Hi, I do know how redirects work but I moved some of them as they were not used anywhere, they were basically cluttering the wiki. Sometimes people make mistakes and just leave redirects when moving a page. But I won't do that anymore if you say that they are needed.

And another thing, is there a way to mark pages for deletion? Or even implementing the Page purge function? (I saw other wikis have it) *aarin.dreams* (talk) 18:07, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Just because the redirect isn't currently linked, doesn't mean it won't be linked to in the future. Having redirect pages uses negligible server resources, so they don't really "clutter the wiki." Redirects are also very useful for searches. For example, a page name named "Aaron Hernandez" and users are typing in "Aaron" in the search field will automatically get redirected.

I will add a delete request template so you can mark pages for deletion. The page purge function is added via gadget, which I will also add.

In the future, you can reply to messages on your own talk page by adding an indent with a colon (:), so we don't go back and forth across two pages. Makes it easier to go back through the discussion. Also, don't forget to sign your messages by appending ~~~~ to it. Makes it easier to see who was talking than having to go through the talk page edit history.

Thank you for contributing to the wiki. Trying to do it all myself is a lot of work. ReedemtheD3ad! (talk) 17:40, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Your tips are very useful since I wasn't really sure how the talk page works on wiki.gg ^^ *aarin.dreams* (talk) 18:07, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

No problem! We try to follow the standards used on most MediaWiki wikis, but it isn't the most intuitive system for people new to MediaWiki. ReedemtheD3ad! (talk) 18:10, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
