List of unmade monsters

Why are you edit warring with me? You've been told in the past to stop doing this.

No, no, you've got it wrong this time. I was trying to fix Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell because the dash over the "e" in Goke is missing in the reference to the film in the List of unmade monsters article and when you click on the article for the film, it keeps on redirecting to the version with the dash. I was trying to get it right.

I don't like being accused of a crime I didn't commit, so I suggest you stay put and stop looking for an argument where there is none. If you want to fix the redirect problem, fine. Just think before you act, if you don't mind.

The problem is that your trying to fix the link was making it redirect to nowhere.

Your first edit you changed the link from:

[[Goké, Body Snatcher from Hell]] to [[Gokè, Body Snatcher from Hell]]

The diacritic should be facing forward, not backwards.

I reverted that, and changed the link to [[Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell|Goké, Body Snatcher from Hell]] which is what it should be. The page is titled "Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell" without a diacritic, and the text after the vertical bar (|) is what it will display as.

Then later you were adding "(1968)" to the link, which leads nowhere. There is no such page titled "Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell (1968)."

When I undo an edit and correct the link, and am clearly repeatedly reverting your edits, why continue doing the exact same thing? It accomplishes nothing.

Wait a minute! The article does has the year of release on it and it does have a diacritic. Take a look for yourself if you don't believe me.

That's called a display title. The |dt= parameter in the infobox is set to "Goké, Body Snatcher from Hell (1968)." The actual title of the article that you link to can be seen in the page URL at the top of your browser. The page is actually titled "Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell." No year, no diacritic.

Okay, now it's fixed. The problem was when I clicked on the link the first time, then it redirected. I thought there was a mix-up and tried to fix it. Thanks for solving that mystery.

No worries. But please be mindful of edit warring - if you ever have a question about why something was reverted, feel free to ask. Repeatedly changing it back is just going to end in the page getting locked.
