Okay, following up on something I went to look for the page that had all the swords on it. I, of course, did a search for "Sword". Which returned no page title matches and a statement saying "There is no page titled "sword". Right below that, however was a list entitled "Page title matches" with the first match being "Swords" (aka, the page I was looking for).
So, my question is, is that right? I know the difference was just sword versus swords but shoudn't looking for both get you the Swords page link, front and center without needing to click through on a second link?
Or am I asking for the impossible and it can't be done in a Wiki?
Not that it's a huge, issue, obviously. I can click once more to get to the Swords page. But as a rabid Wiki end-user, I'm forseeing a potential problem with people creating multiple instances of the same page just because one person looked for oh, I don't know, "snipe" and it was actually a page called "Snipes" but the person didn't look father down to see that.
Am I making sense? It's 5am and I haven't been to bed yet so, maybe not.
P.S. I'm more than willing to grind to fill in some of the gaps in drops, damage, location, etc on the Wiki pages, I'm just bad at editing Wikis. Seriously, I break them. You don't want me editing anything unless you want it to go poof. So, is someone willing to work with me on it? I know there's various lists here in the forums, but I'd be doing it in a "Pink Jelly cubes do X damage and give Y drops and can be found on A,B,C type levels" as opposed to splitting it up to post in several places. I'm happy to trade emails or IM names with anyone that could help me on this. Thanks!
normal wikis use redirects for that sort of thing, and tend to have an assload, and tend to have them added manually
if the page "Swords" has all the content then the page "Sword" probably ought to consist of only the text "#REDIRECT [[Swords]]", so that when you search for "sword" it shunts you over instantly to Swords
for example, on wikipedia:
Double edge sword, Double edge swords, Double edged, Double edged sword, Double edged swords, Double edges, Double-edge, Double-edge sword, Double-edge swords, Double-edged, Double-edged sword, Double-edged swords, Double-edges, Doubleedge, Doubleedge sword, Doubleedge swords, Doubleedged, Doubleedged sword, Doubleedged swords, Doubleedges, One edge, One edged, One edged sword, One edged swords, One-edge, One-edged, One-edged sword, One-edged swords, Oneedge, Oneedged, Oneedged sword, Oneedged swords, Single edge, Single edge sword, Single edge swords, Single edged, Single edged sword, Single edged swords, Single edges, Single-edge, Single-edge sword, Single-edge swords, Single-edged, Single-edged sword, Single-edged swords, Single-edges, Singleedge, Singleedge sword, Singleedge swords, Singleedged, Singleedged sword, Singleedged swords, Singleedges, Two edge, Two edge sword, Two edge swords, Two edged, Two edged sword, Two edged swords, Two edges, Two-edge, Two-edge sword, Two-edge swords, Two-edged, Two-edged sword, Two-edged swords, Two-edges, Twoedge, Twoedge sword, Twoedge swords, Twoedged, Twoedged sword, Twoedged swords, and Twoedges
