Re: Linking from monk's node to the node about their level

Would this be a link to e.g. Level 5: Monk? Not all levels have individual descriptive nodes: Scribe, Pilgrim, Hermit, Chaplain, Deacon.... But each of those links have a link back to Voting/Experience System.

Update: ok, a ^? link sounds good.

I don't like having the level be a link. Several levels don't have pages devoted to them and it will be even more that way when the level revamp happens. I'd instead put a ^? link after the level information that links to voting/xp sys or some other xp faqlet that includes links to the level-specific pages. It doesn't make sense to me to have a link to follow because I'm curious about what level powers someone else has. Maybe such linking would make sense when I look at my own home node, but I think the standard 'footnote' help link works fine for that and avoids kludgy code and inconsistent UI. - tye	[reply]
