I changed this from "page" to "string" because having redlinks anytime we actively display data from this property felt a bit silly (are we going to make entries for everyday symbols that get logged like castle, knight, tree, shoe, daffodil, etc?) --TEVESHSZAT (talk) 00:55, 30 June 2021 (CDT)

Oh man, I tried (for what seemed like ages) to figure out how to remove redlinks from various projects and finally accepted that it was happening and I needed to accept it...:) I never even considered tinkering with the "type". Nice change!
Out of curiosity, is there any way to force a link onto specific properties as needed? For example, I'm thinking of the BnE "Flower Types" template; we prob don't want links for 3/4 of the flowers (ex. daffodil) but maybe for some of the DR specific ones that have pages already going, or should have pages going, we would (ex.

That works (for the links, when wanted). Thanks!
And I did create templates for the B&E pages, Template:BEFlowers, Template:BEWoods, etc. But, I ran out of verve after updating all the Kitchen loot items from the original tables to the template calls.
