Hello all,
Let me be the first to say a big thank you for all Wikia's hard work on this
new skin! Looks amazing so far. I can't wait to hear from my community about
it...
With that said, I have found one 'bug' with Monaco. ('bug' or 'design
preference', what have you...)
In the monaco-sidebar, when defining a top-level header, it automatically
links to the page of the same name.
For instance:
*A
**a1|a1text
**a2|a2text
*B|Btext
**b1|b1text
**b2|b2text
A and B are automatically links to [[A]] and [[B]], which may not be
desirable in all cases.
On the Marvel Database, 'Top Content' is a top-level link, but we have no
page called 'Top Content'.
http://en.marveldatabase.com/Top_Content
The easy fix is a redirect, but on those wikis who don't create the
redirects, this could be confusing for fast-fingered new visitors...
In this break-out menuing style, shouldn't we be able to define if each is a
link or not?
Thoughts?
