About the "Wiki" button

[Winz]

Hello again there,

 

This maybe goes to the ones who handle the source files of rAthena Board.

 

As we know, there's a "Wiki" button at the top of the page. Otherwise, when people click it, it will redirect to:

http://rathena.org/board/index.php?app=ipbwiki

which will redirect (again) to

http://rathena.org/wiki/Main_Page

 

Just giving a suggestion, why don't the link directly redirect people to

http://rathena.org/wiki/Main_Page

instead of

http://rathena.org/board/index.php?app=ipbwiki

?

 

the usual way will take more time that people may probably think that the site does not exist / under maintenance, or other, which leads them to close the tab directly.

 

Well, I don't know other specific issue / the truth reason for this, but as I observed, the method I suggest loads the Wiki Main Page faster.

 

 

Thanks for passing by and reading this thread! Hope you guys will have a nice day!

As far as I'm aware, the ipbwiki link just ensure that the correct cookies are all defined so when the user is presented with the wiki main page, the user is already logged in with their correct credentials.

If the wiki was only editable by staff that I wouldn't mind changing the link. I believe the link need to stay, but Brian may know a bit more about this than I do.

Yes, the redirect via ipbwiki is to ensure you are automatically logged in to the Wiki with your IPB credentials.
