HRWiki talk:Links to disambiguating pages
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Why I restored this
I want to see if I can get this working since GrapeNuts can take advantage of the Special:Disambiguations page in doing some routine maintenance. If I can't get it working I'll delete this again. —

I read somewhere that this keeps disambig pages from showing up on Special:Lonelypages. Can anyone confirm that our disambig pages were showing up there until I restored this yesterday? I've removed one of the disambig links temporarily to see if it starts showing up in Lonelypages again. We'll see. —

- Heh, never mind. Of course this keeps pages from showing up on Lonelypages because linking to them would make them no longer lonely. :) Well, that's at least one benefit to having this page. Anyone agree? I'm still working out exactly how Special:Disambiguations works. —

- Some of the links were outdated, so I removed some and added others. Special:Disambiguations doesn't have any pages listed there, isn't there a way to get that page working how it should, so we don't need to manually search for them? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Delete
All of this can be found in Category:Disambiguation, plus this list isn't even complete. I say we should delete this or redirect it to Category:Disambiguation. Homestar-Winner (talk) 18:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- If you noticed in the discussion above, the reason this page exists is to keep the pages listed here from showing up in Special:Lonelypages as they should not be considered lonely pages wand would clutter the special page. Even last month (Happy New Year) I updated this list. The lonely pages left are either pending discussion articles or little-known articles that can be examined and/or linked from other articles. If the need for this page no longer met, then I think it would be more prudent for the administration to note it. --Stux 06:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Delete, Part 2
What Homestar-Winner said in the above discussion. Plus, the fact that no other Wiki has such a page. RickTommy (edits) 03:45, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- See Stux's reply above. Also, why does it matter that no other Wiki has this page? The HRWiki isn't the same as every other Wiki. I say keep.

- This is here for the technical reasons listed above and in light of that, I cannot imagine that this is going to be deleted any time soon. I am therefore closing this discussion and removing the tbd. — Defender1031*Talk 07:05, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
