I guess you have to correct the spelling for a link or title. No one is likely to search under the Morporkian (mis)spelling. Again, I wonder if there's anything to be said about it to justify the link at all. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 22:40, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

The recent edits create a lot of red links that are likely to stay red, and while I don't remember the reference, I'll bet Thighbiter's book title contains a "long s" (ſ), not an "f". --Old Dickens 21:07, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I think it is supposed to be a "long s". Should it just be an "s", then?
And yeah, a lot of the links are likely to stay red for a while (or forever), but I'm making them links so as to make it easier to create the article linked to (if one would be created). And if said character/location/thing doesn't deserve an article, then the link can be removed in the future... anyway, a lot of other books have similar red links- The Colour of Magic used to have a lot, but I've created a lot of articles where there is appropriate information.

If anything definitely doesn't seem to justify a link, I'll remove it- I already removed a lot of the links to kings and architects (who we know nothing about), and to the book you mentioned and some other concepts. TC01 19:20, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
