Removing red links
On the potion page, I created a red link for Alchemy. In all wikis that I've ever participated in, the redlink signifies that a page with that title should be created at some point. You removed the link later, presumably just because it was red!

Wikipedia's [|red link policy] states that "Good red links help Wikipedia—they encourage new contributors in useful directions, and remind us that Wikipedia is far from finished."

You have more contributions to this wiki than I, so maybe there is a red link guideline here that trumps standard wiki usage. If so, can you let me know? If not, can we restore this redlink?

 * I didn't remove it because it was red. I removed it because we don't know the final name for that skill. And while putting Alchemy in there is fine. Putting in a redlink that makes more work for the Admins or Mods, when they have to move or delete a mistakenly created page didn't make sense. --Ecksearoh 21:27, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not picky, so I won't bother changing it back. But, I see it as "Hell" and the "Slip", which were given as names for the Nether, before it was released.  Those pages (redirects) had to be made, because Notch officially talked about it using those terms.  Notch has talked enough about "Alchemy" in the past, that a page should already exist with that name.  If it changes name when released, a redirect needs to be made.  The redlink serves as a reminder in both cases. Chezzik 21:49, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
