Talk:fireworks

Shouldn't this link to the stub Fireworks instead of the toon Happy Fireworks?
- No. HR:fireworks.html is the URL of the toon Happy Fireworks. We always (when possible) redirect the URL filename to the actual toon/game/whatever. This makes it A) easy to search for, and 2) works with that Greasemonkey script thing, I think. If it was to point to Fireworks, it wouldn't be needed at all (because the lowercase would automatically redirect there anyway). --DorianGray 04:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Precedent, though, is to special-case it in the GM script, rather than have a potentially confusing redirect... fhqwhgads doesn't redirect to Everybody to the Limit for instance, despite HR:fhqwhgads.html... it just links to Fhqwhgads. --phlip TC 04:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Shouldn't that fhqwhgads thing be changed? It would be possible to make it a separate redirect page... — Defender1031*Talk 04:33, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it would be possible, but it'd be potentially confusing. If you search for "fhqwhgads", are you more likely to be after Fhqwhgads or Everybody to the Limit? The special-cases are rare enough that the way it is now works fine. --phlip TC 04:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

- Well, if it's easily doable, then I think it makes sense to handle it specially in the GM script and delete this redirect (so that fireworks autoredirects to Fireworks). I think people will be looking for Fireworks if they type it in, and if not, they'll have the disambiguation.
