Store links

Hi Rev, good to see you back in action! Have a virtual pat on the back buddy! :)

A word of caution though: You've been inserting store links into item articles (specifically, BattleRun 2). I think this is a bad idea. Using links to external sites has bitten Sarna in the back multiple times in the past already, because those links go obsolete in a heartbeat when the other site decides to change their makeup, or simply goes offline. We've seen a forum crash, two changes of link structure on the new forum, the death of BattleCorps and some other sites, and one or two revampings of the Catalyst store so far. In each and every case we suddenly had dead links on Sarna. To this day we're seeing occasional IP edits fixing or simply removing old store links from many years ago that are now dead links. My takeaway is to avoid external links like the plague, and straight out copy relevant online content (like official rulings) to talk pages to archive them there.

Thanks for the welcome, Frabby. Sure, I can recognize that danger, especially if it has already happened. The reasons for adding them are understood, but it appears the administrative cost is too high (don't get me started on how it is still difficult for new players to even find the store on the CGL site; I do my purchasing on DriveThru). As to adding store links, why don't we just remove them altogether? A large part of wikis involves copying wikicode and changing it. If we do away with it, then it won't be replicated by editors (and errant admin-types).--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 08:02, 4 May 2021 (EDT)

Category Notable Pilots

Hi Revanche,

I copied the "base" of Category:Notable Awesome pilots from another "Notable Page", so most probably issues are in all those pages. will you review and correct them?--Pserratv (talk) 06:48, 21 June 2021 (EDT)

Tamar Rising systems

Hi Rev, in regards to this File:Tamar Rising coordinates 2021-06-16 (CGL).png, I think it should be noted somewhere in the text box going with the file that two of the three systems have subsequently been identified as pre-existing systems by Ray that had been renamed. Just to make it clear that we aren't looking at three entirely new and previously unmapped systems (only one). Frabby (talk) 03:48, 22 June 2021 (EDT)
