Talk:The Teacher
Page contents not supported in other languages.
This article should be merged into the Sir Leigh Teabing article. There's really no point in having this article seperate from the other one, is there? dposse 00:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have edited it because somebody obviously intent on revealing his identity screwed up the article. seriously, if one wants to know what the Teacher did and how he did it, they can proceed to the Teabing article. spoilers are not cool. -dogbert14
but this article fucked everything up for me and spoiled the book. Superior1 20:30, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've redesigned it so that it gives the option of going to the Teabing article. That way, it doesn't spoil it for anyone before they've read it ;). Will2710 14:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Um, if you don't want to spoil it for yourself, don't read the article. I'm fixing it. L2K 23:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The point is, Wikipedia ALWAYS contains spoiler warnings. It's perfectly possible to read an article about a film without finding out crucial elements of the plot, so this should be the same. Will2710 01:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, this needs to be deleted, just put a spoiler warning on top of Teabing's article. Therequiembellishere 22:55, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but if you put a redirect in, it makes it plain what's going on before you've even had chance to read the spoiler warning - if you search for 'The Teacher', and get redirected to Leigh Teabing, his identity becomes obvious without you even having chance to see the spoiler warning. Am I the only one who can see this? Will2710 21:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
To avoid spoilers, I have created a new page called The Teacher (redirect page). Before, when holding the mouse over the 'click here' link, the Teabing link could be seen in the link/security bar coming up as wikipedia.org/Leigh_Teabing or whatever. In this one, a redirect page takes you to the Teabing article, and when reading this article, if one hovers the mouse over the 'click here' link, all you can see is wikipedia.org/The Teacher (redirect). I think this is the right answer as it forces people to click on the link to find out, rather than inadvertently hover the mouse button over the 'click here' and accidentally finding out.

This whole is very unprofessional and silly. If someone clicks on the "Teacher" link it's because he wants to know about The Teacher. To treat our readers like children is extremely insulting and makes us look like a stupid fan site. --Tony Sidaway 22:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have nominated this redirect for deletion. The discussion is here. — Carl (CBM · talk) 04:18, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
