Talk:Dead End (WFC)
From MediaWiki
His name is actually parsed "Deadend" in the game. But "Deadend" already exists, and it redirects to Jolt (Movie). So...? --NCZ 20:52, 16 November 2010 (EST)
- "Deadend (Prime)"? ---Blackout- 02:04, 17 November 2010 (EST)
- No, Blackout. Delete "Deadend" and move this there. —Interrobang 08:12, 17 November 2010 (EST)
- Wouldn't "Deadend (Movie)" need to be created to redirect to Jolt, just like "Dead End (Movie)" already does because both are official names for that character? This would then have to be "Deadend (Prime)". "Deadend" would probably redirect to this character by rule of prominence. --Khajidha 08:26, 17 November 2010 (EST)
- There is no point whatsoever to doing that. There's no actual name conflict, because the two pages are going to have different names either way. (Redirects with parentheses are fucking stupid, because readers are not going to type them in.) —Interrobang 08:47, 17 November 2010 (EST)
- Didn't the debate go against you on this point on Talk: Jolt (Movie)? From what I've seen redirects with parentheses ARE used, which is why I brought up the ones I did. If you think they SHOULDN'T be, we need to enlarge this discussion. --Khajidha 08:51, 17 November 2010 (EST)
- We have a pop-down list of links for the search box now, you know. Redirects clutter it and push off actual pages. Never mind the fact that you didn't respond to my main point or the sheer improbability of somebody typing in "Deadend (Movie)" based on a bit character in a ROTF novel. —Interrobang 09:05, 17 November 2010 (EST)
- My point is that by the rules currently in place the redirects I mentioned should exist. Your main point is that such redirects should not exist because readers won't use them. If we are to debate that premise, this needs to go somewhere besides an individual article. --Khajidha 09:10, 17 November 2010 (EST)
- Further discussion in Community Portal. - Starfield 12:12, 18 November 2010 (EST)

New Bio information
Hey guys, in-hand photos of the toy and package have popped up on a few sites (specifically, TFW2005), with his (toy) bio fully legible. I forget, what's our standards and practices on when it's acceptable to add this information to the wiki page? Is this stuff considered 'leaked' info? Can it be added, or do we still have to wait for the toy to hit shelves? --Boy Blunderous 01:18, 30 May 2012 (EDT)
