Link Pages

So if I go to the warrior page and click night elf if gives a completely different description then the Night Elf link from the main menu. So my questions is how do you link pages??

I looked into this. It appears there are two different night elf pages: Night elf and Night Elf (note the capital "e"). The information from one page needs to be cross-referenced with the other and converted to a re-direct. I can do this myself when I have time, if someone doesn't beat me to it first. In case you're interested yourself, here is some info on Redirects. :)

Awesome thanks for the info, I saw even the tauren pages are different, well gives me something to do at work

When I first created the wiki, there was actually like 4 pages for night elves, Night Elf, Night elf, Night elf (playable), and Night Elf (Playable). I've been working on making every racial page the same as their actual name without any stupid parenthetical, which is why there's multiple Night Elf pages. Night Elf is the appropriate page, and I just never finished using the other page resources, which is why I didn't delete them. At some point, Night elf (playable) should disappear, and Night Elf should be the only remaining page. And this is because of the template system I created for races and classes to disambiguate sections of those topics. -Emhilradim (talk) 23:13, April 11, 2015 (UTC)

And I see now that I never actually got around to making the template system for the races yet... Woops. -Emhilradim (talk) 23:15, April 11, 2015 (UTC)
Alright, I put in the race template system. I'm probably going to expand it with another 4 links, just like classes, for a total of 8 tabs. I've already got an idea for 3 of the tab names, just need a 4th. In the end, I'd like to merge the contents of all the Race and Race (Playable) pages together, and then put in disambiguation pages for offchutes of races (i.e. the player races are the focus, and then if someone wants to read about say Zandalari trolls, they can go to a Troll disambiguation page). It's been a bit of a pain in the ass to get the race_info page working quite right, but I'm glad that it finally does. Probably way better solutions than I went through, but I don't want to rewrite the templates again, I feel the more times you rewrite a template, the more chances you promote for a critical failure of its functionality.
