Recent redirects
I see that you have redirected several Immibis Advanced Machines pages to Title (Immibis), what is the reason for this? Pages should only have (Mod Name) if there is another item with the exact name. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 04:29, 18 July 2014 (BST)
 * I think its more informative to have the content on "Array Solar Panel (Immibis)" rather than "Array Solar Panel". You see at a glance which mod it is from. I also added a bunch of redirects so that if you look for "Array Solar Panel" it should lead you to "Array Solar Panel (Immibis)" so it shouldn't matter to the end user anyway. Besides, this way there is no possibility for conflicts if some mod decides to add some item with the same name. I think it makes more sense to have the content on Title(Mod) and have Title redirect to Title(Mod) instead of having the content on Title and have Title(Mod) redirect to Title. Not sure if i'm explaining myself well here. Either way, if you want, I'll move the content around.--Black3agl3 (talk) 04:51, 18 July 2014 (BST)


 * I get what you mean, but that doesn't mean it makes sense :P the mod name is already in the infobox, and should be in the lead section as well if it is a well written article. Look on wikipedia and you'll see that only pages that are disambiguated have the (stuff) bit. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 06:18, 18 July 2014 (BST)


 * Lol...

 * Then you have some pages that are called Stuff(Mod) and Stuff. I personally prefer either everything to follow a similar naming convention. Having all content on Stuff(Mod) and then Stuff be either a redirect or a disambiguation page is better imo. Plus if some mod decides to add some item with a similar name, the wiki maintainer for that mod simply has to make a new page with item(mod) and not have to worry about whether it is going to clash with some other mod. Also, if some external website links to the page, I think its better to have them link to Stuff(Mod) rather than Stuff which might become some disambiguation page later on.
 * But then again, both ways work. I just prefer the way that is "future-proof" if that makes any sense. I hope I got my point across cause I tend to have lots of trouble putting my point of view in words for other people to understand. --Black3agl3 (talk) 20:20, 18 July 2014 (BST)


 * Again, I still understand what you mean, but it is very redundant. We had something similar to this in the past before we had tilesheets and used grid icons, we had to list duplicated things as "Copper (TE)" etc. Anyway, since the wiki has been around for almost/more than two years already, it wouldn't work to move every single page to "Name (Mod Name)". It would also duplicate our number of articles, and as such would be a lie. It would also waste space on the server. We only have 20GB on our server, and have used 7 or so already. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 22:08, 18 July 2014 (BST)


 * "It would also duplicate our number of articles" From what I have seen so far, most articles do have two pages. It is simply a matter of which one of the two pages contains the actual content and which one contains the redirect.
 * "We only have 20GB on our server, and have used 7 or so already." I am no webmaster but I'd say the space used up is more because of images than because of redirect pages and article content.
 * "Anyway, since the wiki has been around for almost/more than two years already, it wouldn't work to move every single page to "Name (Mod Name)"." Of course moving all of them at once wouldn't do, but if you decide to change the naming scheme, in the space of two years or so, most important articles can be gradually moved. Like I said earlier, most articles I have come across do have two pages eventually leading to the same content. As such, this will simply be a sort of "behind-the-scenes" change. It doesn't actually affect either wiki editors or end users all that much.
 * I just think that having the content on Stuff(Mod) is better since you are almost certain the page won't ever be moved again. --Black3agl3 (talk) 08:19, 19 July 2014 (BST)


 * At least wait till we migrate to Gamepedia before you start spamming the recent changes log by moving 500+ articles. :P

 * He would be risking a block for that. He'd need to be in the bot group, or have an account in the bot group to do it. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 07:00, 20 July 2014 (BST)
