 * G'day Gigs65, good to see you here. I notice that you fixed a few of the links to fullpointsfooty, so I'm assuming you are who I think you are, edit the Anagram article to confirm it!  A recent message to the Australian noticeboard about a Qld government website changing all their links reminded me that one day we need to do something about Full Points Footy links. There are only 2110 more links to FPF to go!  Plenty of these would have been overlinked with a link to an archive site, mostly to archive.org, but some to the NLA's Pandorra repository.  I was wondering if there was anything you could do at the australianfootball.com site to correctly redirect to the right page, not just to your front page. (speaking of frontpage, that is about where my website creation knowledge ends, about 10 years ago with basic html, so I know nothing about server redirects)
 * ie, 3 articles have links to http://www.fullpointsfooty.net/zebras_back_from_the_brink.htm. Is there something you can do on the Australianfootball.com server to automatically redirect a reader to http://australianfootball.com/articles/view/Zebras+back+from+the+brink+-+1962+VFA+1st+Division+grand+final%3A+Sandringham+v+Moorabbin/61, or is that too much work?  I just did a pivot table - there are 566 separate FPF html pages linked from wikipedia - the 65 links to bi-bz.htm# pages is the most, with r.htm, g.htm and t-u-v.htm are the next most linked to pages.  Plus about 90 images have a link to FPF, probably as the source of old out of copyright photos.
 * Of course on top of setting up any form of redirection system, the internal page #sublinks for the player biographies makes it harder to automate any redirection. :If you are who I think you are, it might be a good idea just to put a note on your user page to state your association with australianfootball.com too, just to avoid any COI issues. If you have any questions about what goes on here (Wiki rules can be confusing at times), please drop me a note on my talk page or via twitter.  Bit easier here, can go over 140 chars!
