Description Mike Sierra 2012-11-28 21:54:59 UTC
See css/properties/break-after.  Adding property values generates unnecessary dangling links.  List of unresolved XRefs turns up nearly 200 bad "css/data types" links:

http://docs.webplatform.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WantedPages&limit=500&offset=0

Assuming there's no good reason for such pages, can they be globally removed?
Comment 1 Chris Mills 2012-11-29 10:37:20 UTC
I've just fixed this by editing the http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Template:CSS_Property_Value template to stop it creating a link. I think these pages are pretty pointless too, especially if you consider that the same value can have have different effects depending on the property it is used on. Take top, bottom, left and right, for example.

It would be fruitless to try to document all different possible effects on one page, and better to just document their specific effects on the property page they are relevant to.

If it is decided that we want to reverse this decision later on, we call always roll back my edit.
