I can see this page has A LOT of redirects going to it. Is it really necessary with that many? Wouldn't Urinetown (musical) be enough? And, do all the redirects have any significant effect on the Wiki-engine performance? --Vikingstad 23:19, May 20, 2004 (UTC)
- Redirects are necessary to prevent duplicate articles on subjects that are likely to be referenced in different ways. Their creation is encouraged: redirects have no effect on performance. In this case, the show is most often referred to as Urinetown, but was Tony nominated as Urinetown The Musical. Given that Urinetown the Musical and Urinetown The Musical would be distinct wiki articles, it's better to head them off at the pass. And given that people frequently add a colon (Urinetown: the Musical) or other punctuation (Urinetown, the Musical!), it's better to head them off as well. - Nunh-huh 23:30, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
I see that the synopsis has the Spoiler warning, even though there really aren't any spoilers in the plot synopsis. This sounds like something you'd find on the back of the DVD box. Does anybody want to write a summary of the story that actually includes spoilers about the ending?
I agree. My understanding of the play is very basic, having only seen a high school performance knock-off, but I was able to add in a few things. But yes, I think that the spoilers should be put in — after all, we do warn the reader. --HereToHelp (talk) 21:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
We've got spoilers now! I've done my best to add a detailed (and hopefully at least mildly entertaining) plot synopsis for the show. I've added a list of characters and a mention of all the musical numbers in the piece as well. --jmr39 22 February 2006
I am doing this play and I am so excited!
