I am getting a bot that going to do all the archiving. I am getting the source code for it now. :D [[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 14:16, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

:Oh, that'd be nice. I liked doing it nonetheless. BTW, I think I've archived pretty much everything by now, the largest non-archived page being [[User talk:April Arcus]] ;) --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 14:18, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

:Also, you might wanna know the MediaWiki folks are [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API working on a better API] so bots won't have to dig through HTML responses any more. It's not finished yet, but when it is, it'll make a bot programmer's life a lot easier. I'm intending to write a bot that uses the new API (after I've helped finishing the API itself, of course), and your ArchiveBot just gave me an idea for another feature ;) --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 14:41, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

Generally though, I think we try to link directly to correct sites and not use redirect links even if they are easier. You did with [[Galactica]] vs [[Galactica (RDM)]] for example. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:59, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

:The point here is that we can be fairly sure that [[Galactica (RDM)]] will always end up linking to the right page, no matter what crazy stunts we decide to pull. [[Galactica]] may not redirect there forever. Same with [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol#Virgon]] vs. [[Virgon (RDM)]]: the latter is guaranteed to be right and stay right, whereas the former is not. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 06:01, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
