Hi SnakeChomp,

Nice work on the Settings page - the organization you have up top should be the way to go. For the settings pages themselves, I suggest adding a breadcrumb trail back to the Settings page. I've set up FMinesDelayMin as an example (and to make sure it worked), but they're pretty easy to use and figure out.

You might also noticed I moved the page FMinesAgeMax to Settings/FMinesAgeMax. I was trying something out - on the Oblivion wiki this subpaging would have created a breadcrumb trail (see this page for an example), but it doesn't seem to work here. Even worse, I can't seem to roll back the move as I could on the other wiki. For now, don't repeat my mistake, and, for later, I'll bring this up on the Community Portal.

fWeaponConditionJamXX Redirects

Within the search options there is a checkbox for "List Redirects", which solves the problem.

Unfortunately, there is no way to set the search to include redirects by default. Personally, I think I'd rather the Text match for fWeaponConditionReloadJamXX, and no title match, but the alternative is to use "soft" redirects, which are just short pages with a link to the group. Probably worth bringing up on the Community Portal.

Ah... no? I was not fiddling with anything that would have made it work. Did you check the List Redirects box?

Oooohhh! I know what's going on. In IE, "Enter" defaults to the (unused by Bethesda) Go button, which attempts to go directly to the page that you type in, and only uses the Search feature if that page is not found. Since the page does exist, it goes there, and is immediately redirected to the group's page.

In Firefox (and presumably other standards compliant browsers), because Go is not on the page, "Enter" defaults to Search, which immediately attempts the Search even if the page does exist. Since the page is a redirect, it's not included in the search results.

I'll ask Bethesda about adding the Go button to get around this.
