[edit] Linking to avoid "lonely" pages

Hey Ecot, wanted to share a quick tip about making new articles. Your Wumpus article itself is a great start, however it is currently not linked to from anywhere on the wiki. Such pages are called "orphaned" or "lonely", as (apart from "Random Page" or categories) there is no way for a reader to navigate to the article.

The easiest way to resolve this is to simply go to the "Fun Facts" sections of the appearances you've already listed, and simply add a link back to the new page after you've created it. This way readers can be more likely to find the new article and connect it to other points on the knowledge base. Thanks! -- Bleu Ninja 20:09, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
