Drakøns changes
Ok, so I am curious. Is there some benefit to changing the wikilinks for the Drakøns rather than letting the redirects do the work?--Dmon (talk) 13:38, 4 August 2020 (EDT)
- The links, not really I suppose. I used to work in a wiki where Special:WhatLinksHere for the page wouldn't show you links from redirects, among other things, so there were small benefits to eliminating redirects. I developed the habit of adjusting links to avoid redirects while I was fixing other style issues, which is what I was about with Drakons/Drakøns and their ordinals in the text.
