	A lot of the pages you're de-wikia-fying were actually redirects prior to the Great Bookworm Screwup Of March. Might be a good idea to look back and make sure the pages you fixed up hadn't been moved elsewhere between June 2008 and March 2009. I don't really feel like going through all your contributions and doing it on my own here. --[[User:Detour\|Detour]] 20:21, 24 March 2009 (EDT)		A lot of the pages you're de-wikia-fying were actually redirects prior to the Great Bookworm Screwup Of March.

	::Well, redirects are how typing in or linking to <nowiki>[[Optimus Prime]]</nowiki> actually takes you to [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)]]. Now from June 2008 to March 2009... that's a long time. We've had new characters come along with the same names as old favorites, or general concensus has made a change in how we disambiguate things. So while we've been importing Google cache of our current articles, the pages that were now little more than redirects have been left as is, in their June 2008 status... so pages like <nowiki>[[Ratbat]]</nowiki> (which are supposed to redirect to [[Ratbat (G1)]] because of the addition of [[Ratbat (TransTech)]]) were now back to being as they were in June 2008 (ie, an article about G1 Ratbat). It's nice that you're trying to remove these linkbacks to Wikia, but we restored most of our pages using Google Cache (seems to me there are some D's, E's, N's, O's and P's missing, though...), so if you do find an article with a Wikia linkback, it might be a good idea to make sure it isn't a page intended to be a redirect or a deleted article. --[[User:Detour\|Detour]] 23:40, 24 March 2009 (EDT)		::Well, redirects are how typing in or linking to <nowiki>[[Optimus Prime]]</nowiki> actually takes you to [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)]].

	A lot of the pages you're de-wikia-fying were actually redirects prior to the Great Bookworm Screwup Of March. Might be a good idea to look back and make sure the pages you fixed up hadn't been moved elsewhere between June 2008 and March 2009. I don't really feel like going through all your contributions and doing it on my own here. --[[User:Detour\|Detour]] 20:21, 24 March 2009 (EDT)		A lot of the pages you're de-wikia-fying were actually redirects prior to the Great Bookworm Screwup Of March.

	::Well, redirects are how typing in or linking to [[Optimus Prime]] actually takes you to [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)]]. Now from June 2008 to March 2009... that's a long time. We've had new characters come along with the same names as old favorites, or general concensus has made a change in how we disambiguate things. So while we've been importing Google cache of our current articles, the pages that were now little more than redirects have been left as is, in their June 2008 status... so pages like [[Ratbat]] (which are supposed to redirect to [[Ratbat (G1) because of the addition of [[Ratbat (TransTech)]]) were now back to being as they were in June 2008 (ie, an article about G1 Ratbat). It's nice that you're trying to remove these linkbacks to Wikia, but we restored most of our pages using Google Cache (seems to me there are some D's, E's, N's, O's and P's missing, though...), so if you do find an article with a Wikia linkback, it might be a good idea to make sure it isn't a page intended to be a redirect or a deleted article. --[[User:Detour\|Detour]] 23:40, 24 March 2009 (EDT)		::Well, redirects are how typing in or linking to [[Optimus Prime]] actually takes you to [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)]].
