If you really want to spent ours of your life to implement such (imo, unnecessary) feature, who am I to stop you? Everyone sees fun differently. Two things to add on this: this will mess the wiki's Google index a bit (Google stores a limited amount of pages for a certain website, so these redirect pages will somewhat affect the visibility of real game articles); to make the work easier/faster I suggest writing a simple program, which would to take next line from a text file, parse it to URL and page text, start URL (opening another tab in your browser), emulate Alt+Shift+E keypress (or your Linux equivalent), wait until the browser window changes its title to "Creating ...", emulate Tab, put the page text into the clipboard (or your Linux equivalent), emulate Ctrl+V, wait a bit and emulate Alt+Shift+S. I used such simple scripts in the past to make a lot of semi-automatic changes (you can even modify pages this way). 10-15 pages at a time and some manual work in stubborn cases. You can also try and find real robots/crawlers on the internet, I prefer to use my own soft when I can help it. --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 17:19, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, again! As I did not receive a PM answer from seapancake (real life is ever so demanding), I wanted to ask an opinion on what should be done with text inside defunct spoiler tags (ex. [ICO]). The spoiler tag stopped working after the latest update "in the name of security", because the plugin was not "maintained recently" ("you did not waste your time on us recently, we will disable your plugin"). The easiest way for me is to remove the block completely and obviously all the information inside will be lost. As an alternative I could copy the contents to the "comments" column (much trickier but can still automated). What do you think? --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 15:04, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
