday be articles theoretically (like 32in24).  Sorry about the name, also; I have no idea where I found that!    Ryan W (usually gone) 17:27, 28 March 2017 (CDT)


 * I'm not against having each 32in24 having its own article (especially those linked to cacowards, that includes -16). I've redirected their most common names so far, I guess subtitles and stuff can be handled if those individual articles actually happen. At some point I'll probably do the same for some of those other series, like KZDoom. --Eris Falling (talk) 17:49, 28 March 2017 (CDT)


 * No objection here. I think DM maps usually don't have articles because fragging is more fun than markup.  :>    Ryan W (usually gone) 17:57, 28 March 2017 (CDT)


 * IMO voodoo doll scripting should have its own article, due to the longevity of the topic and the length required for technical descriptions with examples (yes, I realize I'm saying this without dropping everything to start it RIGHT NOW). I can't prevent anyone from creating a redirect or a brief stub to get rid of the redlink, but at least if there is a redlink, people will occasionally be reminded that content could be added, which is the whole purpose of that list.

Part 2
By request, I've given the list another look through:


 * Town of Witchcraft -> Town Of Witchcraft (really MediaWiki?)
 * Halo of Wonders -> Halo Of Wonders
 * The Community Is Falling 2 -> The Community is Falling 2
 * Strife: Return of The Order -> Return of The Order
 * Strife: Day of the Acolyte -> Day of the Acolyte
 * Shadows of Cronos -> Shadows of Chronos

I don't see anything else that's incorrect for now, but there are a few cases where I'm not sure if stuff really needs to be linked:

--Eris Falling (talk) 11:23, 25 August 2018 (CDT)
 * Individual demos: We have some articles for these already, but I'm not sure if most of the ones on the list warrant their own article. 30pn4357 strikes me as the most obvious candidate for an article as it was long considered to be impossible, and even received some media attention. Maybe 30uv1959 too, Doom II in under 20 minutes non-TAS.
 * Glass floor/ceiling: Portal?
 * GL lighting: Not sure what this article would be. First thing that springs to mind is dynamic light, which is admittedly a fairly simplistic article, but it does go beyond that.
 * Void 2: Nonexistent WAD
 * Women in the Doom community: Not sure what this article would be.
 * NM pacifist: Not an "officially recognised" category. Such runs are treated as NM speed and maybe have a notice saying they are also pacifist runs.
 * Darknation's rectum: C'mon now :P
 * Voidship 2 + The Lost Gateway: Nonexistent WADs
 * GL Fog: We have a general fog article, and the ZDoom wiki article has a brief outline of OpenGL extensions.
 * Russian Overkill: Reinforcements from Moldova: I was working on a Russian Overkill draft years ago, but never finished it. Reinforcements from Moldova was an expansion that was later merged into the main mod, so this would just become redirect.
 * Start to crate: Fun as it was, I'm not convinced sidebar filler merits its own article.
 * Deus Vult II 2: Hypothetical WAD sequel, afaik.
 * Silent teleporter: I think there's not much to say about these other than what's already in the main teleporter article. Redirect?
 * 4chan: Non-Doom website, doesn't merit its own article.
 * Survival: This is just co-op with a lives limit. Redirect to Multiplayer I guess, and add a short sentence.
 * Combat Shock 3: Borderline hypothetical WAD I guess. It existed at some point, then some maps turned up in Sunlust, and the rest is unknown.
 * Every unreleased WAD on this list: In general the guideline is that unreleased mods don't qualify for articles, some will eventually be released, others maybe not. I'm not sure if this question has ever arisen, but should they even be linked to in the first place?

Word puzzles
Watson/Collins: Void + Ship + sequel = No idea for the second; it seems the first two words would have to be "Awful Lost" and there's nothing that starts like this on the idgames archive. --Gez (talk) 14:22, 7 April 2017 (CDT)


 * Maybe a year or so back, idgames reviews switched to have newest first. So you're actually after "The Lost." Out of the Robinsons' works, I found . The closest I could find that combines all three was . --Eris Falling (talk) 15:00, 7 April 2017 (CDT)


 * Damn &mdash; you could have uploaded my brain and I wouldn't have seen that. Using it as an example, I can find "The" + "Lost" +  =, but that seems too obscure for the author to believe it was a fair challenge.  I think we'll go with yours.    Ryan W (usually gone) 17:03, 7 April 2017 (CDT)
