Redirects

Hey Lacky, thanks for adding those redirects. As an FYI, some redirects are no longer needed, as the search bar will automatically test to see if all lower-cased words could also be upper-case. For example: Typing "festive moa" into the search bar will find Festive Moa, even though there is no redirect.

On the other hand, this search bar cannot handle a mixed case, so "game updates:february 2007" won't find Game updates:February 2007 because it tries to capitalize "updates" in its additional search. This has now been updated. Searches handle mixed cases. G R E E N E R 14:48, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Hey Greener, thank you for the info! I wasn't aware of that, I put them in as I had manually typed in the URL for them and they didn't work/automatically redirect, hence why I created them. I wonder if the in-game /wiki command would yield the same results as how the search bar automatically brings up the correct article, or if it needs to be correct capitalisation as well (similar to manually typing in the URL)? I haven't tried it personally but would be good to know. -- My Talk Lacky 04:57, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
The /wiki from gw runs the request through the search bar, so yes, it will work :) G R E E N E R 06:44, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Brilliant, thank you for that! :) -- My Talk Lacky 10:19, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
