Locke Cole menu

We could, but I don't like redirecting to disambigs. Also it wouldn't make as much sense. Disambigs are better small too: If someone searches "???" they want to find something called "???".  ILHI 19:27, 12 February 2009 (UTC)~

SE are afraid of 5s. We could probably do something for "?"s; mentioning the locations in IX, the "action popup" in IX; and a single "?" is probably used elsewhere. Two though; don't think two alone would be used.

See Also is used on Wikipedia. Which is probably why it was originally added. Though this method usually means "remove redirects to teh disambigs". Unless it's capitalisation.  ILHI 17:07, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Isn't the Ghost in FFVI called ??? or somthing? Myself 123 17:14, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Errm; apparently it's "?????".  ILHI 18:58, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

LOL, I thought you said SE where afraid of 5s, heh heh. Myself 123 19:53, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Ahh; of course, that is a page I patrol. Ways to resolve it would be to merge the three disambigs (putting only TWO bonus links on the disambigs page due to redirects) or removing the see also-s, putting none on there but not being as user friendly.

Alternatively, leave it as is because they're not half as annoying as the links to Cuchulainn and Jormungand (or whatever the disambig page is called) because the ????s are quite noticeable, but you know that you don't need to fix these links.  ILHI 12:08, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

We could do this:

'''?''' may refer to:
*The [[List of Final Fantasy IX locations|locations]] before entering them in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''.
*An action sign in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''.

'''???''' may refer to:
*The [[??? (Final Fantasy III)|location]] from ''[[Final Fantasy III]]''.
*The [[Crystal Cave|location]] from ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.
*The [[??? (Before Crisis)|boss]] from ''[[Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-]]''.
*An [[??? (Crisis Core)|enemy]] from ''[[Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-]]''.
*An [[??? (Final Fantasy X enemy)|enemy]] from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]''.
*The [[??? (Final Fantasy X boss)|boss]] from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]''.
*Any number of targetable ???s in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'', generally used in quests.
*The [[Shadowland|dungeon]] from ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates]]''.
*The [[??? (Ring of Fates)|boss]] from ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates''.

'''????''' may refer to:
*The  recurring [[Lifebreak|spell]].
*The [[Rikku|character]] from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]''.
*The [[???? (Final Fantasy X-2)|boss]] from ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''.

'''?????''' may refer to:
*The [[Ghost (Final Fantasy VI)|character]] from ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''.

'''??????''' may refer to:
*The characters from ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'', being:
**[[Zidane Tribal|Zidane]] before the player gives him a name.
**[[Vivi Orunitia|Vivi]] before the player gives him a name.

Then we'll make the other pages redirect. The question is: where should we host the page? At "?" or "???". Also; in doing this we'll still have two or three entries on the "Disambiguations pages" page.  ILHI 11:42, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

FFTA2's ?[]

I think there's also a "?" sign for FFTA2, but I don't really know what is it for. Kuzlalala Squee! 07:37, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I believe its also used in FF8 selecting draw, and the person has an unseen spell or an unknown GF. --Henneyj 17:19, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Move to "Question Mark" or "Question Marks"? This is now unsearchable and unreachable without either a link to it or knowing to use its HEX (%3F) in the URL. 79.69.194.42 18:02, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be a full page? It has far more than enough examples for our policy of disambigs becoming pages. Doreiku Kuroofangu 18:27, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

None of the things are connected though.
Actually, I suppose we could. But then we'd also have to mention that they do it all the time in TAY and X-2 for every random characters.
