Bad wikilink/redirect[edit]

The wikilink for "Devastation Class Battleship" in the info box for this boat takes us to a "Dévastation class battleship" which redirects to "Devastation class battleship." The two pages aren't about the same ships. In fact, one is French and the other British. I doubt either ship enjoys the association. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.19.84.33 (talk) 21:01, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
