Please subscribe to the above. I'll try to resist the temptation to have every word link to a random entry on the grounds that everything is interconnected

<BB<

I’ve subscribed

Random linking every word would be awesome but not the most practical, so I will also try to resist that temptation

Mind you, we could add a <./>RandomEditedEntry</.> link on 'interconnectedness of all things', thus: interconnectedness of all things

<BB<

That would be excellent!

I put it in but I don't think it works in the new-fangled skin, alas...

<BB<

That is strange... I took the liberty of doing some testing when I was logged into the Editors' account and think I managed to get it to work as an external link - the Entry that came up was 'Getting to the Isle of Wight'!

Oh? How did you get it to work?
In the original skins you can link to, say, https://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/Classic/randomeditedentry but what would it link to in Pliny?

Something to add to the list of things to fix in Pliny (Not a priority alas)

<BB<

Yes, it is strange how some pages have the same name in Pliny and original skins, but most don’t... In Pliny the link is http://h2g2.com/random_edited_entry - with underscores.

The trouble with that link is that sadly it takes people out of their skin and into Pliny, so while a good idea unfortunately it doesn't work in practice . Would you like to check the entry anyway?

<BB<

Ah Never mind - it was worth a try...

Nice footnote, thank you Just to make it fully clear, let’s say: “This was the first ever drama series commissioned for BBC Four, although due to budgeting issues only one series was made.”

A couple of words disappeared from “And of course Dirk solves the mysteries using his powers of detecting ‘the fundamental interconnectedness of all things’.”

Apart from that, it’s ready to go to the next stage

That's been tweaked and the button pressed now
