I'm really sorry about this, but I have to ask you to stop updating links in talk page comments. As long as the redirect isn't being deleted, there is no harm in talk page comments keeping the outdated links. In fact, it's the opposite: leaving the comments intact is actually better than tampering with them. Changing the links skews the history of the wiki - those pages ''were'' called those names for a while, and it would be perplexing to look back at comments made at that time and find them leading to a page that should have been a redirect (especially in conversations that are specifically about how one was a redirect while the other was the article). It's also ''technically'' a violation of the Courtesy Policy, which states that only broken coding and signatures can be changed; one could argue that red links would fall under the "broken coding" umbrella and should be replaced by {{tem| | I'm really sorry about this, but I have to ask you to stop updating links in talk page comments.

Furthermore, having to update links is already a big, tedious hassle ''without'' having to worry about talk pages and archives (proposals, 'Shroom articles, etc.): as long as the mainspace (including galleries, templates, categories and files), policy and Help pages are up-to-date, our work is done. | ||
Again, sorry about this - your help with updating all those articles is appreciated, and don't worry about having to go back and revert the talk pages you already updated: I got it covered. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 13:55, 11 June 2012 (EDT) | Again, sorry about this - your help with updating all those articles is appreciated, and don't worry about having to go back and revert the talk pages you already updated: I got it covered. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 13:55, 11 June 2012 (EDT) | ||
