Not too important, but driving me insane

Postby Mikertaz Kein » Wed Sep 30, 2009 11:01 pm

The WA is currently under the page 'http://www.nationstates.net/page=un'.

Now, while this is EXTREMELY UNIMPORTANT to most people, I have noticed it. Why is the page referring to the non-existent UN? A rewrite or something can be made to where it would say http://www.nationstates.net/page=WA or http://www.nationstates.net/WA.

Like I said, relatively unimportant but noticed. Been bugging me for weeks!

Not to be an asshole, but; source?

Additionally, it is merely the end of the url, it has no need to even be related to in-game global organization, I'd say: deal with it.

Who cares? Why don't you ask the admins to change the issues page from www.nationstates.net/page=dilemmas to ....../page=issues, then?

Um... because the Bureaucracy-That-Is-Not-To-Be-Named , and its team of thoroughly educated lawyers aren't going to descend from the sky with a cease & desist order for the usage of 'dilemmas'. ;)

We spotted this at the time of the WA changeover, and were told it was in too many places to recode conveniently.

Somebody also made the point that "probably no one will care". We clearly underestimated our audience.

How about a redirect? http://www.nationstates.net/page=wa would simply redirect to http://www.nationstates.net/page=un .

That seems somewhat pointless, unless of course the United Nations decided that it has ownership over the prefix "un". I smell the internet trial of the Century. Max Barry vs. the United Nations.
It's ok! You can trust me! I've been Commended!

Well, if we could get all of the people who use NS to fight with Max, we may outnumber the UN

DEATH TO UN!!! :twisted:

I always considered the WA "un" link a one fingered salute to the RL UN's humourless demand that Max stop using their moniker.

Doesn't bug me at all. I for one occasionally vote with one finger, too.
