Location: I'm lost, let's ask that bald, tall, faceless guy in a business suit.

I've deleted the main page of "Just Another Fool", but I'm not sure about the pages of the characters... I'm not really sure, could someone check it out? Also I've been editing The Operator page, adding differences between it and Slendy, and deleting references of Just Another Fool. I'll do the same with TribeTwelve too, but if someone else can do it, go for it.

By the way, thanks Graved. It's proper use will save people for having the problem that I had.

EDIT: I also think we really need to different pages for Tim and Masky. Again, the wiki should be less subjective and more neutral: people who starts with the series doesn't know Masky is Tim, so being sent to Tim's page when clicking on "Masked Man" is helluva spoiler. But people who knows that they are the same people will have no damn trouble going to two different pages for each one of them.

Wikis are generally references, so in my opinion, spoilers are moot. It is an important plot reveal that Tim is Masky. In this case, an appropriate compromise would be to treat them as separate characters for the purposes of the Wiki (since they seem to be separate personalities in the story as well) and write something in the "Masked Man" article along the lines of, "In Entry ##, the Masked Man is confirmed to be Tim," linking to Tim's article (And doing the same at the appropriate place in Tim's article, linking to the Masked Man).

Yes, of course, I don't mean to treat them as two different characters with no relation at all, but at least you can decide what you read (knowing the risk of spoilers) when they are two different pages. But clicking on "Masked Man" trying to read something about him and being redirected to Tim's page is a damn hit in the face.

That is why I suggested the cross-linking compromise.

Big reminder people: If you rename an article, make sure you check and fix any dependencies (i.e., articles that link to the article that you are changing).

Okay, Zarggg. With all honesty, was it me? I don't remember having renamed any article but I may be wrong. I did changed some hyperlinks which said "Masked Man" and linked to Tim, but I don't think that is what you are reffering to.

I don't remember who did the edit, but when one of the TTA video articles was renamed to remove the "-video" part (which really isn't necessary, except for "Operator"), the articles that linked to that page weren't fixed.

There's an option under "Dependencies" that allows you to have Wikidot try to fix them automatically.

Yeah, that was me. I forgot to check the box to update dependencies for two or three of the pages. I tried to fix the links, but I must have missed some of the broken links. Sorry.

Yeah, no problem. I just asked so if it was me I wouldn't make the same mistake again. Sorry for not having wote anything this last days, I still need to do the Masked Team and Tunnel articles, but I don't really have the time.

Just to update you guys, someone was messing around with the main page and The Operators page, and added spam links. I cleared them up, but be on the lookout.

We've gone mainstream...

I don't think that's the first time it's happened.

I really wish Wikidot had a way for me to get email (or RSS) updates every time an edit is done, like MediaWiki does. Sad

Holy crap. Thanks to whoever user kwi25 is. Great idea summarizing the events of the entries in the timeline, as well.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to do it on my own; I know I asked for help, but I didn't want to push the load onto anyone. It's my own fault that I started something without being able to finish it timely.

I am curious how you got distinct upload times for the YouTube videos, however.

It's OK, Zarggg, I haven't made the tunnel and masky team's pages yet.
