Redirect to Spoilers Page

Hi, Xmuskrat. I redirected the link to "Episode 12" on Hiro and the Dinosaur (painting) to the Spoiler:Godsend because the episode hasn't aired yet. Even though you and I know the episode hasn't aired yet, we get lots of visitors that aren't as familiar with the show as we are. I wouldn't want anybody to get the wrong impression that they missed an episode, or that something happened that they missed. I'm going to change it back now because that info really is a spoiler still. Thanks for understanding. :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:27, 8 January 2007 (EST)

I totally understand. But you actually might bring more people to the spoiler that way. If somebody clicks on the words "Episode 12" do they expect that they will go to the page that shows episode 12 of heroes, or to the episode 12 spoilers page? So by changing the link, you're just making another link to the spoilers page. In fact, how can somebody tell through the text "Episode 12" that they are even going to a spoilers page at all? --Xmuskrat 16:32, 8 January 2007 (EST)

You make a great point. I feel funny directing to an empty page, but let me see if I can work on the wording. Thanks. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:51, 8 January 2007 (EST)

My only goal there was to try to let people know that episode 12 was the next episode coming up. Just to let them know they'd get an answer to the dinosaur thing in this next upcoming episode. Maybe we should re-write the note on the dino page, and have a link to the spoilers page with the rest of Masi's quote. --Xmuskrat 16:54, 8 January 2007 (EST)

No you're right, the wording is okay the way it is. I just fixed the link back, and you're right - it's better to go to Godsend rather than the spoiler page. There's a link to the spoilers page on Godsend. Thanks! :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:51, 8 January 2007 (EST)

Hi! The syntax to link a category is the following : [[:Category:whatyouwant]]. Thanks for your contributions. --FrenchFlo(talk)(contribs) 17:04, 25 March 2007 (EDT)i
