For YMMV to work correctly, it screws up as an index.

Okay, for something to get the YMMV red dot, it needs to be on the index. But that screws up the index at bottom of the page. For example, Crossover Ship is right next to Main.Crowning Moment Of Awesome, so it jumps you all the way to Moment Of Awesome, which is eleven letters off.

That's because they're wrong on the index page. Redirects should not be listed on the index page, that is, Crowning Moment Of Awesome should no longer be on that index. I've fixed it and all the other wrongly placed redirects.

Actually, they need to be there, beacuse if not, no red dot, as shown here.

Yeah, we either have to put the redirect on the YMMV index or watch the redirects pile up on the main page.

Hmmm. Ok, after some dinking around, I think the only solution for right now is to cluster all the redirects together at the end of the index, so the they'll be listed on the index bar after YMMV, rather than scattered all through the list bouncing you back and forth from C to M, or back to exactly the same page you were on before...

That generates the red dot, and most folks are going to suspect something is up when they get to Y and then start again at C.

Nope, that doesn't work either.

Damn.

Could we do what was suggested before, create a page for YMMV redirects that applies the coding but doesn't show up on normal spaces.

[up] That sounds like a good idea.

Would we have to get Fast Eddie to make the page?

Ask him, and explain why it would be a good idea for him to write it. Then wait for him to get a chance to write it...

I PM'd Eddie and asked him to make a page. I recommend YMMV Redirects.

Eddie responded and said YMMV Redirects is active.
