No, fixed. The problem here (and with Marcel) was due to the way the catalogue import script handled links with different names than their targets. In the catalogue, links were by item number, so you could put any old thing as the name of the link. To avoid broken links to stuff like "Strahd", the script searched for all links to each page and made any that didn't match the name of the page into redirects. If I had known a bit more about the wiki syntax at the time, I would have done one of these instead: [[Count Strahd von Zarovich|Strahd]]. But the damage is done, so you'll find odd stuff like "Crystal" because the catalogue said, " Related to the [[Ceramic Figurine|Ceramic]], [[Crystal Figurine|Crystal]], [[Diamond Figurine|Diamond]], [[Obsidian Figurine|Obsidian]] and [[Porcelain Figurines]]" Some have been fixed since Mistipedia started. You've recently stumbled on a few that hadn't. If you find one in the future, do this: | |||
* click the "what links here" to find the problem link that created the page. Correct it using the <nowiki>[[link|link name]]</nowiki> syntax. | |||
* blank the offending page and put it in [[:Category:Candidate_for_Deletion]] I have a "Watch" on that page and will see it to delete. | |||

But the damage is done, so you'll find odd stuff like "Crystal" because the catalogue said, " Related to the Ceramic, Crystal, Diamond, Obsidian and Porcelain Figurines" Some have been fixed since Mistipedia started. You've recently stumbled on a few that hadn't. If you find one in the future, do this:
- click the "what links here" to find the problem link that created the page. Correct it using the [[link|link name]] syntax.
- blank the offending page and put it in Category:Candidate_for_Deletion I have a "Watch" on that page and will see it to delete.
