 * It does not matter what you are used to, or what you are trying to do. It also does not matter with what I want to do. The only thing that matters is what the WIKI VIEWERS WANT. Otherwise, it's just a poorly organized wiki,

If you look at this in a big picture, with both readers AND users, we're spending more time than we should. If they still go to their intended location, then it's fine. Either way, if the readers click a link, we shouldn't have to do all this.

The reader is not supposed to be confused. After all, that's why they put "Oh, you mean THIS?" at the top of the page. If the reader doesn't notice it, they can search up Fume-Shroom (PvZ2) and still be able to go to their intended page.

Also, I would want to say, that readers WON'T just leave the wiki just because they went to the wrong page. There's a redirect for a REASON. If not, the link becomes absolutely redundant, and the important information (i.e. strategies) will be lost, rather than the reader finding it. You can't just assume that readers will randomly leave the wiki just because they went to the wrong page. If they're one click away, then they would click it, not leave the wiki.

Finally, the names are DIFFERENT. Capital letters or not, they are still different. Putting (PvZH) at the end means that the reader might think that there was another page with the same capital letter. This is absolutely wrong, because the information is false. Readers should see that there are these specific details that make them different. A reader can't mix up Disco-tron 3000 and Disco-Tron 3000 or Whack a Zombie and Whack-a-Zombie. The capital letters and other small differences are meant to be seen clearly so you can differentiate them. Otherwise, I might have failed English

RIP me because this thread will pass.
