What do you mean "duplicated wicks"? Those are different indexes, and Dishonored 2 just happens to always be in between Dishonored and Dishonored Death of the Outsider.

Uhh... That's how alphabetization works?

There don't seem to be duplicate indexes, if anyone was wondering?

Im confused by what you mean. These works are sequels to each other. So theyll be grouped together and hence why dishonered 2 would be in between dishonered and death of the outsider.

In the link I posted, there are 17 links to Dishonored in the first column (Previous). Is this supposed to be normal?

Yes. It's just before Dishonored 2 in those indexes. That's how it works. Those aren't wicks.

Is anybody using the previous/next feature outside of navigating across episode pages? To me this looks like a needlessly bloated footer section.

You're not wrong about bloat, though I'd say it's down to height and not width. But it does seem like all the indexes are legitimate places to list Dishonored, which is more than I can say for some other index sections I've seen. (...Maybe ZeroPunctuation.Reviewed Games doesn't need to be an index. And there are two separate Dishonored franchise links, one for the actual page and one for a redirect; that should be fixed.)

^ - Can't fix the duplicate index with a null edit. It seems like it'll need a mod to edit the page type.

Or an edit to stop the redirect, fix the page type, then reinstate it.

^Temporarily removing the redirect, tweaking the page type, and putting the redirect back has worked for me. Just tweaking the page type alone seems to work for non-redirect pages that aren't supposed to index, but are anyway.

As I brought up before, both VideoGame.Final Fantasy and Franchise.Final Fantasy index even though the former is a redirect to the latter. On some pages like Final Fantasy X-2, the indexes appear entirely different, and the Franchise page includes consoles in the index.

VideoGame.Capcom Vs and VideoGame.Capcom Vs Whatever have the same problem. And on a related note, Anddrix's Sonic the Hedgehog Sandboxes (Sandbox.Sonic The Hedgehog Franchise and Sandbox.Sonic The Hedgehog Video Games) are showing up alongside the actual Franchise.Sonic The Hedgehog in index lists.
