I am not 100% sure if I'm posting this in the right part of the forums, but that's not as important right now.

What is important is that when the wiki changed its layout yesterday, I noticed that bluelinks everywhere started to not show up with their custom wikiwording (so, for instance, Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning shows up without the apostrophe in the word "Baldi's", and all of the words that shouldn't be capitalized in that title, such as "in", show up capitalized). On top of that, links that lead to disambiguation pages show up as redlinks instead of bluelinks as usual (at least, on actual wiki pages; I just tried to provide a disambiguation page to Toy Story as an example, but it kept showing up as a bluelink).

Not only that, but apparently the list of live-action TV shows that need summary displays all of the redlinks on that list as bluelinks. Congratulations, random glitch, you just made it 10 times harder for me to tell if any of those shows have pages or not. By the way, as far as I know, that's the only Summary page affected by that odd bug.

I can't tell for sure if the "redlink disambigs" problem was intentional (probably not), but the "all redlinks in Live-Action TV Summary page show up as bluelinks" and "screw these custom wikiwords" problems are most certainly not intentional. I just wanted to point these out since nobody seems to have pointed them out (and apologies if I missed anyone else who did point it out beforehand), and I hope the fine folks over at TV Tropes can fix them as soon as possible.
