Doebler

The title for Ludwig Döbler needs to be fixed, but in addition, Ludwig Döbler and Ludwig Leopold Doebler need merging. Thanks much, Lucas Cray 00:19, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Done. Thanks, Joe P. 00:35, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Princess Tenko

Hi, I created a page for Princess Tenko, but it has some errors that need to be fixed. Thanks, Rolando1121 01:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

We don't have all the templates that Wikipedia has. Just need to be removed and replaced with text. Joe P. 01:45, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Distorted statistics

I'm starting to wonder if the PH-template is such a good idea...

The statistics at the "Most linked-to pages" are now extremely skewed and distored: http://geniimagazine.com/wiki/index.php/Special:MostLinkedPages

For example, Portable Smoke looks like an extremely important piece of magic history, since it has 115 pages that links to it. Paul Harris effects not included in AoA is equally impressive.

But all of those links are from the PH-template. Take away those, and Portable Smoke has no links at all. Isn't it desirable that the statistics should reflect only "real" and natural linkage?

Is it possible to change something in the PH-template, so that it doesn't distort the statistics? Or in the whole template function, so that links in a template doesn't affect statistical results?

Just curious. TStone 08:46, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm wondering if that is why Wikipedia has turned that special page turned off: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MostLinkedPages. I'll look into more and see. Joe P. 13:18, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Modernism in Pasteboard

Hey Joe, the book Modernism in Pasteboards is actually titled Modernism in Pasteboard. Is there an easy way to fix this and all related pages?

Not really, but I'll fix it. Joe P. 23:06, 16 January 2015 (EST)

Thanks, and one more thing

Whenever I direct my browser to a MagicPedia page with a foreign character (e.g. Gibecière), it directs me to https://geniimagazine.com/account/

I can get to the page for Gibecière by going to Gibeciere, though...

I've seen that too. I think it's something on the Genii server blocking it. I sent an email to the admin.
I took a look around myself and think I fixed it (let me know), but need to verify with admin that my fix is not breaking something else on Genii servers.


Main page link

Joe, How do I add a link under a headline like this: "Main page: XXXXXX" I tried using {{main|... but I think we're missing the template? Roatc 16:39, 21 January 2015 (EST)

I'm not really sure what you mean. Can you give me another example or just try it somewhere (even if it does not work) ? Joe P. 17:34, 21 January 2015 (EST)
Just saw where you did it. Did you find that on Wikipedia? I'll need to bring that template over. Joe P.
