Red Links

There are quite number of redlinks on this page. Now that it's a "main" page link, are these red links going to be made into actual pages or removed? Really, the only useful page I could see is hitboxes ... maybe hitscan. Thoughts? - Vlad The Impaler 23:41, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, the redlinks might not warrant individual articles, but I do think most (if not all) warrant at least their own sections. Launch options definitely deserves either its own article, or should be listed in detail on a Steam article that could include the Steam Cloud redlink. Hitscan, hitboxes, and projectiles might be better off as section in an article about Hit detection. HLStatsX I figured would get an article if prophunt has one. RCON I assumed wouldn't actually be an article on RCON specifically, but might be an article like Running a server. Tournament mode might be in that as well. Commentary, particle, and material editors could probably just be part of a Tool mode article. And I linked "fps" because I thought it would be good to plan on an article about the various methods for improving fps, which definitely has an impact on gameplay.

I'm definitely open to suggestions on all this. Just sharing my thoughts on it while the discussion's still fresh. ~G-Mang (T|C) 23:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
