User talk:A Link to the Past: Difference between revisions

::::What I don't get is why people think that we have to link everything as short as possible. Consistency is a better thing to have, because once you get used to it, you do it automatically. So what, when you just type it in the searchbar you can't get there instantaneously. If you've been here for any amount of time at all, you can see '''''<u>they are all</u>''''' at [species name] (Pokémon). Not one of them isn't. All types are at [type name] (type), all moves are at [move name] (move) (both of which, of course, are very helpful due to the fact that several egg groups and TCG types share their names with the elemental types of the games, and definitely in that there is still a chance in future generations for other things to have the same names as moves, as we've seen with [[Double Team (trainer class)]]). Maybe nowhere near the amount as there are of Pokémon, but still. I personally don't have that much trouble with the disambig pages I know are probably there, especially for something like Turtwig, but maybe that's just me. After all, by moving the Pokémon, we'd have to ask "okay, then, should we move the types? And the moves?" And then we'd be hit with a dilemma of whether {{t|Psychic}} or {{m|Psychic}} is more important. And don't just say "oh no we can just make ''that'' the disambiguation, because then we'd have some noob who didn't read the MOS coming in and linking '''''everything''''' with square brackets and having fifteen thousand links to disambiguation pages.  

::::Remember: the point is that the species name pages disambiguate people to all canons. For the handheld game canon specifically, including stats, move lists, locations, and otherwise, it's all at [species name] (Pokémon). You can't just walk in and say "oh, I'm changing policy". Consistency in linking is much better than convenience in searching, especially if all you gotta do is click ''one link''.
