They redirect from the crafting page, maybe you should try clicking on the outputs of fences (on the crafting page) Do we really want a blank page there? --Mr FJ 19:28, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Then why don't you just redirect to the item page of the SINGLE item? You don't get "2 Fence" when you craft those sticks, you get two amount of "Fence" and that's where you should redirect too. It's just obsolete. --Flippeh 19:30, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That's my fault, since the template generate the link according to the image name, and I have uploaded the images with the number of items in the name…
 * In my defense, I followed the previously crafting recipes which were made like that, without thinking of the link.
 * I can't find how to rename an image, is there a way or should I reup all the incriminated images ? – Scaler 20:06, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * A reupload would be a good thing (I can't find a way to rename an image either) - I think that if Quatroking notices this, he'll simply remove all these pages in order to keep the wiki clean - even more broken links! --Flippeh 20:09, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Middle click!!!
Jesus bloody christ, I never knew such an accessible function existed. This is going to come in very handy! Thanks for putting it in Controls :3 --Gnu32 22:07, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I only discovered that a few days ago by accident, didn't really know what happened - I finally understood it when it was featured on reddit yesterday. I think it's new :)! --Flippeh 22:33, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Redirect pages
(sorry to bug you again) Regarding redirect pages, as annoying and messy looking they are when made, I think it'd be best to keep them there to make the search function easier (ie. some people may end up searching for "Eggs") once they're made or at least when there's reasonable room for such an error. --Gnu32 20:07, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If they type "Egg" in the search bar, the page Chicken Egg will pop up immediately in the search help! I think there's no need to clutter up the wiki just because people can't search right. I may be a little harsh with that, but I see no point in making things easy for people who don't pay attention! After all, isn't a wiki made to be a structured and clean place of compiled information? No need to spread things around! And don't apologize for bugging me, I'm open for criticism :) --Flippeh 21:34, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * What if there is some sort of lag and the search suggest doesn't pop up? Also, your heavy usage of exclamation points is kinda, well, it makes you seem like you're overly upset or emotional about the topic. As to your actual point of "clutter", I do think that redirects serve a useful function on a wiki. Yes, they allow people to get away with not linking the exact article, but most of the time that's better than red links and it helps people browse the wiki better. And while redirects take up a "page", for most users it'll seem pretty seamless and not cluttered. --JonTheMon 21:50, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Unless and until the wiki search function is improved, redirects are an important tool to facilitate searches. Not only does the search engine fail at plurals, it also fails with capitalization as well as common spelling errors. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  22:35, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Whilst the search function can sometimes negate the need for redirect pages, it's a mileage-may-vary experience across many users, especially considering it is a live (AJAX) feature, so as Wynthyst points out this is a point of improvement, which in the meantime can be assisted with redirects. As for clutter, one can argue that this is a case of transparent structure that does not necessarily need to be kept in check.


 * The ultimate point of the wiki (IMHO) is to be a clear and concise resource for readers to look up and for editors to edit efficiently. This means if corners can be cut that does not impact on both these points, then it's probably worth doing so. Technically (correct me on this) the only impact these pages would have are on database size, but this is negligible at best. Think of this like the Windows Registry, you're like me in a way in that I want to keep it clean of entries that shouldn't be there anymore but because I know they're sitting there I feel they shouldn't, when actually they don't impact on performance at all, nor are they disruptive. That's my take on it :P --Gnu32 22:48, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Alrighty then, outvoted :). I'll stick to just making the links point to the correct location with a pluralized display text - without marking the corresponding article for deletion. Regarding Jon's remark: No, I'm not overly emotional, the exclamation points could just as well have been periods here. Why should I? This was never a fight or an argument of sorts. :) --Flippeh 23:15, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ahaha, I don't see an issue with eccentricity myself! It's all about personality! Actually I'm just going to put these exclamation marks away and go to sleep before somebody gets killed (!!!) --Gnu32 23:42, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

= lulzheadline = Ah, that was valid information? Beds actually explode if you sleep in the nether? I assumed that someone was just putting in fake information. Sorry about that. D: --Zkyo 18:04, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * No worries, it really does seem like a joke, doesn't it? I had to blow out my portal to find out it's actually true :S --Flippeh 18:50, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
