- 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)#Ghouls vs Humans
- 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 — 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 stubto 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. Ryan W (usually gone) 14:11, 7 April 2017 (CDT)
Word puzzles
Watson/Collins: Void + Ship + sequel = Voidship 2 at Doomworld/idgames 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 project slipgate. The closest I could find that combines all three was The Lost Gate. --Eris Falling (talk) 15:00, 7 April 2017 (CDT)
- Damn — you could have uploaded my brain and I wouldn't have seen that. Using it as an example, I can find "The" + "Lost" + The Abandoned Base = The Lost Base, but that seems too obscure for the author to believe it was a fair challenge. I think we'll go with yours.
