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)~
This is the source of my little screw up earlier. We have a disambig on the same page as the whole "See Also" bit, and it's not the done thing. Mainly because this causes us to be using what is essentially a disambig page to link to another two disambig pages on top of the actual pages it should be linking to. That's a long way of saying we need to fix the workings of these three pages. Discuss. ^.^ | |||
The practice of putting a "See Also" section in disambigs is alien to me. But I think some wikis do practice it. I'm on the opinion that while it could be done, it's not necessary. | |||
I'm only unhappy that there is a ???, ????, and ?????? page, but no ?????. What's the deal? | |||
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)
I've gone ahead and removed the "disambig" tags from the three pages. We only need a "See Also" block on them. I agree with Bluer; the idea of having both on the same page is simply wierd. EDIT: Argh, wait, frick. That doesn't work; that's the problem I came to the other day. It IS a disambig page. I think we're gonna gonna just have to leave it and deal with the six annoying links on the links to disambig page... | |||
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)
Alright, I guess we'll just leave it for now until a more permenant solution presents itself. | |||
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. {{disambig}}
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)

My template is all screwed up now all of the old things I said don't even show.--BigCubby 12:16, October 28, 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
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)
- Well if it is unsearchable I suppose that is the only option.Keltainentoukokuu 18:07, June 12, 2012 (UTC)
Page
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)
