You're absolutely right, PlagueBearer. It doesn't. ...at all.
It's one of those things in coding that's just exhausting sometimes. The way the code works, it's intended that it grabs everything related to a title. So, the "Fruzti" page, for example, might also grab a listing not just for "Fruzti" but also a (theoretical) magic item called "Winter Boots of the Fruzti Warrior".
But in this case, it's grabbing pages that respond with "Reede, with any other words before or after it" (%'reede'%). So "bREEDErs" in included, even though it has precisely 'nothing* to do with House Reede.
If you ever see this happen, Template: Index gives some guidance on how you can correct it. I'll fix Reede so it appears correctly — Abra Saghast (talk) 10:48, 24 November 2024 (EST)
