WGU adds

I found another one. I don't know exactly what you need, so here's the offending code.

<!-- ADSERVER right --><div id="column-google-right"><SCRIPT language="JavaScript">bannerid="WSBL2073";</script> <!--AdRevolver code begin--> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> <!-- var rnd = Math.round(Math.random()*10000000); document.writeln('<IFRAME src="http://media.adrevolver.com/adrevolver/banner?place=20302&cpy='+rnd+'" width=160 height=600 scrolling=no allowtransparency=true frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0></IFRAME>'); //--> </SCRIPT> <!--AdRevolver code end--></div>

Aargh. It looks like that's coming through from two sources. I'm working with the ad guy right now to make sure that we get it off. I'll let you know what I find out... -- Danny (talk) 17:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

On redirects to categories

I don't believe we have any rules on having pages in the main namespace redirecting to categories, but it probably isn't a good idea since most categories have an article with the same name or will at some point (e.g, Activision) --FortMax 19:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I think redirects to categories can be really helpful. As I was just poking around the site, I was trying to find the Books category, but searching for "Books" gave me kind of a random selection of article titles. I think that's a common experience -- people often use the search box to help them navigate around the site, and they won't necessarily go to the main page to find the major categories.
But obviously, I'm new to this site, so if those are inappropriate, I can take them out. I just wanted to explain my rationale for creating them. Do you think other folks on the wiki would have a comment about it? I could bring it up on the community portal. -- Danny (talk) 20:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Until the event that we create any of those pages for real, I think they'll be quite helpful. --ItsWalky 21:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Break template

We have a {{-}} template that encapsulates <br clear="all">. JW 20:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
