Bulk update ... :
1. Wikia
announced some upcoming changes to the global navbar, namely, that it'll get shrunk to 7/8 the height and turn inverted+transparent when you scroll down the page (example
at page top and
scrolled down screenshots). On the flip side, they seem to have the "start a wikia" button and the user menu switch places, so you'll find yourself founding Yet Another Wikia (tm) when you actually wanted to log in.
(No further news on the
revamped article layout a.k.a. Venus so far.)
2. More than half of the
Kastrup article is taken up by the description of the building our heroes are currently at, which IMHO suggests splitting it off into an article of its own. However, we still don't have a name other than "spot 24" for it. Any suggestions ... ?
3. No comment or worthwhile activity around the
Dalahästen giant article since I dropped all sorts of "needs improvement" markers on it almost two months ago. Quite frankly, I don't see anything in it that we'ld want to move into another article, or preserve otherwise - it's a renarration of the comic top to bottom. Agree to wholesale delete ... ?
4. Speaking of deletions, in this case of
redirects, may I repeat my suggestion to:
*
delete the singular-to-plural ones (Beast, Giant, Skald, Troll),
*
delete the first-to-full-name ones (Lalli, Tuuri),
*
delete the three "RedirectionToCategory ..." ones (I replaced them with working
direct links in the templates),
*
discuss whether to keep the article-ful or article-less version of "(The) Paddlewheeler" and "(The) Timbercruiser",
*
discuss whether we want to create "XYZ (disambiguation)" redirects to every (currently only one) disambiguation page "XYZ" (like Wikipedia does) to avoid the phony "lonely page" listings,
*
keep the fifteen ASCII-to-special-characters redirects (as they're the only way for users who can't type in the special characters to search for the affected articles), and, of course,
*
keep the "Main Page" redirection (part of a Wikia wiki's essential infrastructure).
