Summary

Dead-end pages are the worst nightmare any wiki editor or admin can have. Linking a page and having it get led nowhere else. But how can someone change this? There are a couple ways on how to fix dead-end pages.

Brief Description

As read in the best practice guide. Don't make dead-end articles, always try to link an article within an article.

Instead of saying, MP5 is a weapon.. Replace it with MP5 is a [[Weapons|weapon]] featured in [[Game 1]].. This will help users stay on the wiki longer and improve your wiki analytics.

Changelogs

A simple but effective way, create articles for Patch Notes. As seen on various wikis like ARK and Palia, they feature changelog articles of each update and then links changes in their respective articles.
