I've encountered a problem with the way I was linking to the forum threads. Previously, I was including the game name in the link before the game ID using <code><nowiki>{{#regex:{{PAGENAME}}|/\s/|+}}</nowiki></code> to improve accuracy of the links (I took the game name straight from the page name). This worked for the most part until I hit games that have different names for different versions (for example: Ratchet & Clank: QForce and Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea). For lack of a better solution, I've simply removed the page name from the link which is fine for now. This reduces the accuracy of the links but I haven't seen it fail or link to a wrong thread yet. | I've encountered a problem with the way I was linking to the forum threads.

Including the pagename in forum thread link
I've encountered a problem with the way I was linking to the forum threads. Previously, I was including the game name in the link before the game ID using {{#regex:{{PAGENAME}}|/\s/|+}} to improve accuracy of the links (I took the game name straight from the page name). This worked for the most part until I hit games that have different names for different versions (for example: Ratchet & Clank: QForce and Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea). For lack of a better solution, I've simply removed the page name from the link which is fine for now. This reduces the accuracy of the links but I haven't seen it fail or link to a wrong thread yet.
But if that does occur, we'll have to consider renaming the threads to fix the issue. - MrHulaHoop (talk) 14:48, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
