Forum:CT Archive/Legends links on real-world articles

So, it seems one of the side-effects of the canon/Legends default switchover is that when the links were converted, those on real-world pages which originally linked to Legends pages were changed to link to the "/Legends" articles. However, this was just something that simply sort of happened, rather than anything that was ever really formally discussed. Personally, I think it would be better to link to the canon articles on pages such as "Bantha Music" (bantha) or actor pages like Ashley Eckstein, unless the page is about a Legends product or material, or there's a compelling to reason to do otherwise. (Particularly with Eckstein, it seems silly to link to link to a Legends Tano page that mentions nothing about Star Wars Rebels.) I'm going to split this into two votes. Vote for the first option if you agree with this - that real-world pages should link to the canon articles unless there's a reason not to, such as the page itself being about a Legends subject, or describing Legends material. Vote for the second option if you feel that such links should be left alone.

Oh, and I don't know if there's really a way for a bot to handle this, but I suppose it could just be done manually as people notice them, if need be.

Support (Legends links to be changed to canon on real-world pages such as actors changed where appropriate)
