→Removed redirects
| Line 127: | Line 127: | ||
Why are you removing the redirects from the pages of specific game IDs? That breaks the "open wiki page" shortcut from Dolphin's game list and should be done only when the same ID points to completely different titles (like [[GNHE5d]], [[GVSJ8P]], [[RABAZZ]] or [[RELSAB]])...

:If you're thinking of [[Metroid Prime: Trilogy]] then I dunno what is right, just making consistent with others. It's one oddball on this Wiki for having one single game to have four pages. How would their GameIDs be populated if not for disambig pages that redirections recently turned into? I don't necessarily trying to break Dolphin's open wiki page for losing a redirection (though it was very interesting of you calling them "breaking"). What about [[Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II]] and [[Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus]] that are on separate disc & having own wiki?

:: You're actually making things '''less''' consistent. Metroid Prime Trilogy has its own IDs and they should point directly to the [[Metroid Prime Trilogy|main game page]], as it was the case before. The behavior of the shortcut inside Dolphin is to open the matching game page '''directly''' once you click on it. Your recent changes not only broke this behavior by pointing users to an unneeded disambig page but also made {{tl|Infobox VG}} associate the IDs from MP Trilogy to the individual games contained in the disc, which is completely inaccurate since they really don't have any IDs associated with them. | |||
::Regarding Phantasy Star Online, if two different (but still closely related) titles share the same IDs, they should redirect to the "main" page (likely [[Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II]] in this case) and mention the other page with the same IDs right at the beginning of the article via {{tl|For2}}, not through a disambig page (for some examples, take a look at [[Mario Kart Wii]], [[Wii Fit]] or [[Wii Fit Plus]] and their inclusion of {{tl|See Associated Channel}}, which itself is a wrapper for {{tl|For2}} -- another variant is available on [[Wii Fit Channel]], which although added directly instead of using a template may fit better). | |||
:: The shared IDs I mentioned in the initial comment right now are the only exceptions because they literally are used by completely different titles. All other pages from [[:Category:Disambiguation pages]] are automatically generated by {{tl|disambig}} and are normally accessible only if you use the wiki's search function, as the behavior of both the game lists from the wiki and also the shortcut from inside Dolphin is to bypass disambig pages altogether and link directly to the relevant game page whenever possible. I almost reverted your edits on sight, and honestly I'm more inclined to do so now if that's the only reasoning you got for replacing the redirects in with unneeded disambig pages and to associate existing IDs to game pages that shouldn't have any. - [[User:mbc07|mbc07]] ([[User talk:mbc07|talk]]) 10:22, 22 January 2022 (CET) | |||
