Weird Twilight problem

I was testing out all the subpages now that Twilight is a disambig page. When I went to the headscratchers link, it appeared that the page was so long it was split into two parts, with the original page redirecting to page 2. That page includes a link to page 1 that was broken by the namespace name change. When I tried to fix it, I found it would just redirect to the current page, and that the first page is blank. It's not even in the history. What gives?

Looks like Twilight2 was also blanked. This doesn't bother me if it's an admin decision, as it was really, really whiniy, but I'd've like to have seen something in this thread.

ETA: Wait a minute. The page is still there, but the redirect is trying to go to the Just Bugs Me name space. This is weird.

My advice would be to cut it down to the proper question and answer setup, kill the whining, and put that all back on the main Headscratchers Page. I'd do it immediately, but since Eddie blanked it, I'd appreciate a mod comment or at least a bunch of tropers.

So instead I made it a sandbox page: Sandbox.Twilight Headscratcher.

Moved to TRS.

Not really sure what's going on here, and whether this is a problem with Headscratchers or the page itself.

Oh, it's just the page. I think I got it basically figured out. Based on what I saw on the second page, there was probably a lot of complaining on the first page, and probably some edit wars. Since there was already a second page, Eddie must have converted it to redirect and locked the first page. However, during the move, the page lost its locked status, and the redirect pointed to the wrong name space.

I personally think it's been long enough that we should pull out all the complaining (which I did to the best of my abilities), and put that on the main Twilight headscratchers page. I added a warning which should help, but it may be a bit too harsh, and I want approval first.

I think that, since Twilight is finally fading in popularity, and we have the new namespace, we should see if we can keep the new page open. When the final movie comes out, it will be a good test to see if the new name (and removed complaining) works.

What do you guys think?

Okay, since no one else seems to care, I finalized the rewrite, and, hopefully gave a more lighthearted spin to us not wanting a ton of complaints.

If a wondering Mod comes by and thinks it's been long enough for this page to be closed, have at it. There's no banner, so I'm not in any rush.

I'm fine with it. It looks alot better without all the complaining. Of and if you don't mind, we could use a bit of cleaning up with the Headscratchers.Justin Bieber page too while you're at it, another page this same Hate Dumb tends to complain at.
