: I think there should be a page for things such as Bone Armor and Leather Armor, not just linking to categories. In these pages it would be information such as the history of changes to leather armor (medable penalty removal, information about leather dying, etc.). If such a page didn't exist then it would be repetitive to place it on each piece of armor's page (6 in the case of leather). There is also a smaller benefit in being able to link to uoguide.com/Leather_Armor for ease of user searching and search engine indexing. - [[User:JC the Builder|JC the Builder]] 13:02, 13 April 2008 (PDT)

Revision as of 13:02, 13 April 2008

Hrm, before I get too carried away:

Some articles are linking to other articles labeled according to armor groups, for example, Bone Armor has a few pages leading to it. However, this page (and quite a few others) don't actually exist.

These phantom articles do, on the other hand, have identically named categories. What I've started to do is redirect the articles to these instead in order to reduce the number of red links about the place.

For example, I set up the Platemail Armor category with a brief description. I've also done more or less the same thing with Leather Armor.

However, this involves tweaking quite a few pages and I don't want to mess up things too badly if something else is planned. So is this a good idea?
