I recently wanted to start over a part of my world (a region of it), so I moved all related articles to another world (which I called “Archives”). I didn't delete all of the content in case I changed my mind and wanted to keep some of the articles. Since some articles (mostly languages/races) were still relevant for the original world (called “Albaris”), I then started to break one by one the links in between the two worlds. For example, the “elf” race was in the original world while its ethnicity “elvish” was in the new world, so I went on each article to remove the connection. Since it was very long, I tried and deleted an article (in “Archives”) to see if it would remove the link. It did, so I decided to delete the whole world (I gave up on the idea of keeping some articles). The problem is that the articles of the deleted world seem to still partially exist (as they appear in links on my original world), and now I cannot delete them. I continue to manually delete the links one by one, but now some links are out of my reach. For example, I was able to delete the “Related ethnicities” on the “Genasi” race, but I cannot remove the links to the “Related Organizations” (since the link “Related Species” is made from the “Organization” template). The main part of the problem really seems to be the “Related Organizations”. So now I would please need help to delete the links or the articles which were in the “Archives” new world (so that they won’t show in my original world). Thankfully I marked all of the unwanted articles with “OLD” at the start of their name, so they are easy to spot. I hope you can help me, and I’m sorry for this “in between world” problem.
1. Open "View World" on the wolrd "Albaris". 2. Search and open the "Genasi" article (species). 2. See the "OLD College of Exalos" link in the "Related Organizations" section. 3. Click on the "OLD College of Exalos" link. 4. Get the "Error 404" page since the "Archives" Wolrd no longer exist.
Sadly this is a bit of a loophole / go-around operation. The articles are indeed not there but because of the fact you moved their linked entities there are "ghosts" of them remaining. There is no way to fix this other than what you are currently doing. I might be able to tun a "clean up" operation for you that will make it much easier but I need to know which was the deleted world
Okok thank you, that's what I thought. I will continue to remove the links I can. Since the main part of the problem are the races, if it really doesn't work I could just erase them and create new articles (and the faith organizations I will redo anyway). If I remember correctly, the complete name of the deleted world was "Archives - Eborix" or "Archives (Eborix)". All of that world's articles have the name "OLD...". My current/base world is named "Albaris", but its old name was "Scaesia" (just so you don't delete it haha). The only small problem that could persist is that sometime the articles of the deleted world appear in the possible links (but it happens less and less so I don't think that it will be a reel issue). Thank you!
You should be all set now :)
Oh yes perfect, thank you !
