User talk:Zesty Cactus/Archive 7: Difference between revisions

Okay, so there has been a {{u|From Beyond the Stars|new user}} going through the list of all redirects and "fixing" every single one alphabetically. The fix hasn't actually been looking at why the redirect may be used instead of the actual page name, and instead just replacing every single redirect simply because it is being used. I've already been hit with this situation because I have a few card pages beginning with punctuation marks, but this user has just made it to the pages beginning with A, which for your purposes are [[ABW01]], [[ABW02]], and so on. (You can see their contributions [[Special:Contributions/From_Beyond_the_Stars|here]].) I was just concerned about all of the ABW epicode changes to PS, because I honestly thought that if you wanted it done, it would have been done in February when the pages started getting moved. It also just seemed inappropriate to me for pages on [[Pokémon Black and White volume 2|the English]] releases of the manga using the Japanese epicode in favor over the English epicodes. (And especially awkward, as now [[Pokémon Black and White volume 4|this page]] says "Rounds included [[PS471]] - [[ABW13]]", which makes absolutely zero sense.) If you would prefer all the links everywhere to be the Japanese PS links, then ignore my message here. I just wanted to bring this to your attention because it does seem like an issue to me.

:Hi Nate, thanks for your message. The ABWXX epicode was only intended for use on a temporary basis, as the rounds had not yet been published in volume format in Japan yet we wanted to create articles for them. Due to the complexity of Adventures's current release in Japan, we didn't know how many rounds the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} would be since it was stopped in magazines and that story was finished only in volume format. So we couldn't start {{chap|Black & White}} articles at PSXXX since we didn't know what number HGSS would stop at until the volumes came out. As the volumes are released, my goal is to transition all the ABWXX epicodes to PSXXX epicodes once we can confirm their sequence in Japan. I don't want to move the rest yet as we don't yet know if they will be compiled in a different sequence in the Japanese volumes (remember, Adventures is serialised in two or three different magazines, so it's confusing as all hell) so while pages like {{Vol|Pokémon Black and White|4}} look a little odd now it will eventually straighten itself out. So for articles like {{Vol|Pokémon Black and White|1}} and the respective rounds, which have all been moved, I'd like them linked to the Japanese round number but they'll still be listed on the volume page in the order they appeared as "Adventure 1" "Adventure 2" etc. Like how [[Electric Tale of Pikachu issue 2]] is really [[ET03]], it's still shown like that as it was the way it was released. Or like [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Red]] or [[Mysterious Mew]] and the like. Anyway, thanks for your concern, I'll keep an eye out for this and try to make it as least confusing as possible ^^' [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 20:43, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
