Page renames

Hello, thank you for your contributions I can tell you're very dedicated. However I have to inform you that your recent changes to location articles need to be reverted, it's possible by the time you see this that someone has already taken care of it. In most cases (and especially Yume 2kki) changing world names is something that needs to be contacted about first. Additionally, these changes will break expeditions due to name mismatches in Yume Nikki Online as the website relies on this wiki's data for some of the features to work properly. Perhaps we can improve the wording in the style guide to ensure this doesn't happen in the future, for now I ask you to revert the name changes. Thank you.

Sorry about that, I can revert them. Here's the list of names I've changed; should I revert all of them, or are there any I should keep?

• The Baddies Bar
• The Gutter
• The Circus
• The Deciding Street
• The Hand Hub
• The Invisible Maze
• The Desktop
• The Slums
• The Second Nexus
• The Magic Nexus

I'll be sure to ask before making mass changes in the future. IStoleThePies (talk) 04:30, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

It's unfortunate this misunderstanding caused a lot of wasted time. The dedication is really impressive. Opening a discussion somewhere like the community page before doing such large tasks sounds like a good idea to me. I updated the Style Guide section to include more information on both indefinite articles and official names. Volvulus had added the section explaining Yume 2kki's naming polls. As for the changes to page links, they should ideally be reverted too. Am I correct in assuming the edits cannot be simply reverted as some of them have grammatical fixes? Either way it's a lot of manual work. --ZASNK (talk) 04:46, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I used AutoWikiBrowser, a tool that lets you automatically find/replace text or detect typos across a MediaWiki wiki. In principle I just need to replace all the changed names with their original ones. It'll probably take me a couple of hours given all the variations, but I'll be sure to double check they're correct. IStoleThePies (talk) 04:54, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I think that should be everything, aside from my move from Yume 2kki:The Magic Nexus/Evolution of The Magic Nexus to Yume 2kki:The Magic Nexus/Evolution of the Magic Nexus (an admin will have to undo that). Sorry about all that, let me know if you see anything that slipped through or isn't working right. IStoleThePies (talk) 06:53, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
