For reasons that I don't understand, on the Panopticon Archives, in this section…



…the links all point to pages with those supposed titles — i.e. Protection issues. Strangely, it does not appear as a redlink there, but if one clicks on them, one is then told that these pages are "the Zero Room" — that is to say that no such page exists.

I was quite puzzled by all of this until I realized that all of the links are written as if linking a page, rather than a category. Thus the example's link should be written as Protection issues, for Protection issues.

How this mistake could have persisted for this long even though it makes the entire list of links next-to-useless is beyond me ( perhaps some upgrade that didn't go well in years past? or a bug when archiving the old Forums? ), but it really should be fixed. Thing is, I can't do it, as, being as its name implies an archive, the Panopticon Archive can't be edited by just anybody.

Indeed, perhaps no one, even the admins, can edit it; I don't know. If not, then a possible fix would be to create each linked page as a redirect to the relevant category.
