Ok so, I just added a new page: Fey Day, with reference to WDH p184, listed it in the appropriate Categories and locations, and on the correct day, crosslinking it back from the date's page. Now I was looking to update something for Fleetswake. However, /wiki/Fleetswake redirects to /wiki/Waterdeep and doesnt allow me to create an all new, seperate page, for Fleetsweek like I think it should have, much like Waukeentide. Anyone know how to disable the redirect so I can create a new page?

Hi, and welcome to the wiki.

To answer your question, only admins can delete pages, and redirects count as pages. I can remove the redirect for you, but first, I want to have time to check over the new edits/additions that you made.

We have had a lot of new editors recently who have rushed in and tried to change things a bit too quickly before getting a hang of things and understanding the policies first. This results in regular editors having to clean up after them, which keeps us from our own projects.

I'll go check over your new Fey Day article after this—which looks at first glance like a good start—and after you see what I did there and understand the changes, I'll remove the redirect for you.

Again, welcome! Take your time here and enjoy adding to the lore of the Realms.

I had to delete your new page because it contained copied text, which is illegal. But you are welcome to recreate it in your own words. If you do so, please see the comments I left for you on your talk page.
