Talk:trogday

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Is there a reason that lowercase trogday redirects to the Happy Trogday toon and the upper case Trogdat redirects to the holiday's spot on the holiday list? Shouldn't they both go to the same place? Guybrush20X6 23:49, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

There's a filename redirect for most things on the site as it was before 2021, and Happy Trogday was located at trogday.html and trogday.swf. There are a few exceptions, e.g., games is a disambiguation because it could refer to games.html, the Scrolling Shooter Games Menu, or to games.swf, the Third Games Menu.

I see, but should that still be the case now that homestarrunner.com has moved all toons to URLS that match their menu names? Guybrush20X6 00:08, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

I was wondering the same thing. Is there still a use for filename redirects (the obstructive ones, anyway) now that the site has been reorganized? Lira (talk) 00:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

If I still remember correctly They are used for HRWiki:Subtitles to make sure they work right. I'm still hoping that All-in-one Addon can someday be resurrected. Even if several files have been renamed, they keep their old name in the old homepage. So I think there's still use for them in the future. --Stux 08:00, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

I've created a project entry for this issue to be discussed and followed-up on there. --Stux 11:50, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
