Help talk:Contents

Youtube Tag

I am not sure how to handle this, but "Help," which redirects here, is now a tag in Intervention. Do I make a disambig page? Or er, cancel out the redirect? (Although, I think having help redirect here is smart...) or um, just add the Tag template to the bottom of this page? Yeah, as I said, I wasn't sure how to handle this, so advice would be appriciated. Thanks. --Zoey 16:59, 2 May 2007 (CDT)

You could used Template:One other use - using Help, creating a standard tag-page on it, and putting {{One other use||LGPedia's help pages|Help:Contents}} at the top of the page.

...but I'm not sure how responsible it is to de-link a mnemonic help-link for a one-off tag...

Possibly a better solution would be to edit this page, and put

:"Help" redirects here. For the tag used in the episode Intervention, see Help (tag).

- then create a standard tag page at Help (tag).

I'm not sure if I understand why it would be bad to have a one other use template? Because if I make help (tag), every time the tag was used (it has been a few times I learned) someone would have to KNOW to redirect it to the (tag) page. So yeah, wouldn't the one other use thing be the best option? Or.. am I wrong? Not 100% sure about how the templates work really... and hey, that's why I asked :)--Zoey 00:28, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

The point is, the "one other use" template would (logically, at least) have to go on Help, and then say there is one other use for "Help", that being the LGPedia-help at Help:Contents.

That is entirely correct. What's problematic about it is that "Help", right now, works instictively: You are on LGPedia, need help, and just go to Help and everything is fine. If you de-link that by turning Help into a page about the tag "Help", the already-confused user will be even more confused when the page "Help" does not actually provide help, but talks about some weird tag.

On the other hand, putting One Other Use here isn't actually correct, 'cause this page isn't "Help" - it's Help:Contents. Hence my suggestion above - the text acknowledges that "Help" redirects to "Help:Contents", informing someone looking for the tag where to go to find it, while at the same time keeping the Help-link intact.

Just to make sure you understand me correctly: I see your point, and you are technically correct. But it boild down to a question of usability: The drawback of having to link each instance of the tag "Help" to "Help (tag)" is smaller than the drawback of having to inform every single user that the page "Help" is not actually the help-page.
