Linking to Twitter

I thought there was some rule guideline against linking to disambiguations? RickTommy (edits) 06:34, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

In most cases, yes. In cases where it makes sense to do so, no. Also, that page should probably be turned into a real page, and not just a disambig. (I'm pretty sure there was a discussion on this somewhere, but I'm not sure where and I can't seem to find it at the moment.) — Defender1031*Talk 07:16, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

IMDb linking

I just saw that an actor's IMDb link was changed to an external link because the coding wasn't correct. Apparently, using the [[IMDb:]] link sends it directly to "https://www.imdb.com/title/xx0000000" even if the title subcategory is not the desired destination. As such, with the [[IMDb:nm0000000]] link, a person's IMDb page linked to the title subcategory instead of the name subcategory, which broke the link. Given that title pages on IMDb contain "tt0000000" and name pages contain "nm0000000" (along with a couple of other subcategories), I think that "[[IMDb:nm0000000]]" should be enough that the system would understand which subcategory it's supposed to be looking in. Is there something that can be done in the inner workings to fix this? The Knights Who Say Ni 14:26, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
