English

Hey. I don't know if you've ever come across the Languages category, recently created, but it already includes 2 articles. (Awesome, right?) Alienese isn't really a language, so...

When you replaced the link to the unexisting English article (which should've been a link to the also unexisting English language article) with a link to Wikipedia awhile ago, you were doing a good thing, but I'm wondering if you don't mind that I put it back the way it was. Just in case another Infospherian decides to create it. Sanfazer 23:47, 13 February 2011 (CET)

Feel free Teyrn of Highever 23:53, 13 February 2011 (CET)
Done. Teyrn of Highever 23:57, 13 February 2011 (CET)
Thanks. "Why so serious", right? Sanfazer 00:01, 14 February 2011 (CET)

The Infosphere (website)

From what I understand, this should only be done when you overhaul an article. It's kind of similar to "changing English variant for the sake of doing so", one thing you've been fighting for some time. I'm not telling you this because I want to undo the edit. Just to let you know. Sanfazer 20:02, 2 March 2011 (CET)

Not quite sure how creating a link could be considered changing the English variant. Thanks for the advice though. Teyrn of Highever 20:37, 2 March 2011 (CET)
I said that it's kind of similar to, not that it's considered changing the English variant. Much like the English variant, the use of [[Brainspawn|Brainspawn's]] (Brainspawn's) over [[Brainspawn]]'s (Brainspawn's) is a matter of choice, so it's something which you shouldn't just alter. And you didn't create a link. You turned an existing link into a piped link. (When there was actually no need, though this is not a problem.) Sanfazer 00:06, 3 March 2011 (CET)
