Hiya Haxiums, I appreciate your interest in ensuring inter-wiki connectivity between the FR wiki and BGW. In order to correctly link alu-fiend and Alu-Fiend, I went ahead and edited the External Links section on the latter page, by changing that section to " ". Adding the exact article name from the linked wiki will allow us to send readers in the right direction without creating redirect pages that may be extraneous or only serve one purpose. Please feel free to edit any pages with the FRW template in this manner!

Thanks again for helping keep up the inter-wiki links. I am a huge proponent for maintaining connections between all the D&D wikis. Ruf (talk) 00:17, 10 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi! Feel free to delete again the redirect page if that's more in line with this wiki's policies, no worries :)


 * I'm of the school that prefers having extra redirect pages than deletions, not only for compatibility with out-of-wiki links (e.g. when a page moves), but also to help contributors with auto-completion (which resolves to the right article name instead of failing) and generally to be error-proof against future newcomers to wiki editing. I'll sometimes consider making redirect pages with alternate names or spellings that are too likely to be typed by visitors or contributors, whether in the address bar or the wiki editor.


 * I agree that links should not purposefully be made to point to redirect pages. But besides that, what are arguments against having extra redirect pages for things akin to what I listed? Not a debate, just a pure question, you never know when someone else will bring up something you never heard or thought about. :)


 * Also, cheers to your huge contribution to the FR wiki which I find very useful. &mdash; Haximus Thunderburp (talk), 10 April 2021
