Talk:Keep Rikti from taking over the sewers
From Paragon Wiki Archive
Necessary?
Is this page really necessary? I don't think there's any reason for this redirect to exist, given that it is named after (I'm making a presumption here) the nav window text for the mission, and the mission's template already makes note of the fact that the mission takes place in the Abandoned Sewers. -LightprinceTalk 00:43, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- I personally don't think this is necessary. Perhaps the original author (Graal) can chime in? -- Agge (talk) 02:11, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well, not to put words in (or to be more precise, pull words out of) Graal's mouth, but the text that was put in the Summary box at this page's creation read: "Secondary name for this mish - needs redirect coz mish text doesn't indicate that it is in ABANDONED sewers". This reasoning seems faulty to me, given that this redirect makes no mention of the Abandoned Sewer Network, not to mention the fact that it leads to a single contact when there are 5 different contacts that give the mission. I think that's my full say on the subject, so I'll shut my trap now. -LightprinceTalk 02:20, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I spent maybe an hour looking for Rikti in the Sewers, until I found out that the Rikti were in the ABANDONED sewers. The mission title starts off "Help the Security Chief", but changes to the title of this redirect after you've talked to the Chief. I was hoping to spare someone else frustration... if someone is having trouble finishing the mission, and types the nav title into Paragonwiki, they will get redirected to the main article which has the note about abandoned sewers. I'm not entirely sure what harm there is in having this redirect in place, but if it violates some Paragonwiki policy, feel free to delete. Ideally the devs would fix the mission text to indicate that you should be looking in the abandoned sewer network. --Graal 02:36, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- I would think we would have most Paragon Wiki users "trained" to type their contact's name into the search bar, not the mission name. O.o? There are a hundred confusing missions in the game, and this one is the only one with a redirect. It doesn't violate any policy, I just don't think it's necessary, not to mention a little misleading since you are linking to a single contact when the mission is given out by several different contacts. -- Agge (talk) 15:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
