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.

Sarna is the only wiki I have ever worked on so pretty much all wiki code I know is what I have picked up here. A nice feature we have is that out redirects show up in whatlinkshere.--Dmon (talk) 14:27, 4 August 2020 (EDT)

Yeah, that seems to be standard wiki technology now, but old habits and whatnot. Improvements like that can be a double-edged sword, where suddenly I'm the most out-of-date component. :) Tosta Dojen (talk) 14:42, 4 August 2020 (EDT)
