Show setlist vs. Page name

I notice that some of the songs have setlist names that are different than their page name, if you know what I'm talking about. For example, I already turned all the "They Got Lost (The Song)"s into "They Got Lost (Song)"s. Do you think you could turn all the "In The Middle"s into "In The Middle, In The Middle, In The Middle"s? They say "In the Middle" but they redirect to the "In The Middle, In The Middle, In The Middle" page. -invisiblehippo97

I ran Q-Bot to do this replacement but found very few links to "[In The Middle]", only one of which was on a show page. You can confirm that they've been fixed by looking at Special:WhatLinksHere/In The Middle. Any other changes? I can bang these out quickly. -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 21:25, 1 December 2014 (EST)

No, that's not what I mean. Here, look at the editing page for the show where the song premiered as an example. It says *[In The Middle, In The Middle, In The Middle|In The Middle] when it should say *[In The Middle, In The Middle, In The Middle]. -invisiblehippo97

i don't think that's actually a problem... Apollo (colloquia!) 21:34, 1 December 2014 (EST)

Well then, do you think you could turn all the "Doctor Kildare"s into "Dr. Kildare"s and all the "Doctor Evil"s into "Dr. Evil"s? (I don't know how many there are so there probably isn't even that many.) - invisiblehippo97

I checked and neither of those are being linked on any setlists. You can check yourself in the future - navigate to the redirect page ([Doctor Kildare]), click the link in "(Redirected from Doctor Kildare)" on top, then click "What links here" in the toolbox (on the left sidebar). -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 23:34, 3 December 2014 (EST)

I wasn't talking about setlists, I was just saying in general. I found some on this one song topic page. And I know about the redirect pages; that's a method that I've been using. Except I click on the setlist statistics page after that. (Okay there was only the one reference, but now you made it two!) - invisiblehippo97

Alright, how about this: (This would actually increase the number in the "known performances" counter for a song, so I feel that this is different and perhaps more important.) If you go to the page for "Drink!", the counter says 401 known performances. But, if you type in the word "drink" into the search box, it takes you to the redirect page to "Drink!" and if you click on the setlist search then, it says that "Drink" has 427 known performances. - invisiblehippo97

Nav templates

Just noticed that when the bot added the new nav templates to song pages earlier in the year it skipped all songs from solo projects. I don't know if that was intentional or not. Thought I'd give you a heads up in case it wasn't. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 19:30, 18 June 2015 (EDT)

Spoken Word

Hello Q-Bot! Please update all the individual song pages that have "Talking, Not Singing" as a theme to read "Spoken Word", which is where the link currently redirects to. Thanks! --MisterMe (talk) 09:49, 6 February 2018 (EST)

Museum of Idiots broken links

Hi Q-Bot! Looks like no one's used you in 3 years. I wonder if you can do something for me. Take a look at what I've been doing on the recent changes page. Can you finish the job for me? You know, fixing the Museum of Idiots broken links, changing all the "john"s to "tmbg"s? Thanks Q-Bot! - Invisiblehippo97 (talk) 18:51, 21 September 2018 (EDT)

Would just like to state for the record that I am aware this needs to be done and was planning to do it myself, just haven't gotten the chance yet cos I've been busy. I mean thanks for doing the ones you've done and all, I appreciate it, just, was thinking of it as really my responsibility cos it's my site. --Self Called Nowhere (talk) 18:13, 21 September 2018 (EDT)

I'm not home to do this tonight, but it probably wouldn't be too difficult to write a redirect on your server for the directory if you have an htaccess file. Could help with preserving SEO instead of a graveyard of broken links out there. -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 18:20, 21 September 2018 (EDT)

I did write a redirect for the main directory, but I'm not sure how to write one that would be able to work for individual links beyond that. But I can look into it, actually didn't occur to me. --Self Called Nowhere (talk) 18:43, 21 September 2018 (EDT)
