Old UN Page header

Postby Charlotte Ryberg » Thu Mar 11, 2010 11:01 am

http://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_repeal

Primarily a cosmetic issue, but in repeal submission forms, I've discovered that the title of the page read "NationStates | UN Repeal", where it should read "NationStates | WA Repeal".

Please fix, thanks.

No one ever bothered to "fix" this link, so I don't see it coming...

As long as we're listing UN-specific links, here's two more:

http://www.nationstates.net/page=list_nations/un=UN
http://www.nationstates.net/page=faq#UN

I'm sure it's a coding related issue - and since it's purely cosmetic, I agree with SP in that it's unlikely to be changed.

It was kept that way purposely, to stick it to the RL UN. At least that's what Fris said earlier. If I can find the post I'll link it.

Ugh, changing it will require editing many offsite links. Unless the actual UN complains, I don't see the need for a change.

I think Charlotte Ryberg is talking about the page title, not the url. Depending on what browser you're using, you'll probably see something at the very top of your browser saying "NationStates | UN Repeal" when on the repeal page. Compare that to the WA page, where the title is "NationStates | The World Assembly".

Um, I see. That alone would be fine, although I don't see much of a point. That said, wouldn't hurt.

Fixed, thanks.

As mentioned by others, we don't intend to change old URLs (as opposed to page titles and text), because they're more like code than content, and it would take some effort to prevent breaking links.

I wasn't after the URLs, just the title, as HTML code calls it. So, thank you for the fix, Violet. :)
