:I regard the Wikipedia links as placeholders, since they don't allow us to add value beyond a simple citation. Virtually every link-to-wikipedia (except for technical vocabulary and such) deserves a page on our own wiki, with a mere link to Wikipedia. | :I regard the Wikipedia links as placeholders, since they don't allow us to add value beyond a simple citation.

::"...more or less random connections to Oni's '''[[universe]]'''...". Now you're doing it just to annoy me, aren't you? ;-p | |||
::When I look through the Wanted Pages page that lists redlinks, it's just a little frustrating that there are a few hundred redlinks and less than a hundred actual articles (going by NUMBEROFARTICLES, anyway). It seems that you are expecting the community to basically move their chatting over to the wiki and add those pages in as they discuss Oni's universe, but the truth is, I just don't see it happening. I see that at times there have been lengthy discussions on the wiki, but it's not happening now, and even if it was, you couldn't direct the discussions by making redlinks. All it does is obscure actual needed pages like [[Kerr]] (which I will probably do myself soon). | |||
::At the very least, if you could add a one-sentence article for your redlinks like [[Nausicaa]] explaining the gist of the connection to Oni... otherwise, no one's going to do it. WP would call those stubs, and we know how anal about stubs they are, but they don't bother me at all. You could view them as footnotes explaining the reason for your reference in another article. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 20:28, 5 February 2008 (CET) | |||
