Yes.

As mentioned, TagsReport is an old dodgy page. Literally, for years, I have been requesting to Fandom that they manually refresh its cache and remove old listings which never disappear. To this day, they have done nothing.

Threads for both message walls and the forum are a hackneyed MediaWiki extension that once you understand how inefficiently they are configured, why moving to Discussions makes so much sense. Threads have two kinds of URLs. When you’re on a thread, it’s ‘Thread:464363’ for example, which displays the thread and its replies. However, this is only a virtual display. Each reply itself is actually an individual sub page of the original post, itself a page of the thread or board_thread namespace, which are proper pages and indexed on Special:AllPages (tens of thousands, in fact). That’s why threads are so laggy. It’s basically as if you’re loading all the content articles on the wiki at once.

There’s some info for ya. Anyway, TagsReport only shows the names of individual comments, which are normally redirected back to the forum landing as you’ve experienced. You have to append ‘?redirect=no’ to the URL to view the comment as a page. However, for some reason, they can’t be edited once you get there, and recently ‘&action=edit’ stopped working by prohibiting edits, don’t know why. Basically now you just need to get rid of tags and that as you see them. Better someone who actually participates on the forum. Probably want to pass this on to the other mods.

Thanks for creating that thread about article editing. It was definitely needed and should help decrease unconstructive edits. Feel free to undo redundant edits (you can use the rollback option by the way) as you see fit.
